Hi, how do I change the date format?

on the forums we use %d %m %y

thanks

Hi, I installed this mod today and the second 'latest contributions' header shadow seems to be breaking the rest of the block.

Please note that I DID check the option to fix broken width, but to no avail.

Thanks to anyone that is able to help me in advance

Does the same thing happen on a unmodified default style?

No, it looks good in the default style

Please note that the sidebar width in itself is not the issue, as I have changed it from the default 270px to an exaggerated 350px - to no avail.

Also note that my theme disables the icons in the block header but I doubt that that is the issue.

The issue MIGHT be, as I said, that the 'shadowing' of the inner 'latest contributions' header being larger than the container it is in ... but I'm no developer so I'd rather not mess around unless instructed to by the professionals :p

thanks for your addon..
i like but my pay day is 20th of every month...
can you add custom day option for goal period?
i know this isnt hard for you...
again this options must change too..Time left to reach goal: ...Days ...Hours ...Minutes ...Seconds

I can look at doing that for version 2. If you want to post a feature request over at DragonByte Tech I can easily keep you up to date of how we are going with it. :)

Matt

i added custom day option...
but my countdown not worked...
worked for month settings..
not for day option...
i can do this from goalmeter-countdown.js file???

You mean you tried to code in the changes? We've got plans in version 2 to expand features around the goals. At the moment I wouldn't suggest creating a custom goal yourself as I've no idea how it will work with the rest of the mod. :)

Matt

i'm working on for a day...
worked custom day option now...
but countdown option not working only...
no problem but this countdown is very nice..:)
countdown working but not true...this is months countdown...
Time left to reach goal: 25 Days 5 Hours 28 Minutes 25 Seconds


thanks again for addon...
no problem countdown...

nobody cares? I read the previous posts that there has been a request like this and you have given a file to upload but I do not see the zip .....

If anyone can help me fix the little bug I'm experiencing (posted and ignored above), i'll see to it that you are rewarded financially - because I know that my personal theme is to blame for the issue, and not DBTech.

Can I be any fairer than that?

Thanks

Unless you want to send me the files you've changed with some notes on what you've changed I can't suggest a solution. We aren't in a position to support custom changes to our files. :)

Sorry for the delay, I'd not been notified of your post. Chris presumably meant the main download file, but since he's not developing the mod I'm not sure if of what change he made.

Unless I've misunderstood what you are wanting, in the DragonByte Tech: vBDonate - General Settings page in the Admin Control Panel you have a setting called: Display Date. There is an option to change around the date format there. Does it do what you want?

Sorry for missing your post. If you post a link to your page I'll see if I can work out what HTML needs to be changed to resolve your issue. :)

Matt

No worries!

The little reward still counts, I've grown to be quite annoyed of the issue and I just need it solved.

I've found some issues that we need to resolve in a future update, but I can provide you a work around for now:

In the template: dbtech_vbdonate_sideblock

Find:
Replace with:

Replace with:
How does that look after changing it (btw, I'd suggest keeping a backup copy of the template just in case you need to revert it)?

Matt

One other fix you can implement (which will be in the next update):

Find:
Replace with:

This is what there is in display data

but has no effect on pm received, This is what contains the pm, just acronyms

It is possible to have an xml with the European date format variations?

%d %m %y %H %M


Thank you very much for your attention

Both worked like a charm! Send me your paypal sir :)

ok, if there are no solutions I have to uninstall the product, sorry because it was done very well, if you decide to use dates in European format I consider

Thanks for now

All part of the service ;)

I will take a look at how we can do this and see if I can get it out in the next minor update. I'll keep you informed. :)

Matt

Thank you for your interest, I do not think it will do just happy me, I look forward to the update ....

I can't seem to get the auto-post new thread to work. I'm using the latest 1.4.7.pl1 release. I've setup my forum to post to and I've having it create a new thread each time. I've done the following:

left poster ID, Thread ID and Post ID blank.
Added poster ID, left thread ID and Post ID blank.

Set contribution thread to yes and sticky thread to yes.

I've checked that post a new thread is yes and enabled is yes as well.

thoughts on what I may be doing wrong? I'm using vb 4.4.2

1.
The bug with the broken links on the /vbdonate.php?do=contribute_thanks page that would lead the contribution-lists is still present in the current version:
2.
Also, in German language, the minimum amount doesn't affect anything (tried both COMMA and DOT as decimal character).

3.
Another topic: When pressing the donate button on "vbdonate.php?do=donate", the subheader text disappears after the click (this is probably a "feature" - suggestion: make it optional OR let it automatically close the tab).

4.
If the (non-admin) user is given priviliges to see the donator list, the link leading to it is not showing up as a tab or menu entry when either on this page vbdonate.php?do=contrib_table OR clicking on the yui-gen-popupmenu (the one that pops up when clicking the title of the donation bar).

Have you ever considered a subscription mode for donations? So that people can set up to pay 5-10 $ a month and become member of a usergroup of some kind?

It's been suggested before. As we start work on v2 we'll look over some of these ideas to see what will work well in the mod. :)

Matt

Hi everyone,

Lite version is available here, vBDonate DragonByte Tech - vBulletin Mods & Addons or here vBulletin.org. The Pro version is available in your Customer Area if you have purchased a license and it is still valid.

Changes To Existing Features:
Change: Extended the countdown options

Matt

Just installed this and so far, it looks very good. One very minor question. How do I change the color of the text in the button on the Navbar? I looked at the style variables but don't see a listing for that button. It is green now and though that does make it stand out, I would like for it to match my other buttons.

IIRC, edit the button title in the Navigation Manager.

That was easy enough. Thanks so much for the quick response.

Not a problem, glad to help. :)

If they had a BTC option this would be a even popular mod indeed.

I have the lite version installed (1.4.8) and set to add users to a usergroup once I've confirmed their donation, but it's not working. Any help resolving this issue would be appreciated.

This is an excellent mod I must say; I a total noob found it simple to install and setup, even if some of the extra features did confuse me.

I do wonder though, can it be setup in multiple currencies? I'd like to accept donations in GBP (Sterling) USD and Euro's to coincide with the ability to have multiple currency balances in paypal it's self. As our teamspeak is paid for in USD, game features in Euro and the Teamspeak in GBP it would also potentially dent the wastage of funds in the exchange rate.

I know it says above "one type only" is there a way around that?

Many thanks.

Sorry for the delay, I've not been getting notifications of the new posts... :(

Can you post up your details about what your settings are? I'll take a look over it then.

This is one of the planned features for version 2... :)

At the moment I'm completing the work on the Alpha/Beta stages of DragonByte Classifieds before properly beginning work on version 2. :)

Matt

Dully noted Matt, thank you. I look forward greatly to version 2.

You broke including personal external scripts.
As soon as your donation bar is on the page, any custom included scripts don't work.
Please fix this ASAP

This happened after the update yesterday? What version were you running before?

How do I go about adding this to a module in Vbadvanced? or is that a Pro option only?

I'll get back to you on that as I've not worked on the vBAdvanced integration up until now.

This sounds more like the custom script has broken vBDonate than the other way around... :D

What issues are you having? If you can provide some links/images/details I'll see what we can do about it. :)

Matt

Thanks for the fast reply. It would be awesome if the contribution bar could be a the top of the screen as well as have a module option that looks exactly like the sidebar you've already created for the forum.
