Hello people

I am having a problem.

Install the hack is working, but I get the status bar (as was donated to date) on my website.

Someone could say me what is the code to add it manually in forumhome!

Same issue here. No link to view/verify donations in the quick links popup menu after updating to 4.2.

I said it before and I have to say it again - something about this modification is NOT secure. Yet again someone else's paypal address was able to be entered into the settings. I had two donations come in that didn't go to my paypal account and when I logged into my VBulletin Settings someone else's paypal address was in the settings. There's nothing in the VBulletin Control Panel logs for someone logging in and making this change.

Again - there is an active exploit for this modification.

If someone is able to change settings in your AdminCP it has nothing to do with this add-on.

All I know is they are not doing it through the AdminCP. That means they're somehow doing a SQL Injection attack which changes the value in the database. This is the second time the settings ONLY for the PayPal Donate mod have been exploited. No other changes are being made to the forum.

The fraudulent e-mail address that is being added into my settings is: memogl39@googlemail.com - They have stolen over $100 in donations from my site. :(

The real pain, too, is that PayPal turns a complete cold shoulder to the issue. I've tried submitting multiple fraud cases with them over this and it never gets any response. Trying to submit through the Resolution Center yields an error message so I tried through the Contact Us forms they have and those don't get a confirmation e-mail or any type of response.

When I alerted the users that their donations went to a fraudulent user, they submitted cases to PayPal and they told them there was nothing they could do... Absolutely ridiculous.

Is it possible to add a column for IP of the user who donated.
Thank you.

When you use a custom link colour the html is incorrect...

the closing span is incorrect and the colour is used further down the forum.

This is only rendered incorrectly (or pedantically correct) by Internet Exploder. It is ignored by Chrome and Firefox.

Whereabouts would I amend the correct closing span tag please?

First thing, right off the bat, you do not have a closing tag after donate. It should be </span>.

That's not helpful at all to be honest. I said...

To be more precise here is the generated html...


<li id="vsapaypal_donlink"><a href="misc.php?do=donate"><span style="color:yellow;"><b>Donate</b><span></a></li>

Needs to be
<li id="vsapaypal_donlink"><a href="misc.php?do=donate"><span style="color:yellow;"><b>Donate</b></span></a></li>

I know what it needs to be.

The question is, how do you make vbulletin output the correct code?

I'm not home to test this
but open up the .xml file from the archive
then search for
and change it to
all your changing is to re-import the product
hope this helps

Thanks Hippy, that solved it.

I just missed a $200 donation due to this error:

I tried downgrading from 5.0.3 to 5.0 and no joy. Any idea what could be causing this issue?

It occurs only with subscriptions and my payment options are configured with the following options:

]

I'm trying to get the options to charge every month. Formerly I had 5|12 but that only charges $5 per year with the next donation taking place a year from the date. The X|12 method worked in the past but the 5|1 isn't working at all

Can you try if it works with English language?

Maybe some phrases or special characters in the username are breaking links?

if the above is what you have in the donation amount list then you have it wrong this is why you are having problems check the first and last numbers

If someone selects an amount, then goes to paypal, they are recorded as having made a donation, even if they don't finish the transaction at Paypal. It's just a guess really isn't it?

Is their a way to remove the option of the paypal recording what site and user the donation came from? I have many users requesting the donation be anonymous but in the notes field the mod always says donation for site by user

Or maybe the lines I could //comment out to remove it?

do members see the list or just mods and admins?

Donations do not show as complete unless an admin or mod confirms them manually.

This information only shows in PayPal, so unless someone has access to the user's PayPal account they would not know.

The only thing that shows in vBulletin is the username and amount. You can hide the amount so it does not show to users. You can also just not confirm the donation and nothing about the donation will show to users.

I think maybe I explained it wrong. I do not want the mod telling paypal that the donation is from my website. For example, right now the mod tells paypal it received X amount of money from user X from this website. I do not want that info sent to paypal.

For example I receive the email from paypal saying "Donation to Support xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (User: xxxxxxxxxxxx)"

I do not want that info sent to paypal

Is their a way to comment out that part of the mod or would I need to seek another paypal mod?

You're not correct. Do you think I just made it up?

I would say that would be from PayPal not this mod that shows that. From what I remember there is a way to remove or change that in PayPal

any fix for this yet? I have this installed but as you can tell under the navbar there is no donate link http://www.digitalsportscene.net/forum/forum.php

A friend found it in the xml file and was able to remove it for me.


Running on 4.2 now with no problems, Thanks everyone

Hello, my company's email for paypal is German. for example domain.de
But when users want to make a donation from this page in Spanish .. directs them in paypal in German language.

Is there any way to manually insert the language in the configuration, for display in the language selected in the page of paypal.com?

for example: <input type='hidden' name='LC' value='ES'>

thanks

Post fix so others can use

Is there any way to fix this d-m-y issue without removing the locale-setting from the language?

This affekts "very interesting" date an time-format on my forum which can not be fixed by editing the language settings in vB-options.

Edit:

Installed locales are:

The language uses de_DE.utf8 .

Best regards,
Alex

Is there a way that I can change the word "Donate" to "Sponsor" when it shows up in the menu on the forum?

The mod is fully phrased. You can edit all phrases by going to the Phrase Manager.

For this particular one: Search in Phrases for "vb_navigation_link_vsapaypal_donlink_text", then change "Donate" to "Sponsor".

Hi, thanks for a great Mod
I've looked through this thread and can see posts on how to get the donation bar on other pages but not the donate button
Currently, it only appears on my forum pages
Is there any way of getting the donate button on the nav bar of my CMS?

Hope someone can help

Hi, I installed your program works great. But have a question i am using it for my donations
and would like to also use it for my VIP section, since this one take one thing can you load it agian and setup a second one for the VIP.

Thks

I have been using this hack for a little while but paypal seems to be taken offence to the use of the word donate. I have managed to change wording of most phrases however one is left.

In the notification email for merchant instructions i get the following:

Forum donation for member "Bob Smith"

How can I change that phrase to say something like "Forum donation for member xxxx"?

Thanks for the hack.

How can I go about copying the donation list to the page where the users actually goes to submit their donation? Currently they are two different pages. I would like to incorporate that table into the donation page so people can see what others have donated easier than having to click a second link...

I thought to just copy the code from the template vsa_paypal_list, but this just creates a second table that isn't updated when a donation is made. Any ideas or help with this?

installed this new version for 4.2.0 and then donation phrase in nadvar dissapeared. everything is enabled and still not appear, any input? THanks.

Upgraded to vB 4.2 PL2 and the 5.0 version of this mod now is abscent from the main page.
Any idea why its gone? Product/plugins are enabled
