In settings, first option.

where are the settings located?

In the Admin Control Panel under Donations Admin.

If you don't have that, then you haven't done the file edits.

Excellent hack, had to play with the module setting for vBa CMPS v2, but not in your code.

Bravo!

If you could break it down for us, I'm sure people would appreciate it.

Excellent neat hack !! I have been looking of this for a long time. :)

I added some donors, who had already made some donations prior to adding this hack but adding these donors has no effect on goal achieved modules. e.g. suppose i have added some donors, who each have contributed $5 but the the goal bit shows that i have got none donations so far. How do i do it so that donations made prior to this hack are also incorporated and are considered towards achieving the goals?

** Addional Request ** It would be wonderful if this hack could present to the members the option of making recurring payments via Paypal. I have some members who contribute $5 on monthly basis using recurring payments feature within paypal. I think there should be a checkbox option (may be manual) for making recurring payments to the members, who do not like making a donation each time but do make automated recurring payments.

Thanks for a very nice hack.

Morning folks --

Sorr I've been away for a day or so, I do have to spend family time with the rest of the clan though...

anyway, in response to your portal block thing, here's the issue that I see...you are all hard-coded. The donations system is a dynamic system that uses 90% of it's power out of the DB. The tables it uses are:

donation_buttons
donation_goals
donation_donators
donation_paypalipn

if you don't pull from the DB using these tables to get the right values, and are not using the correct "custom" variable i.e.then the system will not recognize your donation at all...These values MUST come from the database itself. your best bet is to simply link to the donate.php page to make sure that the system recognizes the donation, while the portal block simply pulls the data off of the DB and gives totals.

On a lighter note, I've adjusted most of the donator naming convention that I was using (seems that my small rebellion was confusing / pissing some folks off), and an update will be coming shortly.

To get the donations to show against the goal, you must manually add the total donations against the goal itself in the AdminCP. Just edit a goal and you will see where you can change the total donated there, then the donations will count against your goal. There is a reason for my madness in seperating the donors from the goals ;). That reasoning will become evident in the near future. I'm not willing to spout off the reason just yet.The reoccuring option is built into the subscriptions system. I am looking into implementing this though, but it's going to take some time while I try to figure out some of the Paypal quirks with subscriptions...Thank you ;)

Hey boss, make SURE that you are not running in test mode. The Paypal servers will NOT verify a test mode system....i.e.

Paypal gets a donation from your script
You are running in test mode so when Paypal sends notification to your server your server tries to place a call to the sandbox.
The sandbox says, I didn't initiate this transaction, therefore, it is invalid...

If that's not the issue, then you must do a little investigating on the system side of things (i.e. post what you have in the invalid table (viewable in the admincp) so that I can see where your issue lies) to find your problem (If posting what's in the inavlid table, please make sure to remove any identifiable information such as phone number, address, names, IP addresses, etc. As well as whether your server is in test mode or not, it will also help to provide a view--source of your donate.php buttons. This will assist in troubleshooting).

Yeah, I like that, I will add that to the first post right now....

Does the latest update remove the numerous \r\n ?
