Im verified and this is the message I just got from the donation:

"The Transaction Number is: .

It is suggested that you investigate this transaction to determine if it was incorrectly labeled as invalid, or if it was an attempt at a false transaction."

I agree. Make sure you have http://www.yourdomain.com/pathtoforums/ppverify.php entered in as your IPN address at PayPal's website as well as that same path in your ACP >> Donate Settings. You also need to make sure that http://www.yourdomain.com/pathtoforums/donate.php is entered correctly. It sounds like one of those three things isn't configured correctly if you aren't getting a response back from paypal when you receive payment. It isn't a delayed thing, it notifies you immediately when you receive payment.

Hi,

I've installed this hack, and it looks great <G>

However, due to protection issues on our server (anti-DDos mitigation system), PayPal don't seem to be able to request our ppverify.php file for some reason :/

As a fix.. I've moved the validation code from ppverify.php, into a do_verify() routine in donate.php (inside the "thankyou" part).

Basically, it seems to be working ok... as the transID is being passed back. I added this debugging;

echo "SELECT txn_id FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."donation_paypalipn WHERE txn_id = '".$txn_id."'";

..which gives;

SELECT txn_id FROM donation_paypalipn WHERE txn_id = '62X17512XV724171B'
Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /var/home/andy/domain.co.uk/www/donate.php on line 344

Line 344, is this;

$query = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT txn_id FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."donation_paypalipn WHERE txn_id = '".$txn_id."'");

I'm guessing its something to do with the query_first part not working for some reason?

TIA

Andy

This might sound really dumb stupid, but the first post says something about 2 files requiring modification. It just doesnt say which 2. And please dont anyone jump down my throat if you feel I have overlooked something in the instructions. I have re-read it multiple times.

Of course it could be that I am just not getting the point.

thanks anyway

If i look in the install file, i think you have been instructed to make changes to both the './includes/adminfunctions_template.php' and the './admincp/index.php'

Marco is right, it's in the install file.

Once you have run the donations_install.php file and installed the required templates, database tables, etc...., the very last step will show you the two file modifications.

Hi All,

I am trying this hack v1.04 with vBulletin Version 3.0.3. The install was seamless but I had the phrase problem which I found the sloution and I also do not have a the buttons showing when I launch the donate.php.

I seems there should have been a couple of manual edit but I can't seem to find it in the instructions.

Any help would be appreciated

I think I found my answer. I just read caimakale reply and checked the install php files and found the instructions for the edits. But I don't remember seeing those instrucions during the install but then again I was half asleep.

After trying to manually read extract the the information I needed from the files, which wasn't happening, i noticed a file called edits only. So I decided to run the install again and low and behold. It gives you the option to review the edits that are need. I was under the impress I was looking for a text file or htm file. So for now I have a functioning system. To all who are wondering. It works with vb 3.03

How do I get out of the test rfeature and go live?
