PayPal Donations For vBulletin 3.5.0

[DS MrSinister]

it works great for me. i just reinstalled it works just fine for me

make sure u place it where u want left or right and the display order

[Xstreamist]

Well I've finally got around to upgrading from 3.5.0 to 3.5.1
I reapplied this hack, tested and all is working as its ment to.

And yes, members are being added automaticly to the database when they donate, and leaving the amount blank lets donors enter their own amount without any issues.

Only change I had to make was to the case of the vB in the XML file, no changes to ppverify.php or anything else.

Hey Bill, can you explain what you mean by "Only change I had to make was to the case of the vB in the XML file"

What changes to what vB are oyu speakin of? I'm very new to vBulletin.. Just migrated over a couple days ago after using phpBB for years... I need the donation thing set up but wanna make sure it's gonna install and run proper on 3.5.1.... can't afford the down time.
Thanks in advance.

[divided_by_fear]

go to /forum/includes/xml and edit cpnav_paypal_donations.xml

Find:

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<navgroups product="vBulletin">

Replace with:

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<navgroups product="vbulletin">

[Xstreamist]

Awesome!! Thanks Fear... So installing and doing this modification will allow this to run with no problems on a 3.5.1 version?
Just wanna triple check because I had my site hacked a few months ago and had to reinstall phpBB and when I did it was a new version and it got all screwy and the site was down for two days because of it.. don't wanna have my members start getting error messages AGAIN so soon heheehe

EDIT: Also, I just noticed it says navgroup products... Do I install this according to the directions given in the zip file or do I need to make this a product, and if so how do I do that....?? thanks in advance.

[mackers8923]

Just upgraded from 3.5.0 to 3.5.1 and I seem to have lost the donate function, should I simply reinstall the hack?

[DS MrSinister]

just upload the donations_install.php and donation_install folder to the admincp. and run the donations_install.php and choose Templates Only Install should do the trick .then delete the files onces your done installing the templates

[Raptor]

if someone donates can it change there usergroup (to give them a few more extras to the forum - ala the subscribe feature currently in the system) ?

[Xstreamist]

Just started installing this on vB 3.5.1.
Got to the Installing Plugins part and got this error:


Fatal error: Call to undefined function: build_datastore() in /home/fsfta/public_html/amarukadmincp/donation_install/donation_install_plugins.php on line 34


It seems to have continued to install the plugins but there's no "Continue Installation" button at the bottom of the page.

Any help for this?
Thanks in advance.

[Xstreamist]

OK, the above problem was solved.. had to set my plugins and hooks to ON.

But now... I got it fully installed but there's no donate button anywhere on the site..???? There isn't even a button to donate on the donate.php page.... Have I forgotten to do something? Did something go wrong?

[Xstreamist]

OK figured out how to get the donate button on the donate page but now I'm stuck trying to get a donate link onto my Nav bar.
I found the area in navbar to add it but I remember someone teling me once there were two places I needed to place the code for it to show up and can't remember now where the second place is.

you only need to add it in 2 places if you're using the dropdown menus. If its just a standard link on the navbar then you're fine without adding anything else in another part I think.

[SCRIPT3R]

i have a member who donated using a different email addy then which is registered on his account. the transaction was accepted and valid, but is showing up as invalid. is there any ways to move this particular transaction into the vailid category?

Update: using phpMyAdmin, i was able to modify the transaction to show as VALID. this automatically moved the transaction into the correct Validated list... i was also able to modify his databse entry to show on the All Donors page, and he now has the Donor icon in his MEMBERINFO.

[Xstreamist]

Got it set up and working on vB 3.5.1.

[bspiller82]

Mine stopped working today. It tossing out this error

That's weird.

nevermind... i figured it out.

[Edrick]

Installed, and running, just oen issue, see the menu suppposed to appear in the admin CP navbar?

Well, It's missing, but everythign else is running just fine.

[Diaego]

try this see if it works..

Still not able to get this working?? It doesn't seem to be parsing the file - it just displays the raw code on the page?? Any ideas?

Known issue caused by the case of one letter being wrong in the xml file.

The case on one of the letters in the XML file is causing the contol panel not to display in the vB admin area.

Fix is very simple see here:

[Billspaintball]

I have only received donations from members so I dont know if there may be any problems with guests or not.

When I get home I will try to do a donate while not logged in and see what happens then.
Finally got around to trying to donate while not logged in.

Works fine for me, records guest donors IP, lists the donation from the guest member in the CP etc.

[Edrick]

great! Thanks a lot, works fine now!

[youradultworld]

Ok I guess i have mental problems or something, but I've been spending a lot of time trying to get this to work.

I uploaded all the files in the same structure, ran the install program, setup the after install options that I was pointed to during the installation. Added donation link to USERCP_SHELL template dropdown.

You click on donate and it brings you to the donations explanation page, but there's no buttons or anything to click on except for the paypal verified star. I see the demo example shows a couple of dropdown menus, mine doesn't show that.

There is nothing regarding donations in admincp to the left. Only in vbulletin options something was added but it doesn't ask anything about a goal amount or donation amount, etc. I have a feeling it has something to do with the .xml file but I copied all the files over and then ran the install file, and of course at one point I edited the adminfunctions_template.php file too.

If someone can answer this I'd appreciate it. I read similar things here but nothing has helped me fix this.

In addition, is there be a way for donators to automatically have their usergroup changed upon successful donation?

you're not seeing a donate button because you haven't created one yet in the AdminCP. you can't do that until you can get the AdminCP Donation options (drop-down menu) to appear. make sure you changed the vBulletin "B" to "b" in the xml file.

In addition, is there be a way for donators to automatically have their usergroup changed upon successful donation?
i do not believe this has been accomplished yet outside of subscriptions.

[youradultworld]

Thanks, I read that before and assumed if it was known it would've been updated in the file itself. :) That's what I get when I ass u me.

It fixed the problem, thanks. :)

[paulmjno]

Would definitely install this, if it was supported. Are there no concise instructions for successfully installing this?

[Diaego]

Having an issue - Have this installed @ http://www.eve-radio.com/ - but as you can see, the donors are not showing up - although the meter is showing that donations are being made - the actual names do not appear on the vBa module.

Any ideas?

on the slim chance that anyone ever chooses to further produce this hack... in the vBa module, if it is set to show donors (top donors for example) AND one of those donors chooses not to display his/her donor status via the UserCP option... the vBa donnor module will not move to the next in line, but should. for example, i choose to display the top 3 donors... but my top donor has chosen not to display his donor status, and as a result only two top donors are displayed.

it appears as though you have a "duplicate entry" in your database tables. try verifying this and if so, just delete one of them.

[Flow Fusion]

answered above...

Ahh thank you.

[Diaego]

do you have the module set to show donors?

This looks like a bug!

I've noticed it seems to be something to do with this option:

Show Top Donors, or Last Donors?
Choose "yes" to use Top Donors on your site donors listing, or "no" to use Last Donors.

When set to yes, the vBa module will show the top 3 donors. When set to "no" it will show nothing at all. Any ideas? I basically want it to show all donors who have helped reach the goal!

Any idea why using the I-Bulletin Blue style (here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=97196) would cause the vBa module to disappear ?

[DS MrSinister]

maybe they are not able or u might need to copy the templates to that skin.

those options are not for the vBa module, they are for the All Donors Page. the vBa module just reads for Top Donors by default. not really a bug, but bad or incomplete coding is all.

[SCRIPT3R]

Thanks for the help, but how do I do that?
you can try to delete the entry via your AdminCP or via your myadminphp from your host server.

if the style in not a child-style of the default style, you may have to make sure it has the vBa Donation templates.

After upgrading to vBulletin 3.5.2 the donate.php now just brings you to a blank page. Check out www.420boards.com to see what I'm talking about.

you'll probably have to reinstall this hack. i haven't looked over the changes slated for the upgrade of 3.5.2 yet, but i would assume template changes are among them. i would advise to patch your forums rather then upgrade at this time if using this hack is important... at least for right now. i'll go over the changes tonight when i have a chance. it might be something really little that needs to be changed.

[yayvb]

Ok, too late for me though. :) I did take a look, I reverted all templates and redid the templates. I think I'll have to uninstall and reinstall since I believe it does edit some files and I don't know which edits to make. I guess everything is stored in the xml file, but I don't know if I could look at it and figure what to do. Thanks for the advice.

On second thought I guess the .xml file doesn't have anything to do with the file edits. :) I did try to run the uninstall but saw this:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: print_form_header() in /blahblahblahblahh/donation_install/donation_uninstall.php on line 14

Just wanted to say awesome hack btw!!!! It does work well. I'll wait for your response once you have a chance to look at this. I won't expect one for atleast a day.

[SCRIPT3R]

Question: OK I added members who have donated in the past it does not show that the helped towards a goal?
if you add donors manually, you'll have to adjust the current donation amount for that specifc goal manually. AdminCP >> PayPal Donations >> View Active Goals >> (select goal) View Goal >> Edit this goal >> and adjust the Total Donations Received For This Goal.

[Dougie Nunny]

you can try to delete the entry via your AdminCP or via your myadminphp from your host server.

Regarding the problem that I was having, I just reinstalled it since it wouldn't uninstall, and it seems to now work fine. Only problem encountered is when I reinstalled it showed no buttons or anything again, I had to setup as if the first install.

^^ Did you lose all the current donors when you reinstalled?

Im having the same problem.

installed works fine but may wanna update the admincp xml file to vbulletin not vBulletin so the cp options appear i know it sounds fussy but i'm guessing its due to unix case sensitivity and since most probs run on unix systems it'd make it nicer.

now all i have todo is get the tards to actually donate/use it :)

[bashy]

Try and see if you can modify your personal CP options

[MissKalunji]

just tested it after reading your first post works fine

try changing that ), to );

Yeah i tried that (just) big problems, had to put it back,
I have just reinstalled it all again, and its appears to be working fine now.

man....i made it through all the problems that everyone else stated. took me awhile to get the admincp working cuz i kept using the wrong xml file on my laptop. well, i ran into the problemm with the user cp not letting anyone click on their options so i decided to uninstall and reinstall. i tried the product package that someone posted up earlier, but it would give an error and just keep going. so i re-uploaded the other package and tried doing the install and now im getting an error there as well. i cant remember if it was the same error i was getting on the package but i think it was.

Hello,

DON'T INSTALL UNSUPPORTED MODS IF YOU CAN'T HANDLE RECIEVING AND WORKING OUT ERRORS. READ THE TOP OF THE PAGE.

THIS IS AN *****UNSUPPORTED MOD*****.

HE DIDN"T ABANDONE IT, HE ISN'T SUPPORTING IT AS IT SAYS AT THE VERY TOP OF THE PAGE!!!!!!

-------------------------------------------------------------------

It drives me nuts to see people talking bad about hacks that are listed as "unsupported". Cloudrunner can post in this thread and still not support the hack and it would be his decision. He added this modification AS "unsupported". Read above the "install/uninstall" text. Those "boxes" depict what this mod will require. The first box dictates if it will be supported or not. His is not checked, that means unsupported. That means you install at your own risk and if it doesn't work don't complain to the coder to fix it because it will remain "unsupported!"

The simple point is this. No one on this site owes anyone any type of support. They do so on their own time. If a modification is listed as "unsupported" when you install it, don't complain that the author abandoned the mod. How can they abandone something listed as "unsupported"?

If you aren't a coder and can't get it to work, then uninstall it and move on. Save your tears because its getting really old listening to a bunch of whiners complain about the lack of support on a modification that is listed as UNSUPPORTED!

in everyone's defense... have you any idea how many of the mods here don't have that supported button checked... even though they're supported - a ton! have you also noted that this particular mod/hack/whatever DOES have a list of
Supporters / CoAuthors
dsboyce8624

SLeeeper
i guess i could also point out again that the majority of coders here DO NOT accurately check any of those side boxes. notice this hack DOES NOT have the Beta button check although it clearly is. to a new vb.org user or someone new to this particular thread/hack... i can see this as very confusing.

I wanted to type something in response to some recent remarks that were made. There are alot of us folks that know just enough about this stuff to be able to make a few edits and get things working. We look to a 'community' like this to be able to make changes to our sites without having to learn all the coding necessary. If we all knew how to do it, sites like this would be non-existent. No offence to this site, but if everyone knew how to do it, they would be doing it, not looking for add-on, hacks, etc.

I think one of the things you see on boards like this is that back in the day, when things were new and exciting, everyone liked helping each other out. Now that things have been around and vbulletin is gaining popularity, you have people that have grown tired of helping others and hang out just to pounce on any opportuntiy to let you know just how much you do not know.

I came over to vbulletin from postnuke for the very reason I am speaking about here. While I know there are lots of good people involved, they just cant help everyone.

Maybe I jumped the gun upgrading to 3.5.1, but it seemed the right thing to do.

I know there are individuals out there that know what I am talking about. I also know there are people that have found out a way to use this 'mod' without any errors. Heck, most of the errors that people post on here are basic php/sql errors that alot of folks on here can pinpoint the cause. It would be nice if anyone out there that has had problems and finally got it working could share their experiences.

sorry for the rant.

[SCRIPT3R]

i agree... and as i've said before, i'm more then willing to help as much as i can. just ask. but may i also suggest reading through the thread a few times to make sure your question hasn't already been answered... even i made that mistake. i've alredy been able to install this on several forums for other people, so it's a very usuable hack. and feel free to check it out fully-functional at my forum.

[Rich]

Hello,

in everyone's defense... have you any idea how many of the mods here don't have that supported button checked... even though they're supported - a ton! have you also noted that this particular mod/hack/whatever DOES have a list of

Supporters / CoAuthors
dsboyce8624

SLeeeper

That means that DURING DEVELOPMENT of this modification, those users helped out with the core code of the modifications and reported errors that had been corrected for the version of VB that the mod was written for.

i guess i could also point out again that the majority of coders here DO NOT accurately check any of those side boxes. notice this hack DOES NOT have the Beta button check although it clearly is. to a new vb.org user or someone new to this particular thread/hack... i can see this as very confusing.

This is NOT confusding. BETA is NOT checked because this modification was not a beta WHEN IT WAS RELEASED! When this modification was released, it worked fine. The only thing you needed to change was the vBulletin to read vbulletin in the xml. When this modification was released, it was for vB Version: 3.5.0 Beta 4 and it wasn't a beta. Everything worked for that version!

It doesn't matter how many coders actually click the supported box. If it is not checked, they have stated that they do not intend on supporting the modification. If they have time, and they do still support the mod, that is a bonus. If life happens, and they walk away from the mod leaving it unsupported, they are not doing anything they didn't already say they would do.

I don't know cloudrunner, so I am not trying to defend his actions on a personal level. I am however pretty tired of coming to vb.org and seeing people talk trash when the version of vb they are running is not the version the mod was written for and the mod is listed as unsupported.

Look under my name, I am a member. I am not a coder on the level that a lot of these people are. I myself have helped in this thread several times. I would love to see this mod updated to 3.5.2 but I am not expecting it to be because it is listed as unsupported.

Helping in the thread as members is great, but leave the trash talk about the author out. Its old and tiring to read people saying someone abandoned a mod when it is clearly listed as unsupported and was written for a version that is several versions old now.

Before anyone comments on a mod, they need to read and see what version of VB the mod is for and if it is listed as supported. If it is for a different version of Vb and is listed as "unsupported", there is nothing to complain about. This mod WASN"T abandoned. It is several versions old and listed as unsupported.

[MissKalunji]

and it doesnt say that its supported

[djsydeburnz]

i would agree with all of that as well. the biggest problem was that everyone kept asking the same question regarding the xml file when vBulletin just needed to be changed to vbulletin.

i just cant seem to find any info on how to fix my user cp page. whenever you click on 'edit options' i get my header, the left navigation and blank page in the main area with this eror on the top:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/httpd/vhosts/syde-sho.com/httpdocs/forums/profile.php(2702) : eval()'d code on line 56

i have even uninstalled the mod, but dont know enough about php to know what this is telling me, or how to fix it.

THe Author replied to that before....search within the thread :p

Yeah, theres a bit of a problem with the auto install routine, it tries to ammend the modifyoptions template for you, but unfortunately, messes it up a bit.

To add it in yourself in modifyoptions template

find:
Code:
<td><label for="cb_invisible"><input type="checkbox" name="options[invisible]" value="1" id="cb_invisible" $checked[invisible] />$vbphrase[use_invisible_mode]</label><input type="hidden" name="set_options[invisible]" value="1" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</fieldset>
</if>


add under:
Code:
<!-- DONATIONS -->
<fieldset class="fieldset">
<legend><label for="cb_showdonor">My Donor Status</label></legend>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="$stylevar[formspacer]" border="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td>Shall We Show Your Donor Status To The Public?</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><label for="cb_showdonor"><input type="checkbox" name="showdonor" value="1" id="cb_showdonor" $checked[showdonor] />Show My Donor Status To The Public</label></td>
</tr>
</table>
</fieldset>
<!-- END DONATIONS -->


That will give users the option back to display their donor status or not.

[djsydeburnz]

i am pretty sure i checked that thread out and it was just needed if the checkbox wasnt showing up. in my case, none of my edit options are showing. so, i figured i woud uninstall, then reinstall. now i am getting an error when installing that seems to have something to do with the the phrases:

[QUOTE]Database error in vBulletin 3.5.1:

Invalid SQL:
UPDATE zvb3_language SET title = title, phrasegroup_ppdonations = 'a:45:{s:19:\"a_special_*****i removed alot of text from the error message to make it fit******$s\";}' WHERE languageid = 1;

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'phrasegroup_ppdonations' in 'field list'
Error Number : 1054
Date : Saturday, December 10th 2005 @ 12:18:58 PM

[djsydeburnz]

well, i found the mistake. apparently in the install, it double up a script. when looking closely at my modify options, under the code i was supposed to fix i saw this:

<if condition="$show['reputationoption']">

<if condition="$show['reputationoption']">
<fieldset class="fieldset">
<legend><label for="cb_showreputation">$vbphrase[show_my_reputation_level]</label></legend>


notice the reputationlevel if statement in there twice. geez. im guessing this is why i was getting errors trying to reinstall as well. two days of grief over something i either did when modifying that file, or it could have happened on the install.

\tips hat to misskalunji

maybe i should be asking you my questions regarding the profile page customization?

[djsydeburnz]

one last question. i tried using that fix for the postbit / postbit_legacy, but forums dont show the 'donor' button to siginify that particular member did donate. was that fix for this particular issue? or just for layout issues? ive put this code in several places tyring to get it to display the donor status of members with no luck:

<!-- DONATIONS -->
<if condition="$post['donor'] == '1'"><if condition="$post['showdonor'] == '1'"><div><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/donate.php"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/donate_donor.gif" border="0"></a></div></if></if>
<!-- END DONATIONS -->

last question as its the only thing left for me to fix

[|oR|Greg]

When I click on a blank donate button, I get the error from Paypal stating "Please enter an amount greater than zero." If I assign the button a dollar amount, it works fine.... anyone?

[SCRIPT3R]

That means that DURING DEVELOPMENT of this modification, those users helped out with the core code of the modifications and reported errors that had been corrected for the version of VB that the mod was written for.

and where do newbies find such information that THAT is in fact what it means? i already know this, but to a lot of newbies, this little bit of information could help as it's not easily found within this forum.

This is NOT confusding. BETA is NOT checked because this modification was not a beta WHEN IT WAS RELEASED! When this modification was released, it worked fine. The only thing you needed to change was the vBulletin to read vbulletin in the xml. When this modification was released, it was for vB Version: 3.5.0 Beta 4 and it wasn't a beta. Everything worked for that version!
first of all, it DID NOT work "fine" for 3.5.0 Beta 4 as you claim. there were some of the same errors people are seeing now. if this is not confusing as you say, then why are there soo many post questing soo many things about this hack? everything about this particular hack is confusing to soo many people... hence all the posting - duh.

It doesn't matter how many coders actually click the supported box. If it is not checked, they have stated that they do not intend on supporting the modification. If they have time, and they do still support the mod, that is a bonus. If life happens, and they walk away from the mod leaving it unsupported, they are not doing anything they didn't already say they would do.
as i've already said... i know this, but many newbies do not as they can jump from thread to thread and get help from the coders instantly although soo many hacks are ticked as unsupported. again, another confusing aspect not made clear here.

I don't know cloudrunner, so I am not trying to defend his actions on a personal level. I am however pretty tired of coming to vb.org and seeing people talk trash when the version of vb they are running is not the version the mod was written for and the mod is listed as unsupported.

so why do you still come into this thread if it bothers you soo much? i think by now it's obvious that this hack is no longer in development and unsupported as you've said, so no reason to come back and check for updates or to read all the comments from other users... right? did you ever hear the statement about the guy that went to the doctor and told the doctor that his arm hurt when he moved it? the doctor replied to the man - don't move your arm then. :)

Look under my name, I am a member. I am not a coder on the level that a lot of these people are. I myself have helped in this thread several times. I would love to see this mod updated to 3.5.2 but I am not expecting it to be because it is listed as unsupported.

i agree... to a point. developing a product for a beta release of anything is incomplete no matter what anyone thinks IMO! sure it may work for a beta release, but you have clear advanced knowledge that said product WILL eventually go GOLD and your hack may then become obsolete... perhaps within hours or even minutes until a next beta release or GOLD release. if you develop with the intention to only develop for BETA releases, this should also be stated... which clearly isn't in this case.

Hello,

and where do newbies find such information that THAT is in fact what it means? i already know this, but to a lot of newbies, this little bit of information could help as it's not easily found within this forum.

I guess the first post isn't easy enough to read? This is from the release post. The one at the top of every page:

Special Thanks


Special Thanks goes to the following people, without their support, this would never have happened:

dsboyce8624
guvner
SLeeeper
And all of the Alpha Testers that helped out with this Hack!

I couldn't have done it without you all, Thank you!

That seems pretty clear to me.

first of all, it DID NOT work "fine" for 3.5.0 Beta 4 as you claim. there were some of the same errors people are seeing now. if this is not confusing as you say, then why are there soo many post questing soo many things about this hack? everything about this particular hack is confusing to soo many people... hence all the posting - duh.

The only consistent error was the "capital B in vbulletin". That has been addressed several times throughout this thread. I myself have addressed that several times.

as i've already said... i know this, but many newbies do not as they can jump from thread to thread and get help from the coders instantly although soo many hacks are ticked as unsupported. again, another confusing aspect not made clear here.

What part of "If the check box beside the Supported box at the top is not marked, it isn't supported" is not clear? When you look at a modification and see the checkbox cleared beside that, you assume there is NO support. If you happen to get support, then you lucked out. That is not confusing. That is as clear as it gets bro.

so why do you still come into this thread if it bothers you soo much? i think by now it's obvious that this hack is no longer in development and unsupported as you've said, so no reason to come back and check for updates or to read all the comments from other users... right? did you ever hear the statement about the guy that went to the doctor and told the doctor that his arm hurt when he moved it? the doctor replied to the man - don't move your arm then.

I visit this thread to see if a MEMBER posts THEIR working version that they may have worked out. Just because a modification isn't supported doesn't mean that another coder won't stop in and add a file that they corrected on THEIR version which is 3.5.2 compatible. ;) So I am not visiting this thread to see what BS is spewing from someones mouth, I am hoping someone has a file correction for the ppverify.

i agree that the trash talking should be left out... but as i've pointed out several times already, everything about this hack is confusing on soo many levels.

If the concept of those boxes at the top are so confusing to people, they shouldn't be installing this modification in the first place as they are certainly going to get lost. Like I said, I am not a coder like these people are and I understand clearly that if it shows "unsupported", I can not expect support. I can post questions hoping someone else has the answer, but I do not anticipate support. Its seems very clear to me. I don't understand how that confuses anyone though.

i agree... to a point. developing a product for a beta release of anything is incomplete no matter what anyone thinks IMO! sure it may work for a beta release, but you have clear advanced knowledge that said product WILL eventually go GOLD and your hack may then become obsolete... perhaps within hours or even minutes until a next beta release or GOLD release. if you develop with the intention to only develop for BETA releases, this should also be stated... which clearly isn't in this case.

Show me where it says that a mod release for a version of VB will be upgraded when the version is upgraded? There is no advanced knowledge of this. In fact, there are a ton of mods that haven't been ported over to 3.5.0 yet and some never will. They are not obligated to upgrade any script.

You need to realize that these modifications are added to this site free of charge. the coder is not getting paid. If they are running a specific version of vb and they create a mod for their site and release it as UNSUPPORTED, they are doing all of us a favor in releasing it. They don't owe any of us a damn thing and they certainly are not obligated to upgrade the script because a bunch of non coders want them to. Do you follow me?

Everyone that visits this site that isn't a coder needs to step back and realize that THEY need this site. The coders don't need this site. lol They can just code up their own modifications. Anything you get off of vb.org is a gift and some gratitude should be displayed to the coders for releasing it in the first place.

My perception of those of you on the site that talk trash about modifications not working and how this was expected and that was expected is that you have no concept of how this site works.

Everyone DONATING their mods are utilizing THEIR time and efforts to help improve this community and everyone elses individual communities. They owe none of us anything and yet a handful of you seem to think they do indeed owe you something.

Those of you that are epecting things should take some initiative and learn to code. Some PHP and mysql knowledge will get you started. Once you know how to code, spend hours and hours writing up modifications for vb.org and then list them.

Now that they are up, wait 2-3 weeks and watch the ungrateful and inconsiderate non coders start making rude and disrespectful comments about your modifications because they can't get it to work. (Even though it works on your site and several other sites.) Let me know exactly how you feel about releasing your mods after a bunch of clowns start ripping into you.

Maybe then the concept of gratitude will be understood.

[SCRIPT3R]

I guess the first post isn't easy enough to read? This is from the release post. The one at the top of every page:

That seems pretty clear to me.

that's EXACTLY my point... it clearly refers to additonal Supporters. i personally know that he's just referring to people who've helped get this hack going, but others might assume (and obviously they have) that there are actual "supporters" for this hack although the Support Box is not checked. again, as stated previously numerous times... a gross inconsistency among this forum.

The only consistent error was the "capital B in vbulletin". That has been addressed several times throughout this thread. I myself have addressed that several times.

so have i... and there are more "consistent" errors since the beta release. (ppverify, B in XML, sandbox config, template edit double-ups, etc.)

What part of "If the check box beside the Supported box at the top is not marked, it isn't supported" is not clear? When you look at a modification and see the checkbox cleared beside that, you assume there is NO support. If you happen to get support, then you lucked out. That is not confusing. That is as clear as it gets bro.

it's clear to me... but obviously not the majority of users who've complained in this thread. proof is in the pudding. i couldn't agree with you more, but this thread speaks for itself, don't ya think?

I visit this thread to see if a MEMBER posts THEIR working version that they may have worked out. Just because a modification isn't supported doesn't mean that another coder won't stop in and add a file that they corrected on THEIR version which is 3.5.2 compatible. ;) So I am not visiting this thread to see what BS is spewing from someones mouth, I am hoping someone has a file correction for the ppverify.

i agree.

Show me where it says that a mod release for a version of VB will be upgraded when the version is upgraded? There is no advanced knowledge of this.

so you don't think there is advance knowledge that when vB releases a BETA version that they're going to release a GOLD version sooner or later?!?! i was talking about vB... not the hacks found here.

In fact, there are a ton of mods that haven't been ported over to 3.5.0 yet and some never will. They are not obligated to upgrade any script.

never said otherwise.

You need to realize that these modifications are added to this site free of charge. the coder is not getting paid.

They don't owe any of us a damn thing and they certainly are not obligated to upgrade the script because a bunch of non coders want them to. Do you follow me?

of course i do... when did i ever say otherwise?

Everyone that visits this site that isn't a coder needs to step back and realize that THEY need this site. The coders don't need this site. lol They can just code up their own modifications.

i tried to go to your site to get a look at the code, but it doesn't load. i'll assume you took it offline maybe? i'm not sure what you're screenshot it showing in relation to this hack... and are those multiple windows a global problem or just donation-related pages?

one last question. i tried using that fix for the postbit / postbit_legacy, but forums dont show the 'donor' button to siginify that particular member did donate. was that fix for this particular issue? or just for layout issues? ive put this code in several places tyring to get it to display the donor status of members with no luck:



last question as its the only thing left for me to fix
in postbit find:
<if condition="$show['reputation']"><if condition="$show['reppower']">$vbphrase[reppower]: $post[reppower] </if><div>$post[reputationdisplay]</div></if>
<div>$post[icqicon] $post[aimicon] $post[msnicon] $post[yahooicon] $post[skypeicon]</div>
after, add in:
<!-- DONATIONS -->
<if condition="$post['donor'] == '1'"><if condition="$post['showdonor'] == '1'"><div><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/donate.php"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/donate_donor.gif" border="0"></a></div></if></if>

so it appears as:

<div>$post[icqicon] $post[aimicon] $post[msnicon] $post[yahooicon] $post[skypeicon]</div>

that will bring up the $Donor icon in your users posts.

HA! I was about to post the first fix I ever found on my own... damn you all!!!

Well... I was having the edit options issue as well, I knew it had to be a template so I went searching found that doubled up piece of code and since there was no matching 'end if' statement... took it out and viola!!!

You can still use the auto install, but once you're all done, go into the ModifyOptions template and search for:

<!-- END DONATIONS -->

Below is should be something like this:



<if condition="$show['reputationoption']">

<if condition="$show['reputationoption']">



Delete the first:

<if condition="$show['reputationoption']">

And you should be all set.

I didn't see anyone already asking this, but is there any way to make it so that when a donation comes back successful, the donator (if a member) gets their membership status upgraded?

In other words a successful paypal transaction will move them from one usergroup to another? I offer larger avatars, message storage, custom title, etc. to donators, but I'd rather have it all happen automatically.

yes it's possible... very much similar to how subscriptions work and jumping users between usergroups. i've no clue how to write that script though.

when you say you "looked at it" ... what was the "it" you were referring to? if you're referring to the db, which tables did you look at? as far as i know, there is no code to check for errors. you may want to uninstall and reinstall again... some users report that doing such does help.

[gator777]

I got everything thing working except for a few minor things. Here are the results with a few observations added...

If someone sends an Echeck, it loads it to "Pending Transactions" and does not complete the transaction. I am still waiting for the transaction to complete to see if it posts the name to the list of donors. I will add it manually if it doesn't, but I will have to wait and see.

I received feedback from one of my users who said he got a "Thank you for your donation of $0.00", which as you can see it did not show the correct donation amount. The good news is that it successfully processed the transaction and posted his name with the correct amount in the donors list. As a workaround, I changed the vbphrase and removed the "{1}" so as not to confuse the donor with the $0.00 dollar amount. Does anyone know why this is showing a zero "0" dollar amount vs. the correct amount donated when redirected back to the site?

When using the "Paypal Sandbox", I was able to see the correct amount donated when returned back to the site (unlike the "live" response), but it placed the amount in "Pending transactions" and did not complete. I guess it is designed to this though...

I'm sure there is a simple fix for the "$0.00" issue, but I am not a coder and will not try to guess.

Didn't want to bore anyone with my results, but I thought it might help someone. :)

Everything looks to be in place except the left menu for Paypal Donations in the admincp is missing, any ideas why?

thanks. ill try reinstalling it. (yes i was looking at the tables. no dublicates and thinks looked normal)

Go into the AdminCP and under the PayPal Options menu select the first choice. Donation Settings. You can make those changes right there.

When I go into User Options I get this error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /homepages/19/d139929218/htdocs/holocron/profile.php(2704) : eval()'d code on line 64

and nothing shows in the options

I haven't really went into my user options in some time, but I haven't installed a hack that adds anything there I don't believe. I know that this hack adds the option to hide your donation in the user options. Anyone had this issue?

[yayvb]

Apparently on the donations page it shows that I collected a total of $20 and a total of $19.12 (I think the amount after paypals decuctions)..

Shouldn't they show the same amount or something?

I went and installed that module via the CMPS admin console, but once the module is active I get the dreaded "white page of death" meaning that CMPS did not like the module. I opened the donate.php file and saw that it is still listed as the 3.0.7 version. Is this what I should be using for 3.5.1 and CMPS 2?

Thanks again for the help.

look at this one and see if alll the templates match up..

i also attach the module php file to that post.

I dont think that file is not meant for direct link. i think its only use when someone donates. when u goto that file with your browser makes a Invalid transaction.

look at your Donations Summary Page in your admincp..

Yes this is already attached...
Anything else it could be please?

i'm not sure. you could check your image processing library and verify your correct GD version maybe. if you want me to look at your settings, send me the login into via PM and i'll take a look.

DS,

I cut and pasted all of templates you provided and saved a new copy of the donate.php module. As soon as I enable this module my entire page goes blank.

Do you have any idea what else I can check? This module worked fine before I upgraded to 3.5.1.

Thanks!

Hi peeps

GearTripper has been ver thorough but cannot find anything wrong
Does anyone else have any suggestions please?

PS if i could give a rep point i would have done for GearTripper, thanks again for your time :)

The edit options problem (at least in my case) seemed to be that it added this bit to the modifyoptions template double.


<!-- DONATIONS -->
<fieldset class="fieldset">
<legend><label for="cb_showdonor">My Donor Status</label></legend>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="$stylevar[formspacer]" border="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td>Shall We Show Your Donor Status To The Public?</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><label for="cb_showdonor"><input type="checkbox" name="showdonor" value="1" id="cb_showdonor" $checked[showdonor] />Show My Donor Status To The Public</label></td>
</tr>
</table>
</fieldset>
<!-- END DONATIONS -->

And it added an extra of this line
<if condition="$show['reputationoption']"> above it.

[bashy]

Yep they were there, didnt look hard enough...

Bashy

[petertdavis]

Maybe that's your problem then, it should be in there.

[mholtum]

One must first create a donate goal and / or button. This is done from the AdminCP. As long as you have installed the XML file in the ./includes/xml directory, then you simply need to go and add a goal and / or button. using the links on the left nav for the donations group.

I suggest doing a goal first, this way you can assign a button to that specific goal and your system will incrementally (with each donation) track your goal status.

I am working on a basic instructions for use at the moment...but screen grabs are slightly time intesive. I'm hoping to have it available today.

Everything is fine and installed easy. But I still can't add goals.. I had this working perfectly in 3.0.7 but I cant figure this out.,

[DS MrSinister]

you need to edit you cpnav_paypal_donations in the includes/xml folder

just replace it with this code

I finally got MrSinister's module working on my cmps page. His module is posted at https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=835267&postcount=498

After uploading the module through the CMPS admin page, I could never get the thing to display. I finally got it to work by:

cVa CMPS -> Edit Pages -> Click 'Go' for the home page -> make sure that Modules Enabled is checked.

This drove me crazy for about a day until I happened upon that setting.

Nice forum site, BTW, MrSinister. One of the nicest looking designs I've seen.

This run ok on 3.5.2 ? anything differently needs to be done?

Just asking as the last update was in July 2005 .. many changes since then in the vbull version ..

[Trickle]

Just want to say a BIG FAT THANK YOU to Cloudrunner for coming up with this mod and to DS MrSinister for tackling the CMPS. I am not a coder by far and I am very new to all of this. All the answers I found ARE posted in this thread and have been asked and answered numerous times. I had to force myself to go through all 45 pages and read instead of taking the easy way out and just asking the same ol questions. I feel proud not asking for gimmes and getting this to work!!!

Thanks Guys/Gals

[DS MrSinister]

best thing to do is search first ask l8r.. lmao

your welcome..

simple yes or no would have been ok :) ...

Got it up and running on 3.5.2 .. some small problems, but changing the vBulletin to vbulletin was the fix.

Thanks for the great hack ..

you need to edit cpnav_paypal_donations.xml open it in notepad

change B to b save ans reupload the file

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=855144&postcount=664

[xOzzie]

I get the same 4 templates that are out of date. I've just ignored them although I'm not sure that's the right thing to do but the mod is working fine (except the ppverify.php error which I haven't had time to reread the posts on this thread about this yet).

To get the Paypal option in the Admincp, you need to change the case of the 'vBulletin' in the 2nd line of cpnav_paypal_donations.xml to 'vbulletin'. Upload the changed file and you'll see the Paypal Donations option in the Admincp.

/edit - sorry, was typing the same time MrSinister was.

Thanks I read right past it last night. :o

I have the Menu but when I try to add a new buttom the screen is just blank when i click the Add new button. I was able to add a new goal but not able to add button.

[Ncturnal]

great tool, but just have few comments

Edit template automatically is NOT a good idea. I have some customized templates in a style, and some child styles use those customized templates.

automatic template modification just put some additional templates to my child style, all parent customized are gone. I had to go back and delete all the additoinal templates for my child styles.

Agreed

[Ncturnal]

Also there are now 4 out of date templates.

Running Default vB Style on test board with no hacks version 3.5.2

Anyone have any ideas on the templates? I'd rather revert them and make the necessary changes manually. Any help would be much appreciated.

[xOzzie]

I don't have any "real" solutions but I did notice that after I installed a new skin, I now only have two templates (MEMBERINFO and modifyoptions) showing as needing modifications rather than the four that Ncturnal lists.

I don't mind making the mod if I knew what changes needed to be made.

The only changes between the MEMBERINFO template was the addition of<td class="smallfont" valign="bottom" align="$stylevar[right]">
<!-- DONATIONS -->
<if condition="$userinfo['donor'] == '1'"><if condition="$userinfo['showdonor'] == '1'"><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/donate.php"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/donate_donor.gif" border="0"></a></if></if>
<!-- END DONATIONS -->
the first line of which is a duplicate of the line just above.

[xOzzie]

Hey, I figured it out, at least for the MEMBERINFO and modifyoptions templates.

Go into the Find Updated Templates section under Style & Templates in admincp.

Find<td class="smallfont" valign="bottom" align="$stylevar[right]"> there will be a second identical line just below it, followed by the DONATIONS section.

Just delete one of the duplicate lines. MEMBERINFO no longer is showing as needing modification. :)

For the modifyoptions template there is also a duplicate line.
Find<if condition="$show['reputationoption']"> and delete the duplicate.

/edit - the other two templates appear unchanged. I just reverted them without any problems thus far. ;)

I've got it all working , with the exception of getting that DONOR picture to show up for the users that have donated. Highly annoying...I've made all the edits, it's just not working. Not a deal breaker, but certainly annoying.

make sure your MEMBERINFO template has the following..
<!-- DONATIONS -->
<if condition="$userinfo['donor'] == '1'"><if condition="$userinfo['showdonor'] == '1'"><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/donate.php"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/donate_donor.gif" border="0"></a></if></if>

then make sure you actually uploaded the GIF image to the correct directory.

Yes on both counts but no go. Not a deal breaker, but frustrating.

[jellybaby]

Ive just upgraded to 3.5.2 and now have a white screen does anyone know whats causing this please?

Thanks :rolleyes:

[grrrlromeo]

I would prefer that the specific amount a donor has donated not be visible while still showing who has donated. Is this possible? I just want to give people who have donated equal props regardless of how much they donate.

[Mith]

Yes on both counts but no go. Not a deal breaker, but frustrating.

iirc,

there are 2 fields in sql that you will probably need to change manually if you want to show members

The table is vb3_users (vb3 is what my prefix is, yours may be different)

find:

donor
showdonor

for all the people that have donated, set those two fields to 1

(donor is if the person is a donor, showdonor is relative to the checkbox in the users cp)


Ive just upgraded to 3.5.2 and now have a white screen does anyone know whats causing this please?

re-install the templates, that fixes the white screens for me after upgrades.

A useful tip for anyone that has a lot of donors etc set up, but wants to uninstall / reinstall without losing all their info, backup the following tables in myphpadmin or whatever system you use:
vb3_donation_buttons
vb3_donation_currency_exchange
vb3_donation_donors
vb3_donation_goals
vb3_donation_paypalipn
when you do a reinstall, just load the saved sql back up and all your buttons, donors etc are all back as they were ( i can't be held responsible if you don't do this correctly!)

For peoples general info, I use the plugin version of donations, which i find is a lot better when upgrading etc. (I think it can be found around page 10 of this thread)
I have no problems with it on Vb 3.5.2

Hope that helps some folks

[mackers8923]

What do I need to edit to have these amounts both showing the same?

I'm not sure if it's been coverd yet in this thread, but some of my members are questioning why they should have to pay tax if they're in the same state? Are donations taxable?

[mholtum]

I'm not sure if it's been coverd yet in this thread, but some of my members are questioning why they should have to pay tax if they're in the same state? Are donations taxable?

Depends on the state. Some states tax everything. Some states dont tax "service".

Plus, since they are in the same state they would have to pay tax. If they lived out of state then they might not.

I've seen this question asked 2 or 3 times in this thread, but no one has really come up with a solution. It would be nice to upgrade the donor's usergroup after they donate, like to a special membership level, ie more privileges, etc. Can someone figure this out? Thanks.

[Synth]

That would be nice, you could just add them to a speacial group yourself

While I agree that would be nice, it's very unlikely to happen as there is no support for this hack. I'm sure it's feasible to do because the built-in subscription function in vBulletin will do it.

[Trana]

If this is an upgrade, why did it automatically delete all of my previous donor records (from 3.0.7).

Also, can anyone suggest what I should be checking if my CMPS module gives me a blank page whenever it is enabled?

Thanks!

[Mith]

It is one of the problems with the upgrade script, it actually does uninstall the tables you need.... ask the ever silent cloudrunner why it does that by design, we are still hoping there is some good coder out there that can update a few probs with the way he has done things.

Of course, you backed up your database before you upgraded... so its easy to restore your users goals and buttons to their former glory:

Read this thread which tells you which tables you need to restore:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=861377&postcount=689 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=861377&postcount=689)

If you didn't backup your DB before your upgrade, well your a bit up the creek.

If you are getting a "white page" when you click on your donations link
Reinstall the templates (there is an option to reinstall templates, if you run the install script iirc)

The VBa CMPS module was only for 3.07. Cloudrunner did not include a new updated version for this newer version.

Another member however got the functionality to work,

it can be found here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=816754&postcount=370 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=816754&postcount=370)
You may need to go a bit back and forward from post #370, as i remember there were a couple of problems but all fixed around there.


the instructions for adding links to donations can be found here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=806309&postcount=310 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=806309&postcount=310)


The admincp not showing up:
Head to /forum/includes/xml and edit cpnav_paypal_donations.xml

Find:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?><navgroups product="vBulletin">


Replace with:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?><navgroups product="vbulletin">


For anyone installing for first time, I would reccomend installing the Plugin version of this hack, and doing the template changes manually.
(its much safer this way!)

[Trana]

Thanks for the response!

OK, so I have a backup of the databases, I can restore them (I'm actually doing this on a test BB to work out all my 3.0.7-3.5.1 problems).

I am still having a problem with the CMPS module. I checked the settings, and repasted the templates as per post #370, but every time I enable the module I only get a blank screen. As an FYI, when I load donate.php I do get the script to run, so I know the script itself is not the problem, it just seems like CMPS is screwed up.

This is my first non-standard module for CMPS after upgrading to 3.5. Does anyone have any suggestions for what I should check? I have no idea how to troubleshoot CMPS module problems.

Thanks!

DS,

Thanks for the help.

Did you change the templates at all in your recent revision? I didn't compare them with the previous version.

I deleted the donate module and readded it per your instructions and the page is still coming up blank.

What a PITA. This worked fine under 3.0.7 and it is the only thing I have not gotten to work with 3.5.1.

Thanks again.

[Trana]

Cork,

Send a donation to whoever helps you if you get stuck. Do not donate to the script author as he is not supporting it and has left many bugs unresolved.

So can I just confirm, I just upgraded to the latest forum version and now this isnt working for me. In fact when I do donate.php its also not working either. What in the recent upgrade will have caused this and what can I do to get donate.php to work again?

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=864129&postcount=707 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=864129&postcount=707)

Namely the
If you are getting a "white page" when you click on your donations link
Reinstall the templates (there is an option to reinstall templates, if you run the install script iirc)
this however may mess up the look of some of the templates, beacause it can double up some of the changes made in the templates... namely memberinfo template, and some double up of certain icons (like the postbit donator icon in some cases)

I have just upgraded to VB 3.5.3 and this is the first time I have not had to make any changes to my donations, because I am using theplugin version (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=762511&postcount=119)as linked in my post above...
Basically the plugin version has a few of the minor bugs removed... (the vBulletin-vbulletin iirc)
It performs all the install steps for you.
the only thing you need to do yourself is the manual template changes

If you plan on using that version, you need to completely uninstall the original version and any associated template changes AND backup the correct fields from your SQL before you import the new product.

It may help for an admin to create a new thread with the plugin version on it... we can then help out there rather than getting all muddled up here.

Hope this helps some of you....

in MEMBERINFO template

find

add below


<!-- DONATIONS -->
<if condition="$userinfo['donor'] == '1'"><if condition="$userinfo['showdonor'] == '1'"><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/donate.php"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/donate_donor.gif" border="0"></a></if></if>
<!-- END DONATIONS -->


see if this works

[docvader]

That's what I"m using DS. The postbit works great, the memberinfo doesn't.

This is not the first time I've had code that works in the postbit, and does NOT work in the memberinfo. Check out http://russbo.org/vb/member.php?u=1, and you'll see that my Activity hack also doesn't show in memberinfo, but works superbly in the postbit.

Frankly, I'm puzzled by it. It has to be something really simple....

[DS MrSinister]

thats odd it works here.
maybe u need to place it else where.

also u have a error on your member page..

[Darth`]

how do i get cURL to work/ how do i install it/ whatever?
on my host when doing the test communication bit through the admincp, curl fails but the streams bit passes. :S

[docvader]

DS, the error is from the "Friends" hack, not sure how to get rid of it.

Why would "placing it elsewhere" make a difference? Curious, does the placement of this code "hide it"? Is that why the activity hack doesn't show everything too? Didn't think that would make a difference, but, I'm far from being a coder.

[DS MrSinister]

For the activity hack all the images are not uploaded in that folder. make sure u have the images upload for each skin that you have on your site.

[docvader]

Well, not exactly. But I appreciate your input. The Activity hack does calculations before calling for an image; it calls for that image in the postbits, but doesn't in the memberinfo. Check this out:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=866156&postcount=184

I really don't know why these things work in the postbit, but don't necessarly work in the memberinfo. Something is not being called to, somewhere.
Thanks

Hi,

When I add a donor (whether guest or member), it does not update the image goal bar. Does anyone know how to fix that?

[Trana]

DS,

I am running CMPS 2.0.0 with 3.5.1. I am testing the donations module after upgrading from 3.0.7 (CMPS 1). After the upgrade everything works except when I enable the donations module. Also, the main donation page (donate.php) works fine. The only other custom module that I have added is the random photopost (VBA Gallery) image on the homepage. I do not currently have that module running, but I was able to get it running on a test upgrade I did recently, so I am pretty sure my CMPS build is "ok".

Got any ideas what I can do to troubleshoot this? It is a bit of a pain since the big white page gives no indication of an error. One other thing worth mentioning is that when I refresh the empty white page, my browser crashes.

Thanks!

try deleteing the donate.php file that lies in modules folder and reuploaded. if that dont work try this admincp -> vba cmps -> edit pages what ever your default page is edit that one and see if that donate module is check. also make sure its a PHP File type when you add the module..


@DarKNull and Devil Woman

The admincp not showing up:
Head to /forum/includes/xml and edit cpnav_paypal_donations.xml

Find:



<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?><navgroups product="vBulletin">



Replace with:

DS,

I followed your instructions and it still wasn't working. I tried turning on Clean File Output and mysteriously it started showing up! I have no idea why this affects it since the output is already cmps-php enabled. Thanks for your help!

Now I need to reimport my tables as per the instructions because this lovely "upgrade" script has deleted all my data!

Thanks again.

just erase the install code from the xml so it wont reinstall the tables

[Trana]

Miss,

Is there a post which shows how to do this?

[Trana]

What template is the CMPS module using? I got it to appear, but all I see is the title and the expand button. I imported my old tables and enabled a few users records for donor/showdonor, but nothing is showing up in my CMPS module. I have added a test string to all the adv_donate modules and nothing is showing up, I can't seem to find which one it is using.

Thanks!

[DS MrSinister]

DS,

That's what I've got in all three templates under "Custom Templates", but it only shows the header. I checked my forum/donate.php and it is listing the donors properly.

[DS MrSinister]

are u using these 3 templates

adv_portal_donate, adv_portal_donate_goals, adv_portal_donate_goals_user

[DS MrSinister]

it will only show a goal if you have one added. is this on your live site if so whats the url.

[Trana]

I figured it out!

(actually it was Brian at VBA, thanks Brian!)

At the end of the donate.php file (the CMPS module), there is one extra space, after the closing ?>

I'm guessing that this will affect IIS servers more than Apache.

[DS MrSinister]

your welcome i am glad you got it to work now..

[16ggst]

sorry newbie question.. after 40 pages i couldnt search anymore :squareeyed: ..

everything appears to be working fine.. just when you click on my pay now button it sends everyone to the sandbox instead of a checkout form...

im sure its something little but help would be appreciated..

thanks

[DS MrSinister]

Interesting!

(btw, I like your avatar :p).

Anyway; when I upgrade my vBboard I guess I will lose the changes the installer made. Can I simply de-install, and then re-install the hack without losing al my settings? (with other words; are they stored in the dB?). Or can I make a backup of them?

Can't see a donation button at the previewforums?)
