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

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 the first line of which is a duplicate of the line just above.

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 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 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..
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.

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

Thanks :rolleyes:

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.

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)

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

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

Im glad your Goal Bar still works....mine still aint working :(
Turn it off was the fix :(

Happy New Year

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.

Thank you sir!

for some reason I don't get the menu option on admincp and i allowed all the steps correctly.
How do I add the donations?

try this one

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=503

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.

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.

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!

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

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
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:

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

Find:

Replace with:
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!)

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!

ok,,can someone tell where to donate please, i have paypal,,,,,,im new at this and still in vb diapers,but i belive in supporting,,,im on disability,,,,but i can send a few bucks.
after all,,i need all the help i can get on building my forum,,,,,lol please send me addy to send donation.:ermm:

I have updated post 370. see if this helps at all..

Admincp > vBa CMPS > Add Module > PHP File

Module Title: Donations
Column: left or right
Display Order: Up to you.
Active: yes
File to Include: donate.php
Templates Used: adv_portal_donate, adv_portal_donate_goals, adv_portal_donate_goals_user

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.

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.

the templates are the same..not sure if they are the same as version 3.0.7 just added how to add the module. which i forgot to do. did you downloaded the donate.php that i attach? I am running vb 3.5.3....

Yes, I downloaded and then readded it as per your instructions. It is still a blank page.

what version of vba cmps are you running?

Oh I apologize.. for my ignorance, I thought this was for donations,my bad thank you Trana..

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?

Read this thread:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=864129&postcount=707

Namely the
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 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....
