[marcus123]

[iyama]

open up VSa_PPDon.xml
and search for d-m-y
and change them to
%d-%b-%Y
save and re import the mod
allowing overwirte

It works Hippy :D
It was a lot of % work after every d/m/y, but its now working.:up:

Thnx m8

[RobVT]

NavBar appears on the page for me vb 4.2 PL2 but doesn't update. Anyone else have this and fix it?

Hi

I followed these steps, in the file there are 12 instances to replace; but the difference is now the date changes to show %d-%b-%Y ; but I cannot view the date correctly.

Thanks

[Hippy]

thats where you need to chnge to your needs where you found those area or code
not sure of what would be good for your forum..
or other time stamps
sorry

Did you try remove & re-installing the mod. If still the problem exist, post screenshot here that how you want.

[M.C.]

any other donation APIs can be integrated?

[iyama]

Hi

Thanks

You must replace all d-m-y.
Even the lines with:
dateline- d
dateline- m
dateline y

Et cetera.

It was a lot of replaces i know, and searching also.
Just start at the begin of the xml and look at every line to a d, m or y.

Hint: Do you have a chatbox? Than look in that date setting to make it working on your site.

Good luck ;)

[ozione]

hi!
any way to multiply donations? i'd like to have two different donations running on my site. is it possible?
thanks

[ozione]

nothing?

[MrBeastlymfe]

What would I put to manually insert?

[smokey7722]

I just upgraded to 4.2 and the Quick Links link isn't showing up anymore. I've done all but uninstall/reinstall. Any other recommendations before I go to that extreme? I've tried disabling/enabling the option for inserting the link, disabled the hack in the config page and disabled the plugin entirely. Nothing seemed to work.

[travman]

How do I access the files to edit? The vsapaypal_title and all that, it has been a while since I have had to do that. I need to change some wording again. Thanks!

[MrHorror]

I have a small issue with this mod. The DONATE link is default colored lime. But when it's installed the small bit of text that says FORUM beneath the navbar? Turns lime colored as well! I did re-color the link white in the Options section to return FORUM to its white color, but I'd really like this link to be lime colored. How do I fix this?

[Jeromedia603]

Anyone know how to change the border color around the donation box? The box area that shows how much has been donated etc? Where to change the color of this border.

Thank you.

[smoknz28]

Working good for me on v4.2.0 Level 3.

Thanks! ;)

[cravendale]

Hi,

Is there a way to be able to remove the (User: billandben)
part from paypal ?

[wobbly]

Cannot seem to get this working on 4.2. I install it but I get no link on the navbar or anything else.

[cravendale]

Hi,

Is there a way to be able to remove the (User: billandben)
part from paypal ?

Anyone help please?

[dagg929]

Any way to get like a note or page up above/below the donation one where I can inform people as to some rewards they get with donating?

[Aramist]

Is there anyway to insert BRL as a new currency?

Is it works if I just add BRL|Brazilian Real in xml file before import the product?

Ty in advance

[deltahawk5]

I would also like to know how to change the border. I have looked in stylevars and editemplates but i dont know what to change:

[spiritguide]

Just had to say many many thanks for your simple explanation and step by step help ive finally managed to install on my own woo woo lol thank you

[deltahawk5]

I digged into the code and found how to change the border.

You'll need to download the xml file and find this line (1323) with Notepad or Notepad++ :

<div id="vsapp_boxswitch" style="padding:0px;margin:0px;border:1px solid {vb:stylevar shade_color};border-top:0px;{vb:raw vbcollapse.collapseobj_vsapp_boxswitch}">

Take out
{vb:stylevar shade_color}

and replace it with your color of choice.

I did the following for a black border.

<div id="vsapp_boxswitch" style="padding:0px;margin:0px;border:1px solid #000;border-top:0px;{vb:raw vbcollapse.collapseobj_vsapp_boxswitch}">

and this was the result:

Once you have edited and saved, go to the plugin manager, add new, allow overwrite and enjoy :)

[Abominus]

How do I add that donation-goal?

[qcomer]

Cant get the bar or the link to the domations page to show up on 4.2. any ideas? I have the same problem with the chatbox.

[Stefan84]

Same problem, link is gone from the navbar quick links

EDIT: Dont know how to add to Quick Links, but:
/forum/misc.php?do=donlist

will let u edit the donations.

[Panthrus]

Is there anyway to insert BRL as a new currency?

Is it works if I just add BRL|Brazilian Real in xml file before import the product?

Ty in advance

It works....that's what I did on my board.

[Panthrus]

I can't make the Paypal notification system to work.

I have received some donations and they're still flagged as unconfirmed.

I'm sure I have enabled the notifications and pointed to the board's url, I have even resent the notification several times, and I can't get it to work.

[lurch_cr]

Ive decided to enable the usergroup promotion ability of this mod.
Is there any way of retrospectively do this for existing/previous donations?

[Valter]

Select them on the list, then use "Add/Move to Donor Group":
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=112712&d=1266753866

Set in Product Options if you want to Move or Add Donors to your Donor Group:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=112716&d=1266753914

[lurch_cr]

Cheers - thanks mate

Why haven't you fixed the span issue in the xml yet?

[oldfan]

How can I add the donation bar to my other pages IE: forumdisplay, showthread?

thanks

[Mikhael_]

Valter,

Is there a way for us to put a PayPal Image and Link on the donate page?

Thanks!!

Nelson

How can do that? I didn't find any answer ..

Thanks!

[BryanLong]

Dear all,

what do I have to change in which files if I did not want this mod to collect the IP-Address of a non-known user?

Greetings,

[Kevin Ban]

the 'donate' word is not appearing anywhere on my webpage. how do i enable it?

I think it has something to do with the template, I'm using 'Green SEO fixed width'. The word donate appear in default style but not my Green SEO fixed width style.

[RedFoxy]

Hi!
I've a little question, I've a rank with an image for the donator group, but after I add an user in the donator group by VSA Paypal Donate plugin, I must run the user update title to see the new user rank in each user that is in the donator group.

There is a way to make it easy? Now I've about 100.000 user and the user update is really long to do

[marccap]

Installed on 4.2 and working fine

[RobDog888]

I have installed before my 4.2 upgrade and need to finally get this back working. I downloaded the 5.0.3 version now so do I need to uninstall this or just allow overwrite?
Its currently not working and not accessible under 4.2

[RobDog888]

If i uninstall and reinstall the new version will that clear out all my previous donations? I cant lose that information

[Valter]

Don't uninstall, just allow overwrite.

You may wish to backup table vsa_ppdonate before doing anything.

[Lightmaster-AH]

Hallo

and thanks for this great addon. Is there a way to put the donbar on another position?

Thanks!

[marccap]

How do you change the color of the donation goal box from the standard blue?

[deltahawk5]

Any idea how to manually remove the bar and redeploy it in another location?

[deltahawk5]

[vimarc]

Sounds interesting. Give a try for this mod also..

[commonwealth]

I am having a problem when setting up subscriptions: Currently I have them set up as 5|6 and 5|12 (an example) however this is setting up a subscription to pay once every 6 months. It is supposed to be set up as $5 per month for 6 or 12 months (again number amount just used as an example) Is there a way to fix that? Or am I completely lost. I had this plugin a while ago, and just added it back and I thought it worked before. Thanks for any help.

[Spika]

Problem with format date persist %d-%b-%Y

[commonwealth]

Is this application being supported anymore?

[zzSQL]

What does "enable hack" mean?

Don't like the sound of that on my forum lol

[Hippy]

What does "enable hack" mean?

Don't like the sound of that on my forum lol

back in the day all mods where called hack..
because you had to add code to files..
so you where hacking / adding code that was not original to the file..

now they are mods
because of the way they are implemented to the board software.
some authors still use hack instead of mod...

that's a fast run through

basically your enabling the mod / addon

[mc0676]

He guys, i need to place the bar in the footer and not under navbar.
Which is the short key that i've to use to place it where i want in forum home ?

[Pittski]

The fill color on my donation bar is no longer there. When I set the color up in the Admin options nothing happens. :(

Edit: NVM Figured out, The new options in .0.3 overrides the original options. Forcing you to use the new ones.

[moonclamp]

Has the recurring subscription issue been sorted out yet?

IE, I'd like the 5|12 option to "donate £5 per month for 12 months", not £5 every 12 months x 12 times (as is currently happening).

[MonkYZ]

Guys, how can i setup the PayPal Donate Donation Bar to show only on the Blogs and Donations page?

I don't understand why it's also showing on the ChatBox page: http://www.consolegames.ro/forum/misc.php?do=cchatbox

[MonkYZ]

I want to make sone "refunds" and manually add some negative amounts in the donation system. Unfortunately it doesn't allow me to manually enter negative values. Is there any way to change this?

[Badhabitz]

Has the recurring subscription issue been sorted out yet?

IE, I'd like the 5|12 option to "donate ?5 per month for 12 months", not ?5 every 12 months x 12 times (as is currently happening).

In the XML file change

$vsapp_ppurl .= '&p3='.$vsapp_get_amount[1];


to


$vsapp_ppurl .= '&p3=1';

&p3=1

So the 1 is how many months so you could change it to 2 3 etc. Of course if you do this is will make all subscription the same amount of months.


You can also change

$vsapp_ppurl .= '&t3=M';

to

$vsapp_ppurl .= '&t3=D';

And this would change it to days instead of months.


Just reimport the XML file through the admin panel and your done.


Hope that helps

[dougdirac]

Is it possible to automatically add users to two usergroups when confirming donations? I tried putting two usergroup id numbers in the settings, separated by a comma. It seems to have worked, but wondering if it might cause issues?

[iraqiboy90]

Just reimport the XML file through the admin panel and your done.


Hope that helps

No need to edit the XML file if you have it already installed.
Just go to plugin manager, "VSa - PayPal Donate - Ext" and then find and edit and save.

Thanks :)

[katie hunter]

Hi, is there a way to have it shown on a side block ?

[deen1982]

A guest cannot view my forum. He will be redirected to login screen.
Is it possible to make the donation bar visible for guests in the login screen?
So that a guest can donate to register ?

[webspider]

I have a weird problem. My donation is setup like this. 3.99|1, 9.99|3, 29.99|12 The 2nd and third option work but the first I get an error from PayPal saying an invalid links was followed. If I remove the first option the 2nd (now the first) option works. If I change the 3.99|1 to 3.99|2 it works. I have to assume that the mod does not like the |1 option.

[Dirks]

So I just installed this and plan to use it for DONATIONS.

It seems that the system, when it transfers money, sets it up as a purchase of a good. Thus Paypal charges a fee. Is there anyway to change how paypal registers the donation as a transfer to avoid the fee?

TBH I believe that wold be a violation of PayPal terms, unless of course you are a Not For Profit organization, then if so, I think you would have to take that up with them.

[piratarg]

It works Hippy :D
It was a lot of % work after every d/m/y, but its now working.:up:

Thnx m8
That's not true. You can edit all the xml but the problem persists.

Problem with format date persist %d-%b-%Y

Uninstalled
Yes, I also have the same problem. A shame, I liked this mod...

[n1kko]

I'm sure someone has asked already but I can't seem to find it or get it working on my own....

How can I create links in threads that use the donation system (add to the total) such as:

Donate $5

I was also going to ask how to add donate 5$ every month but it appears someone has just asked that I believe.

[VAG]

Has anyone a solution for this? I am using a custom style and it only shows up in the default style.

And another question from a n00b programmer: I am using a different Style and I don't see the donate button in my default style, only in the Test style which happens to be the renamed default style. How can I fix this? Donation page does also not show up under the quick links.

Thanks!

[Gradonil_Ral]

Is there a way to confirm the actual amount of the donations? I mean after the fees.

For example a 5 USD donation only gives you 4,5 USD. If I try to edit the amount to 4,5 USD, it changes to 4 USD...

~~Edit~~
Changing "amount" type to DECIMAL(6,2) added a .00 decimal to the amounts on the donation list, but if I try changing that to .50 via the plugin's "edit" option, it gets reset back to .00
If I edit the amount in the database itself, there's no problem with the decimals... What am I missing?

~~Edit2~~
Okay, I solved it.
Turns out I also had to go to "ACP>Plugins & Products>Plugin Manager>Product : VSa - PayPal Donate>VSa - PayPal Donate - Ext" and change both instances of: 'amount' => TYPE_UINT,

to: 'amount' => TYPE_DECIMAL,

[Gradonil_Ral]

This modification does not handle the donations as actual "donations" - they are billed as regular "payment".

Here's how you can change that:

Edit the xml (before installation) or go to ACP>Plugins & Products>Plugin Manager>Product : VSa - PayPal Donate>VSa - PayPal Donate - Ext (if you already have it installed) and:

1. Locate:
$vsapp_ppurl = 'https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick';

2. Replace it with:
$vsapp_ppurl = 'https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_donations';


PayPal doesn't allow creating subscription links for donations. There are two ways of dealing with that:

1. We can remove the "amount" from the donation link which will allow people to manually add said amount on the PayPal's donation page. If you open PayPal's donation page without a set amount, you will be able to select "Make This Recurring (Monthly)"*, which will run until the Donator clicks unsubscribe in his PayPal account.

*Seems only possible when viewing PayPal with US, GB or AU locale selected.

Unfortunately, I can't readjust the modification to make this option work perfectly, but here is the bare minimum:

1.1. Locate:
$vsapp_ppurl = 'https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick-subscriptions';
$vsapp_ppurl .= '&a3='.$vsapp_get_amount[0];
$vsapp_ppurl .= '&p3='.$vsapp_get_amount[1];
$vsapp_ppurl .= '&t3=M';
$vsapp_ppurl .= '&no_note=1';
$vsapp_ppurl .= '&sra=1';
$vsapp_ppurl .= '&src=1';
$vsapp_ppurl .= '&srt='.$vsapp_get_amount[1];

1.2. Replace it with:
$vsapp_ppurl = 'https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_donations';

1.3. Locate:
$vsapp_ppurl .= '&tax=0';
$vsapp_ppurl .= '&shipping=0';
$vsapp_ppurl .= '&no_shipping=1';

1.4. Replace it with:
$vsapp_ppurl .= '&lc=US'; //Either US, GB or AU will work.

1.5. Find the vbphrase named vsapaypal_for_x_months and edit it to say:
each month (check the box on PayPal)

Done.

2. Use the original payment system for subscriptions.

Lemme explain how the subscription variables work so that you know how to best edit them for yourself:

a3 - the amount
p3 - duration of the subscription
t3 - unit of the duration - D, W, M, Y (Days, Weeks, Months, Years)
src - whether the payment is supposed to be recurring (0 - no, 1 - yes)
str - how many times should the payment recur (1-52)
sra - if the recurring payment fails, should PayPal try two more times before cancelling the subscription (0 - no, 1 - yes)
no_note - whether to ask for a note for the recurring payment (1 - no <-- always choose that for subscriptions)

So, if you locate:
$vsapp_ppurl .= '&p3='.$vsapp_get_amount[1];

And change that to:
$vsapp_ppurl .= '&p3=1';

Then the subscription will be 1 month long, and will repeat (the payment) the number of times the used chose from the dropdown box.

~~
It's probably possible to edit the mod to use a custom length of the subscription too, but I don't have a business PayPal account so I can't test that. (Payment Subscriptions are only available for business accounts).

[maryx]

I have been using Donate successfully for a while but about 6 months ago it stopped working. People can make a donation but it does not appear in my paypal account. Do you have any suggestions?
The paypal account is correct.

[Novablaze]

Hi iv have not long started using this app tho had it installed for a while and have noticed when people donate all goes threw but it does not show up on the View Donations page any advice?

I also made the $vsapp_ppurl = 'https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_donations'; change

FYI Removing this from 3 different forums has fixed the very popular "filestore72" redirect issue. (vB 4.1.2)

Are there any updates to permissions/files where we can secure this further?? I have it turned off but I would much rather prefer the freedom of my users to send me dollars - haha.

Thanks again!

Works perfect. Thanks.

this mod turned out to be a playground for hackers unfortunately

almost all donations registered through it are fake
all it does is make me ban people and worry about my pp email address being leaked

uninstalled and not recommended
you'll be fine with a standard button

[DARKSTAR MIKE]

^ Yes I mentioned it earlier (2 posts up) but no word from the developer on securing it better for 4.2.2 --- unfortunate.

I have had this mod installed on my forums for over 2 years and I have "NEVER" had any problems ... if all donations are fake that doesn't mean this is a playground for hackers, it means you have spammers who are just messing with your site or guests and members who are checking out the donation system ....

Not cool to accuse someone's mod of it being something it is not ...

[SkepticalGaming]

This plugin doesnt hand out the VBexperience donation award, and ive tried the CyB and that just doesnt work. anyone have any luck?

[dagg929]

I don't recommend this mod.

My website is being redirected now off of google search after running this for a few solid years. Disabling it fixes it, enabling it and letting some time go by-- well, it just comes on back.

[DARKSTAR MIKE]

^ The next time this happens you might find that disabling ANY plugin will restore your site - not just this one.

But even with that said I don't recommend this mod anymore. If anyone has any other solutions please let me know.

[bremereric]

Worked for me just fine in vb4.2.3

[imanutter]

Been using this a long time. It was installed by a professional as I was new to vb.

Question.

I am the only one who can accept donation. I have looked every where to add others or even other user groups.

I'm guess it's a simple fix but I have no idea and no one else seems to have posted this problem.

Thanks in advance.

This is correct.. may be if I explain this way..

When some one donates, it's not set to auto accept and auto update on the donations list.

Once I have confirmed payment I then approve there donation on the web site and the donation list is updated.

No other partner on our Web site can accept the donation on the web site apart from me.

[ozzy47]

If that is what you want, the only option is the pro version of the DBTech one, this mod has never auto confirmed donations.

[JesWhite]

hi. how can i add this addon manually.?
i want to add manual to templates...

if ($vbulletin->options['vsapaypal_donbar_autoinsert']) { $ad_location['global_below_navbar'] .= $vsapaypal_donbar; }

this code is autoinert to navbar.. this code is addon named VSa - PayPal Donate - Link
and i want to insert to navbar but i want to show only registered users etc...
because of i must add manually...
there isn't any option to users...
thanks for your helps..

i will disable autoinsert on vbulletin settings... after that i will add manually.
i added {vb:raw vsapaypal_donbar} but not worked..

[Fungsten]

I don't have an /inc/plugins/ directory. I have an includes but does not contain the plugins dir.

Yes I have looked around the software and the directory is no where.

[moonclamp]

Does anyone know how to make this work when the forum is turned off?

I'm sick of perpetually begging my members to give money so need to do something drastic.

[Peter Walker]

I know I am late, yet I have only now moved my vB 3.8.9 forum straight to vB 4.2.5.

I have been using the similar Donate hack on vB3, so it made sense to install this one. It looks similar, but there are some differences and I found a pretty big bug - surprising nobody talks about it in 57 pages of comments. I did find a workaround for the bug as I will explain.

First of all, I compared the differences in what is sent to PayPal between the old and new version.
This mod adds the following to the url string sent to PayPal: &sra=1&src=1&srt=1

Seems harmless enough, until you try to submit a donation for one month. This results in the following error on PayPal:
"The link you have used to enter the PayPal system is invalid. Please review the link and try again."

As I knew that only three parameters had been added, I tested each of them until I found the problem: srt=1

PayPal defines that parameter as follows: "Specify an integer with a minimum value of 2 and a maximum value of 52."

Sure enough, as soon as I set srt=2, it worked.

As I did not want recurring subscriptions, I made some changes to the .xml file to get it to work as it did in the vB3 version. I also decided to set the locale to US as otherwise, my mainly US subscribers were being presented with a German PayPal page.

Find the following in VSa_PPDon.xml

if(strstr($vbulletin->GPC['amount'],'|'))
{
$vsapp_get_amount = explode('|', $vbulletin->GPC['amount']);
$vsapp_ppurl = 'https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick-subscriptions';
$vsapp_ppurl .= '&a3='.$vsapp_get_amount[0];
$vsapp_ppurl .= '&p3='.$vsapp_get_amount[1];
$vsapp_ppurl .= '&t3=M';
$vsapp_ppurl .= '&no_note=1';
$vsapp_ppurl .= '&sra=1';
$vsapp_ppurl .= '&src=1';
$vsapp_ppurl .= '&srt='.$vsapp_get_amount[1];
}
else
{
$vsapp_ppurl = 'https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick';
$vsapp_ppurl .= '&amount='.$vbulletin->GPC['amount'];
}



Replace with:


if(strstr($vbulletin->GPC['amount'],'|'))
{
$vsapp_get_amount = explode('|', $vbulletin->GPC['amount']);
$vsapp_ppurl = 'https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick-subscriptions';
$vsapp_ppurl .= '&a3='.$vsapp_get_amount[0];
$vsapp_ppurl .= '&p3='.$vsapp_get_amount[1];
$vsapp_ppurl .= '&t3=M';
$vsapp_ppurl .= '&no_note=1';
$vsapp_ppurl .= '&lc=US';
}
else
{
$vsapp_ppurl = 'https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick';
$vsapp_ppurl .= '&amount='.$vbulletin->GPC['amount'];
$vsapp_ppurl .= '&lc=US';

In this change, I have completely removed the "&sra=1&src=1&srt=1" and added "&lc=US" to the string sent to PayPal. This makes all donations one-time, as it was in vB3, and ensures that all sponsors land on an English PayPal language page.

I find this works better for me and avoids the error for one month subscriptions. I also found that PayPal will show an error for any subscriptions longer than 24 months, so avoid that.

What I would really like, is an option to have this mod make use of the original vBulletin PayPal subscription system. Then a two month subscription could actually add the donor to the specified VIP group for those two months and then automatically remove the subscription to that usergroup, when the subscription expires. I do that manually, but it would be great if that possibility could be added to this mod. Is perhaps Valter, or someone else, up to the challenge?

I have attached my modified .xml file, in case anyone here finds it useful.

Problem: Donations not appearing on view Donations list (admin)

I have been using the popular similar mod "Cyb - PayPal Donate" for years without problems - I am very familiar with that mod and therefore it was natural to upgrade to this one with vb 4.2.5.

Since I wrote the previous post, my forum actually went back online and people have started donating. It was only then that I discovered this issue, that several people have mentioned here, yet I have seen no answers.

As this mod obviously is working for some people, I now desperately need to find an answer to the following issue:

vBulletin 4.2.5
PHP: 5.6.33
MySQL Version: 5.7.20-0ubuntu0.16.04.1

Using slightly modified version of this mod 5.0.3 (see previous post). The modifications only change what is sent to PayPal and fix the span issue, nothing database related.

When a user uses the mod to make a donation, they get to the PayPal page normally and a PM is sent to them, but their donation is not added to the database.
I have checked vsa_ppdonate directly and no entry is added at all. Consequently, I am unable to confirm the donation at all on the View Donations page.

If I use: "Add Donor Manually", the user is added to the database and shown on the list and automatically confirmed. No months are given, but I can correct that with the Edit button.

I even installed a fresh version of the forum and just installed this mod. The same problem occurred.

So Vader, please look into this and resolve it. I can provide you with full access to my test forum to help diagnose this. Plenty of others have complained about the same issue. So let us get to the bottom of this problem and fix it.

When you choose custom it loads the paypal page with a donation of $5.00. Is this only me or is anyone else getting this too?

EDIT: It actually does this for any amount, it still puts it as 5.00, anyone know how to fix this?

I've this problem for years. Has anyone solved?

I just downloaded this to my dev site (vB 4.2.5, PHP 7), and it works exactly as expected with regards to donation amounts.

Having problem installing this. Just keep giving me blank page when I try to import the product.

I admit I haven't looked through all the replies, just the last few pages. Sorry if this is a duplicate.

Is there a way to block this from unregistered users? I'm getting constant donation spam that is fake.

Hello,

ONly user group #6 (admin) can see the payment list. I have a need to allow another user group to view the payments list, in my case User group 18 & 27. I have this:
Usergroups able to view Payment list (comma separated list of IDs) 6,18,27

They see the drop down list to "View Payments" but no payments are listed (I see 4 test payments as an admin)

The attached file 01 shows what user group 18 sees when they click on payment activity and click on "View Payments".

Attached file 02 shows my settings in the Control Panel.

Suggestions?

Can PayPal Donate box add to right sidebar?

The program will NOT PM anyone other than an ADMIN for the notifications. You must be in the ADMIN user group to get the PMs. I have people in other User groups that I'd like to operate and use this program. Making people an admin is NOT an answer. I set it for 3 User Groups (1 admin and 2 other groups, "1 Club Treasurer" and "1 Activity Coord." as such 6,18,28 Nothing via PM notifications, only user group 6 (admins) get the PMs. I've set them as Secondary "Admins" and they see the list of donors but no PM notifications. I put them in User Group 6 (Admin) everything works just fine.

If I don't set them to at least secondary Admins, they can't see the list of donations.

This has got to be a bug in the programming or I have missed a permission somewhere along the line.

Little help please?
