Ok after I added the vbadvanced addon module, it all works fine, however, when you are viewing the forums index and click on the title of one of the latest posts, I get this:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/usmchan/public_html/msg/modules/donate.php:47) in /includes/functions.php on line 2785

I dont seem to have that problem
I have just clicked all over the forum and have no problems that i can see

I think I know why you don't have it and I do. I integrated the forums in with vbadvanced so I can show some modules on those pages as well (see here):

I may just have to remove it from the forums part for now and leave it up on the vbadvanced index page until I can figure out how to fix it.

Nevermind, had to remove it from the forums pages. If you viewed as a guess another error message would come up when trying to click on one of the forums saying cookies alread sent or something to that nature, so I just left it on the vbadvanced index page (like you have it).

1. Why would you want to do that as the idea is for your donors to enter confidential info through the security of the Paypal site. But to answer your question it probably is possible but I would not do that.
2. You are correct, if you go to your paypal account and go through the options for creating a button it gives the code for allowing notes to be added. You would need to edit the template donations_bits and add the following check the info at paypal but I believe thats it.

You need to edit the template without looking at your styles I would try this in the adv_portal_donation template There are two instances of this in the template so you need to change both too

Ok just had someone make a donation, it got added to the goals like it is suppose to (this was also a previous donor that I did manually add) however instead of it showing as a member transaction adding to his amount that he has donated, it added it as a guest transaction. Any ideas? I think also he did it right before I set the IPN notification to yes with the url pointing to my ppverify.php could that be the reason?

Also, how do I add the amount that he just donated to his previous donation so it shows the total amount he has donated now? And how to get those manual donors I added to show the amounts within the goal. For instance I added 3 donors ($10, $10, $50) because they donated before I got this mod installed. But the goal amount received is $0 (well it shows $41 now because of the donation just received) I would like it to add the amounts from the previous donations, but not sure how.

And thank you for your other help. Reason I wanted the amount form on my site is it made it easier for donors to do everything there instead of at paypal (at least that is what they preferred). I think I will play around with that and the comments and see what I can come up with. Even though I have had paypal for years I never really looked at all the options they have.

LMAO I just figured out how to get the prior donations I added to show up! Click View Goals Edit goals and add the amount there! Geeze!

If the same donor makes another donation it will add to his total, so if you did not have the ipn set yes that would do it. Yes that is how you update adding a manual donor must update the goal. I believe paypal has a function to allow use of your own page but there are conditions for using it.

Edited
