You should then see the following screen;

Hope that solves your problem :).

It'd be possible (I'd have to learn a bit), but would require a plugin and is a bit beyond the scope of what I wanted to do with a simple widget/side block. I've had a quick search and there's two mods that have progress bars; Cyb - PayPal Donate (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=177563) and Donation Progress Bar-Forumhome (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=153519). You're probably better of asking one of them to update either mod to vB4, in which adding compatibility to display the bar in a widget/block would probably be fairly straight forward. If neither mod owners are willing to update their mods then I'll look into doing it myself further.

You can enable this on the forum-only package and make it visible on every page. This is explained in the third post (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1934820&postcount=3) of this thread. In regards to the donation bar, see my comments above to steven s.

could this please be implemented?

You should then see a page like the one below, place the Donations widget to where you want then hit Save.

There does seem to be something wrong with your vB installation. I know earlier (pre-Gold) versions of vB Suite had some serious problems with pre-loaded CMS data so if you've been upgrading from Betas to RCs to Gold then perhaps that's why.

If you're running on a test site, I'd recommend you try a complete fresh install (or upgrade from 3.X) and see if that solves it. If you're running live then temporarily disable all mods you've got installed try and add/move any widgets around to see if that works, if not then submit a bug report over on vbulletin.com.

I upgraded straight from 3.8.4 to gold, and already overwrote all files again with a fresh copy, I am going to try to disable products right now to see if they are causing it although I doubt it kind of because usually products dont have affect on admincp

Cyb has not responded for a long time to any of his mods, and the other mod is really really old, so if you could create it, it would be great :)

Hmm its too much stretched out, gotta figure out how to make it less wider, any ideas?

The widget's width is determined by the setting you chose in your Grid Manager and Layout Manger in your Admin CP under CMS options.

is there anyway to allow custom ammounts to be input by the donator?

Yes :). Find;

<select name="amount">
<option value="10.00">10</option>
<option value="15.00">15</option>
<option value="20.00">20</option>
<option value="25.00">25</option>
<option value="50.00">50</option>
<option value="100.00">100</option>
</select>


Replace with;
<input type="text" value="" size="5" name="amount"/>

A donation goal bar would be great if it's possible because other versions still have not been updated.

Cyb has not responded for a long time to any of his mods, and the other mod is really really old, so if you could create it, it would be great :)

there is no reply... wondering if u can work on the donation bar which can display on forum home?

Cyb has stated in his signature;
Note: All of my products are supported, but I'm busy with my main job, so please be patient when asking for support. *** vBulletin 4 versions will be released once we buy new license. No ETA ATM.

None the less, a basic one to do until that happens. Taken pretty much directly from this guide (http://blog.leetsoft.com/2006/8/22/super-simple-css-bars);

Edit Template

Admin CP > Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Edit Template > vbulletin.css
At then end of the template, add;
div.progress-container {
border: 1px solid #ccc;
width: 100px;
margin: 2px 5px 2px 0;
padding: 1px;
background: white;
}

div.progress-container > div {
background-color: #ACE97C;
height: 12px
}

Edit Widget/Sidebar
ADMIN CP > vBulletin CMS > Widgets > Configure and/or ADMIN CP > Forums & Moderators > Forum Blocks Manager > Edit
Chose where you want the progress bar to appear, insert;
We're currently 50% of the way to achieving our goal of &pound;100.
<br />
<div class="progress-container" align="left">
<div style="width: 50%"></div>
</div>
Change percentage, currency and goal amount to suit your needs.


You should end up with something like below;

Thanks for The Great hack.
I was able to finally get this to work for me by adding this to the bottom of "vbcms_widget_recentforumposts_page".

<div class="cms_widget">
<div class="block">
<div class="cms_widget_header">
<h3><img title="Donations" src="images/cms/widget-donations_colour.png" alt="" /> Donations</h3>
</div>
<div class="cms_widget_content" align="center">

If you like our website and would like to give something in return, you can make a donation. All donations are gratefully received.
<br /><br />
<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" target="_blank" method="post">
<div>
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick" />
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="your_email@your_site.com" />
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="www.your_site Donation" />
<input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="tax" value="0" />
<select name="currency_code">
<option value="USD">$ - USD</option>
<option value="EUR">&euro; - EUR</option>
<option value="GBP">&pound; - GBP</option>
</select>
<select name="amount">
<option value="10.00">10</option>
<option value="15.00">15</option>
<option value="20.00">20</option>
<option value="25.00">25</option>
<option value="50.00">50</option>
<option value="100.00">100</option>
</select>
</div>
<br />
Select your preferred currency and donation amount, then click the donate button.
<br /><br />
<fieldset>
<center><input type="image" src="images/cms/widget-donations_paypal.png" title="Pay Securely via PayPal" alt="Pay via PayPal" /></center>
</fieldset>
</form>
<br />
<center>Or You can choose any amount here.</center>
<center>Your_Paypal_code_button_from_paypal</center>
</div>
</div>
</div>

I got the regular paypal button from my paypal account, and remeber to replace your_site and your_email with your own.

This is just an alternative and is quit nice being under "Latest Forum Post" also.

You can see the results Here (http://www.linuxtuts.net/content/).

Guess I'm stupid... Following the instructions this will not work. Looking at the second pic; where did that code come from? I was hopeful but disappointed at the same time... Have not marked installed and can't until there is reason too. I hope I am missing something simple.

I couldn't get it to work as it is supposed to either.
That's the reason I came up with a different way.
It can't get much simpler than adding that code to the bottom of your "vbcms_widget_recentforumposts_page" template.

Hope this helps you also.

Thanks,

P.S. Still have to upload the image though.....And the code I'm referring to is from My post up above. (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1944233&postcount=40).Thanks,

None of this is to take away from the work that IR15H put into this. I am not a coder and could not have done what he did, so kudos to him for sharing this.

That said, I was interested in getting a progress bar along with the donate button. So, I bought a $20 script from here. (http://www.phpjabbers.com/paypal-donate-script/). I followed the installation instructions (took me 5 minutes), went to paypal.com to generate my code (5 minutes) and created a static HTML widget (5 minutes). The point is that it was very easy for me and I am by no means any type of guru on coding. My results are attached.

If you want to see it on my site, go here. (http://www.pebforum.com/content.php)

I am not criticizing the mod at all. And I am thankful for the instructions on adding to Forum sidebar...that is my next step!

When I click to change the amount or anything else, it sends me to my profile page.

Did I miss something???

Great work!

If we we wanted to add Australian dollars to the list we'd just need to add a value like:

<option value="AUD">$ - AUD</option>

Right?

What about passing a parameter?
I have a need to to know donor's user name.
They often use different email for Payal than for forum registration.

That is a good idea i'd also like to know which forum members are donating- can it be incorporated into the actual invoice via an API ?

The one in the Forum sidebar isn't working. I get this error message even though I copied the code from the CMS Section:

This recipient either does not accept payments denominated in US or has specified an invalid currency code on his web site. Please contact the seller and ask him either to update his payment receiving preferences to accept this currency or to correct his web site to specify a valid currency code.

That's correct :).

Use what SuperGLS has above for Australian dollars. In regards to colour, use <span style="color: XXXXXX">text</span>, replace XXXXXX with the colour of your choice.

I've no plans for that at the present time. I might look into it if/when it's possible to install widgets via the product manager system.

This rocks...thx a ton for the work put in! This is my 3rd day using vBulletin and setting it all up...flawless

The only note I might make is you say to drop it in the forum root folder, I needed to put the zipped stuff in the forums/images/cms to get it to show up properly.

awesome!

Will this work on 4.2.0?I just added it and it seems to work. I had to upload the images on my server to the images/misc folder though for them to show up. Not sure why!

I recently noticed that this widget tries to add a shipping charge to the users donation. Is there a way to disable this?

Installed +1.

However - the code is actually wrong - if you follow method B the widget looks like this:

145970

So in order to get it looking like the demo's in post 1 you need to edit the create template HTML from what was originally posted here:

<div class="cms_widget">
<div class="block">
<div class="cms_widget_header">
<h3><img title="{vb:raw widget_title}" src="images/cms/widget-donations_colour.png" alt="" />&nbsp;{vb:raw widget_title}</h3>
</div>
<div class="cms_widget_content" align="center">
{vb:raw static_html}
</div>
</div>
</div>


To read like this version here (add the red element):

<div class="cms_widget">
<div class="block">
<div class="cms_widget_header">
<h3><img title="{vb:raw widget_title}" src="images/cms/widget-donations_pound_colour.png" alt="" />&nbsp;{vb:raw widget_title}</h3>
</div>
<div class="cms_widget_content widget_content" align="center">
{vb:raw static_html}
</div>
</div>
</div>

Which will then render the correct ending

145971

It's sharing a table, not individual blocks.
Want individual blocks.
Any fix for this?
Thanx.
