Going on the community chest idea that is a great idea...but it lets you pay from your board instead of redirecting to paypal etc.. then it keeps track of everything donated for an example goto

Raversonly.com -->message boards --> under the winamp logo there is a link for community chest

"Make a Contribution :: Direct Payment -or- Accept Offer | View Contributors | (?)
We currently have $25.00 in our chest"

I would love to see this for vbulletin i know alot of webmaster that would switch to vbulletin if it had this features

That's just like ezboard. That's how they take payments.

it would still be a good hack for vbulletin to do donations like that or atleast for me it would :)

Are yu talking about a Supporting member icon?

Like this

If so it was a hack from here and we modified it for a image and control it in our admin panel

FYI, im making a full fetured hack out of this, ill have it done in a few days.

Here are a current list of fetures:

Personlized Statment on donations.php. - CP powered

Editable donation link from CP

Top 10 Donaters on donations.php (mabey index.php to)

Can edit witch users/usergourps may view donations.php

Total money people have donated to forum on donations.php and index.php.

Stars added to postbit based on money donated

Amount of money user as donated in postbit

Anything else i sould add into this hack before release?

Yes if you can make it paypal compatible so they can donate from the forum by using paypal store function might be a good thing.

Just something to make it where they arn't forwarded to paypal to those paypal pages.

One way of doing this if you are going to make it threw paypal is to use there Instant payment notiviication feature.

This will send back to the script when someone has successfully donated so the script can update the database etc..

Paypal let's you redirect to a thank you page, which you can make as a script.
