Don't forget to download Payment System FIRST and install it before the Donation System Add-On. Here is the link to Payment System: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=1454673

I HAVE TO MAKE THIS VERY CLEAR!! IT WILL NOT EFFECT ANY CURRENT DONATION OR PAYMENT SYSTEMS YOU HAVE. Have no fear when installing. Your below mods will be unaffected by the new system.

Easy to Transfer Payments From:
Cyb - PayPal Donate
PayPal Donations For vBulletin 3.5.0
It is automatic when you run the install to transfer the payments to the new system still leaving the other modifications alone. This software in no way interferes in the other mods above so you can keep them installed and active while testing and merging over.

You select it in AdminCP the reset time to either every month or year. Also donation bar can be put on any page you would like or globally on all pages. It works for CMPS as well. It has instructions in the zip on how to do everything. It is all real easy and straight forward.

Download payment system and install that then install donation system. Donation System is an Add-On to Payment System.

So uninstall the donation system including files to keep it easier for you. Then install payment system then go on ahead with this mod again. Should have no issues. :)

Look at the picture attached it is your site and shows drop down menu working. That is one place they can click to donate as well as the donation bar where it says Donate Now. Remember to go to AdminCP and customize the settings to your liking. They work straight from the get go but some may want more permissions for usergroups.

For those of use that use CMPS, is there a way to have the goal information, progress bar, and % of goal reached and a link to the donations page within a module? Also where would I find the code for the "Donation" link in the navbar that it auto adds? I would like to move to a different navbar as I run two navbars.

Other than these two fixes I am loving this hack and the payment system hack.

I plan on releasing a module for cmps for thoses who wish to move it rather than have it under navbar.
All you need to do is shut off the auto add link feature in the Donation system->main settings menu and in the description it list the variables you can use to place it where you want.

I will look into that right now but sounds like you have settings wrong in that section. Are you using MOVE TO or ADD TO? Also YOU can NOT leave it BLANK thinking it will do all usergroups. YOU MUST set who to move. Sorry for confusion let me know if this helps will add more info the that ACP line.

Another thing PAY close attention to how you put in usergroups TO CHANGE (TO MOVE) IT MUST BE like this:
2,3,5,6,7,9,10

NOT
2 3
OR
2;3
OR
2
3

IT MUST BE COMMA separated usergroups to change/move to your designated group above. Here is screen shot. To show you what I mean.

AWJunkies
03-04-2008, 02:44 AM
i tried both settings just how you showed also it was my config protected admin that was moved :(

Both settings PLEASE be very very specific on what you did with pictures and results. I just double checked code and tested on 3.5 3.6.8P2 and 3.7B4 and 3.7B5 and all worked perfect. So if your admin account got moved it was because you had (in last picture example):

6 (admin) in usergroups to move to X group. Just go to your mysql and user table and change your user back to usergroup 6 or if you have another admin account you can login to VB adminCP and go to edit user and put to admin group and everything is back to normal.

Users to move to donation group you should only have group 2 (registered) unless you have other groups that you have created and want moved for some reason. Again all these settings are set for you at default. All you needed to do was create a new group for the donors (again don't have too and have system off) and then put that group #id into the system for system to move users to that group. If you did not put a group X then it would set the user to guest group.

It seems some people may run into issues with this as well not following directions so I will add some more security to prevent this.

Please look at image below that is how you should have settings (this is default just have to fill in the usergroup you create for donors (ID).

I was thinking about having the system auto create the group for you and enter the ID but not sure how people would feel if it did it auto if people didn't want to use that feature. If you guys want it to auto create the usergroup and fill in all info let me know I will do it.

I have had zero issues with this, I have a total of 24 user groups with 16 of those as staff groups, and I have 3 registered groups with 1 being the normal registered group (the other 2 are overrides for infractions so they are secondary groups) I only have usergroup 2 being able to be moved and has been the only group that has been moved when a donation is made by anyone.

Keep up the good work, and looking forward to more.

If you cancel a payment on paypal it will cancel out the payment in the system as well as redirect back to home page of your site.

The info for that is within the AdminCP: Says if you have auto insert off then here are the values to add. Very straight forward. If you need more help on it at www.allwheelcoding.com there is a full thread on how to add it manually to a custom template.

Yes will take you a matter of 2 seconds to do it ahah. Wasn't sure how far back people would want. I will make 2006 available in next release but in the meantime you can just do this.

go to donationsystem_admin.php file and search for:
// ######################## Manually Add Donation ########################

then below that 4 lines you will see:

for ($i=2007; $i<=2010; $i++){$years[$i]=$i;}

Change the 2007 to 2006 and your done :)

for ($i=2006; $i<=2010; $i++){$years[$i]=$i;}

Gotta love Fx and IE SUCKS any who it seems something to do with your style and font color. Search for that light grey color and let me know where you find it.

Sorry to be more clear it is a css issue. You seem to have it in a file so I can't see it in view source.


I found out what is breaking custom styles in IE and will fix it in next release.

If you can send me your css file over a PM I can help you out.

Make sure you have Vbulletin option Forum URL as a WWW not a http://yourdomain.com but http://www.yourdomain.com for the mod to work currectly (http://www.yourdomain.com/admincp/options.php?do=options&dogroup=address)

I'm having a problem with the navbar placement.
It appears the plugin does a str_replace of the FAQ for placement of $donation_link_menu,
but I have put my FAQ link into a menu of its own.
Is there any way to change this to utilize the $template_hook[navbar_buttons_left] ?
Since my FAQ is no longer in the primary navigation,when I use the auto placement,
it messes with the menu row.
no longer <td>FAQ</td>
is now <tr><td>FAQ</td></tr>

Look in the Donation System Plugin and edit the hooks to match your style. OR just manually add the variables to where you would like the menu to appear. This info is in the AdminCP.

swiper the fox, dora would be mad at you if you couldn't bring home the bacon (grin). I'd like to give you my personal advice, I have the progress bar and I made $133 in donations on a forum that is three weeks old--and I didn't add the donation mod till last week!

I'll admit, I bought the pro version of this and the payment system to go with it, money I've since recovered three times over in two days. First, I have nothing to do with the "awjunkies" group, other than I use their products and I'm one happy customer. I'm also editing their templates to encourage more donations as you can see here: http://www.shotcritic.com/forums/donationsystem.php?do=donation
This url actually shows $128 in two days,
http://www.shotcritic.com/forums/donationsystem.php?do=donationlist

My point is, you're shooting yourself in your foot if you think that the donation status bar hurts your site. Heck, I can't wait for the vBadvanced module to show it on the front of the site. I don't have the donation bar on the front because I don't use the standard navbar on the front of my site and I'm no programmer or coder, just some photographer and author who thinks he's a designer and webmaster and sometimes HTML and messing with this coding stuff makes me dangerous, but dora likes it (grin).

Just some advice, use the bar, it's a great marketing asset to this system, all the best, rg sends!

I have found it to work with many sites through responses from the site admin feedback so I agree its a tool thats proven. Also if you go to our site you will see the donation bar for cmps which will be released shortly.
Its always good to hear the feedback makes our jobs seem worth while in creating a mod that others can benefit from.

Thanks for your support

swiper the fox, dora would be mad at you if you couldn't bring home the bacon (grin). I'd like to give you my personal advice, I have the progress bar and I made $133 in donations on a forum that is three weeks old--and I didn't add the donation mod till last week!

I'll admit, I bought the pro version of this and the payment system to go with it, money I've since recovered three times over in two days. First, I have nothing to do with the "awjunkies" group, other than I use their products and I'm one happy customer. I'm also editing their templates to encourage more donations as you can see here: http://www.shotcritic.com/forums/donationsystem.php?do=donation
This url actually shows $128 in two days,

I don't mind the progress bar showing per se
but, its the showing of " 62 of goal reached " or 350 of 500 donated
once 500 is reached , no one will "donate" any more thinking that they have no need to

This is why I am thinking of removing some of that area.

I have read around and found the way to remove the xxx of xxx amount and the xx% has been reached
the progress bar is still there

Thanks alot !!!

You can simply turn it off in the admin panel, I guess, I have the pro version it allows you to do this and specify which groups can see it. Another solution, I had more contribute today, so I increased my goal another $50, why not? Nothing wrong in revising your goal. Seriously, for the improvement of our site, I earned over $160 now with that bar in less than 72-hours. Not bad for a three week old site with the donation system barely a week old itself. It was worth the $15 to upgrade to the pro system, got it back over ten times in less than three days! Thanks and all the best, it's a great system and I'm sure however you use it, it should work for you. rg sends!

swiper, just wanted to let you know, I hit my $250 goal, and in the admincp for the donation bar, I changed the message, go to http://www.shotcritic.com to see, and we still picked up another $100, not bad, $350 in about four days! Just fyi, the links and stats are there, to see how much, here's the link, http://www.shotcritic.com/forums/donationsystem.php?do=donationlist not making this up, and I started the donations with my own $5.

please help. THanks

Any idea what might be the problem here? Users don't seem to want to change groups.

http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/7254/donationsystemmanagemenfa7.jpg
http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/4154/usergroupmanagermusicphiy4.jpg

Usergroups effected = 2, registered users group which donating members are all part of.
Donated usergroup id = 9, which corresponds to the id of the usergroup i have created for donating users to be moved to... But once payment has been sent, and an admin has confirmed it they remain in usergroup 2.

No one else seems to be reporting this so i'm guessing it must be something i've missed. I'd be greatful for any suggestions though.

AWJunkies
03-19-2008, 02:11 AM
You have your settings perfect and thanks for those pictures really helps!!!!!!! 10 stars

They should AUTO be confirmed and moved to your group if the user clicks the link at the end of payment process with paypal.

If they are not clicking it and you MANUALLY add someone or confirm them they do not get moved or sent a thanks message or update there donation time. That is a PRO feature.

So it seems people are not clicking the link back to your site. Try turning off open payment window in new window and that should fix it will kinda force your users to click the link back to your site and it will auto do everything from there.

OR

Upgrade to Donation System PRO and have EVERYTHING automatic through IPN integration

So it doesnt pop up on both index and forum when it's installed, i got some unhappy comments about it today... I would prefer to turn it on when i have it translated and customized to fit my site. See? :)
Many people see that donation bar in 2 seconds mate, thats enough to think we're beggin for money, wich is bad at a site thats 1 week old...

So, i ask again, in another way, where do i turn off the donationbar in the scripts? For future updates i mean.

Please consider adding support for multiple donating / VIP groups.
This way we can offer multiple levels of donating, with different packages of VIP functions.

Would you consider E-Gold support? Either in the Lite or in Pro version.
Regarding the donation list: please consider giving donating members the option to:
- appear on the list or not.
- have the amount they donated listed there or not.

Sorry Site was changed around with new V2 coming out. LITE version is getting this upgrade sometime tomorrow or wed. You will see a new thread about it. Combining the two Payment System and Donation System to make things easier for you guys. SO the same instance for Product System and Payment System will be combined for a LITE version.

Those links in old V1 are no longer available because Payment System no longer exist. You will see in next few days.

Regarding the name to appear or not on list or the amount. This is a PRO feature ONLY and is coming WED as next V2.0.1 release. It would have been sooner in PRO version but V2 delayed things.

Also what do you mean by E-Gold support?

Main site is www.allwheelcoding.com

Now to touch on the multiple level package for donating usergroups. Now this falls into the category of subscriptions. I do have a Subscription System coming out. But probably not for another month finishing the Product System first. I need to know more along the lines of these groups and what they do. Also this would be a PRO ONLY feature. People ask for things all the time and I throw them in the next PRO versions. There is an update every week in PRO version of added features that members want. Also including language support. Will have German, Dutch, Spanish by next week and maybe more.

V2 is totally different and 100X better so you may want to check it out. There is a V2 LITE I will release on here in next few days but nothing what PRO is. Just basically the merge of Payment System and Donation System to be easier for you guys. It does have some more security, speed, etc stuff though.

04-15-2008, 11:37 AM
Also what do you mean by E-Gold support?
Some of my members currently donate through www.e-gold.com It is basically the same as Paypal, but there is no danger of chargebacks and e-gold does not seize your account.
A lot of people use e-gold.

I need to know more along the lines of these groups and what they do.
Multiple levels of donations:
Offer the opportunity for people to donate. For example:
donating member - $20
supporter - $50
fellow - $100
sponsor - $250
benefactor - $1000
patron - $5000

By preparing these choices chances are bigger that some will choose the higher options. Each level should have its member group.

AWJunkies
04-15-2008, 05:51 PM
Ok so you are doing a member group hierarchy TITLE type thing. Not tons of extra benefits and features.

Why not just have multiple title change per level of donation. I would prefer to do that since I do not want a Donation MOD crossed with a Subscription type thing. It has to do with a lot more things. But a donation is something without anything in return. If you give something in return then it is NO longer a donation but a payed service or added benefit. This goes along the lines of a donation being tax free and be able to prove it.

So what you want to do is very easy to add with the new cron I already have done that gives a user a medal/award in postbits/profile for the amount they have donated. You set the amount levels and so on and it does all the rest for you. Again this is a PRO feature only and would not be available through a LITE version.

04-15-2008, 06:29 PM
I do give my donating members more forum functionality, but other than that there would be no difference other than titles.

For those of you using Vba CMPS, and are having trouble getting the manual placement of the Donation Menu link and dropdown. Here is what I did,

Locate your FAQ link (or any link you want the Donation link to follow), then place the
$donation_link_menu variable on the next line after it.

Locate the "<!-- NAVBAR POPUP MENUS -->" comment and place the $donation_link_menu_options variable 1 or 2 lines after it.

Save your Navbar template and refresh the page. It should be working now.

It's not clear in the AdminCP as to where to put these variables and I was initially placing them together one after the other, and it was screwing up my style.

EDIT: Also, I added these variables to the global POST variable section in vba CMPS.

Hopefully this was of some help to someone,

Are you considering to add e-gold to your donation methods?

So far you have paypal and credit cards through google as payment methods.
Other popular methods are e-gold, online bank transfers (http://www.online-bank-transfer.com/), money bookers & western union. It would be great to see more methods integrated. online bank transfers (http://www.online-bank-transfer.com/) are already competing with the popularity of credit cards in Europe and will likely become the major way of payment.

Yes I can support ANY form of payment and WILL be increasing the payment methods just need people to let me know what they want and consider it done. I am working on a lot of things at the moment on PRO. Another BIG update is coming this week. With an Awards system and so on.

I am not sure where to start on this one. I have never seen mkportal before nor anyone use it. All I see is Page generated in 5.76427 seconds with 25 queries WOWOW. AND TONS of errors on your pages. For instance go to your forum in Fx and see where your top banners are. They are way off and have to scroll right for two pages along with bottom VB icons etc. I see tons of errors everywhere on this portal system.

This MOD has nothing to do with index pages. So doesn't matter what forum/index/cmps_index you have. I will need a temp admin. Sent to me to really dive into this issue. Cause I don't see this 404 error you see so I will have to test around and see what is causing it. There are no issues on Vbadanced or VB so I am leaning towards the software mkportal. So will need to look into it.

In the lite version it will only automatically update if they follow the link back from Paypal to your site mate. If they don't you will need to confirm the payment manually, but Adam has made that a simple 2 mouse click operation.

* Also when they pay they aren't switching to the Donator usergroup

On the site I admin I've had to set it to MOVE instead of ADD in the group change settings so that it made the VIP/Donators usergroup their primary instead of registered users. If I left it on Add then the usergroup title for the VIP/donators group wouldn't show.

Do you think we could add subscribers to this ?

A bit confused here.... in the Payments Mod it says that it is no longer needed and has been incorporated within this Mod.

Yet this Mod says it is still needed?

Which is correct?

Is there anyway that this could be made so that users can select multiple currencies to donate in such as a drop down menu to select either dollars or pound sterling. Often people do not know the conversion between dollars us or aus to pound sterling and vice versa.

This is in PRO V3 coming out in few days.

FYI guys this is NO LONGER supported this MOD and Payments have been merged and now are a new mod. I can not stress this enough. I guess I have to do another message out to people.

Here is new link: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=177437

Please grab V2 LITE and install it right away it has tons of changes and new features.

I would like to request a feature.

In the donation drop downI would like two more items:

1) A link to sign up for subscriptions
2) A list of subscribed members

I would assume these would be optional so that people that include subscriptions in their count towards the total donation would have these two options.

I think this should be fairly easy and I was tempted to hack this myself ... but figured I would ask you as I am sure others would like these features.
