Problem with format date persist %d-%b-%Y

Uninstalled

Is this application being supported anymore?

What does "enable hack" mean?

Don't like the sound of that on my forum lol

back in the day all mods where called hack..
because you had to add code to files..
so you where hacking / adding code that was not original to the file..

now they are mods
because of the way they are implemented to the board software.
some authors still use hack instead of mod...

that's a fast run through

basically your enabling the mod / addon

He guys, i need to place the bar in the footer and not under navbar.
Which is the short key that i've to use to place it where i want in forum home ?

The fill color on my donation bar is no longer there. When I set the color up in the Admin options nothing happens. :(

Edit: NVM Figured out, The new options in .0.3 overrides the original options. Forcing you to use the new ones.

Has the recurring subscription issue been sorted out yet?

IE, I'd like the 5|12 option to "donate £5 per month for 12 months", not £5 every 12 months x 12 times (as is currently happening).

Guys, how can i setup the PayPal Donate Donation Bar to show only on the Blogs and Donations page?

I don't understand why it's also showing on the ChatBox page: http://www.consolegames.ro/forum/misc.php?do=cchatbox

I want to make sone "refunds" and manually add some negative amounts in the donation system. Unfortunately it doesn't allow me to manually enter negative values. Is there any way to change this?

In the XML file change


to


&p3=1

So the 1 is how many months so you could change it to 2 3 etc. Of course if you do this is will make all subscription the same amount of months.


You can also change

to

And this would change it to days instead of months.


Just reimport the XML file through the admin panel and your done.


Hope that helps

Is it possible to automatically add users to two usergroups when confirming donations? I tried putting two usergroup id numbers in the settings, separated by a comma. It seems to have worked, but wondering if it might cause issues?

No need to edit the XML file if you have it already installed.
Just go to plugin manager, "VSa - PayPal Donate - Ext" and then find and edit and save.

Thanks :)

Hi, is there a way to have it shown on a side block ?

A guest cannot view my forum. He will be redirected to login screen.
Is it possible to make the donation bar visible for guests in the login screen?
So that a guest can donate to register ?

I have a weird problem. My donation is setup like this. 3.99|1, 9.99|3, 29.99|12 The 2nd and third option work but the first I get an error from PayPal saying an invalid links was followed. If I remove the first option the 2nd (now the first) option works. If I change the 3.99|1 to 3.99|2 it works. I have to assume that the mod does not like the |1 option.

So I just installed this and plan to use it for DONATIONS.

It seems that the system, when it transfers money, sets it up as a purchase of a good. Thus Paypal charges a fee. Is there anyway to change how paypal registers the donation as a transfer to avoid the fee?

TBH I believe that wold be a violation of PayPal terms, unless of course you are a Not For Profit organization, then if so, I think you would have to take that up with them.

That's not true. You can edit all the xml but the problem persists.

Yes, I also have the same problem. A shame, I liked this mod...

I'm sure someone has asked already but I can't seem to find it or get it working on my own....

How can I create links in threads that use the donation system (add to the total) such as:

Donate $5

I was also going to ask how to add donate 5$ every month but it appears someone has just asked that I believe.

Has anyone a solution for this? I am using a custom style and it only shows up in the default style.

Hello

We have a problem on my forum with date, i see d-m-y, how to fix?

Regards

Same here!

And another question from a n00b programmer: I am using a different Style and I don't see the donate button in my default style, only in the Test style which happens to be the renamed default style. How can I fix this? Donation page does also not show up under the quick links.

Thanks!

Is there a way to confirm the actual amount of the donations? I mean after the fees.

For example a 5 USD donation only gives you 4,5 USD. If I try to edit the amount to 4,5 USD, it changes to 4 USD...

~~Edit~~
Changing "amount" type to DECIMAL(6,2) added a .00 decimal to the amounts on the donation list, but if I try changing that to .50 via the plugin's "edit" option, it gets reset back to .00
If I edit the amount in the database itself, there's no problem with the decimals... What am I missing?

~~Edit2~~
Okay, I solved it.
Turns out I also had to go to "ACP>Plugins & Products>Plugin Manager>Product : VSa - PayPal Donate>VSa - PayPal Donate - Ext" and change both instances of: to:

This modification does not handle the donations as actual "donations" - they are billed as regular "payment".

Here's how you can change that:

Edit the xml (before installation) or go to ACP>Plugins & Products>Plugin Manager>Product : VSa - PayPal Donate>VSa - PayPal Donate - Ext (if you already have it installed) and:

1. Locate:
2. Replace it with:

PayPal doesn't allow creating subscription links for donations. There are two ways of dealing with that:

1. We can remove the "amount" from the donation link which will allow people to manually add said amount on the PayPal's donation page. If you open PayPal's donation page without a set amount, you will be able to select "Make This Recurring (Monthly)"*, which will run until the Donator clicks unsubscribe in his PayPal account.

*Seems only possible when viewing PayPal with US, GB or AU locale selected.

Unfortunately, I can't readjust the modification to make this option work perfectly, but here is the bare minimum:

1.1. Locate:
1.2. Replace it with:
1.3. Locate:
1.4. Replace it with:
1.5. Find the vbphrase named vsapaypal_for_x_months and edit it to say:
Done.

2. Use the original payment system for subscriptions.

Lemme explain how the subscription variables work so that you know how to best edit them for yourself:

a3 - the amount
p3 - duration of the subscription
t3 - unit of the duration - D, W, M, Y (Days, Weeks, Months, Years)
src - whether the payment is supposed to be recurring (0 - no, 1 - yes)
str - how many times should the payment recur (1-52)
sra - if the recurring payment fails, should PayPal try two more times before cancelling the subscription (0 - no, 1 - yes)
no_note - whether to ask for a note for the recurring payment (1 - no <-- always choose that for subscriptions)

So, if you locate:
And change that to:
Then the subscription will be 1 month long, and will repeat (the payment) the number of times the used chose from the dropdown box.

~~
It's probably possible to edit the mod to use a custom length of the subscription too, but I don't have a business PayPal account so I can't test that. (Payment Subscriptions are only available for business accounts).

I have been using Donate successfully for a while but about 6 months ago it stopped working. People can make a donation but it does not appear in my paypal account. Do you have any suggestions?
The paypal account is correct.

Hi iv have not long started using this app tho had it installed for a while and have noticed when people donate all goes threw but it does not show up on the View Donations page any advice?

I also made the $vsapp_ppurl = 'https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_donations'; change

Importing Product, Please Wait...

Transferring your previous Donations to a new version...

Fatal error: Call to a member function fetch_array() on a non-object in /home/abcdd/public_html/core/includes/adminfunctions_product.php(881) : eval()'d code on line 10

FYI Removing this from 3 different forums has fixed the very popular "filestore72" redirect issue. (vB 4.1.2)

Are there any updates to permissions/files where we can secure this further?? I have it turned off but I would much rather prefer the freedom of my users to send me dollars - haha.

installed and operating as of this date! My first mod install, lol

Thanks again!

Works perfect. Thanks.

this mod turned out to be a playground for hackers unfortunately

almost all donations registered through it are fake
all it does is make me ban people and worry about my pp email address being leaked

uninstalled and not recommended
you'll be fine with a standard button

^ Yes I mentioned it earlier (2 posts up) but no word from the developer on securing it better for 4.2.2 --- unfortunate.

BUMP

I have had this mod installed on my forums for over 2 years and I have "NEVER" had any problems ... if all donations are fake that doesn't mean this is a playground for hackers, it means you have spammers who are just messing with your site or guests and members who are checking out the donation system ....

Not cool to accuse someone's mod of it being something it is not ...

This plugin doesnt hand out the VBexperience donation award, and ive tried the CyB and that just doesnt work. anyone have any luck?

I don't recommend this mod.

My website is being redirected now off of google search after running this for a few solid years. Disabling it fixes it, enabling it and letting some time go by-- well, it just comes on back.

^ The next time this happens you might find that disabling ANY plugin will restore your site - not just this one.

But even with that said I don't recommend this mod anymore. If anyone has any other solutions please let me know.
