- - Miscellaneous Hacks - VSa - PayPal Donate (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=236480)

Worked for me just fine in vb4.2.3

Been using this a long time. It was installed by a professional as I was new to vb.

Question.

I am the only one who can accept donation. I have looked every where to add others or even other user groups.

I'm guess it's a simple fix but I have no idea and no one else seems to have posted this problem.

Thanks in advance.

This is correct.. may be if I explain this way..

When some one donates, it's not set to auto accept and auto update on the donations list.

Once I have confirmed payment I then approve there donation on the web site and the donation list is updated.

No other partner on our Web site can accept the donation on the web site apart from me.

If that is what you want, the only option is the pro version of the DBTech one, this mod has never auto confirmed donations.

hi. how can i add this addon manually.?
i want to add manual to templates...

PHP Code:


		
			
                if ($vbulletin->options['vsapaypal_donbar_autoinsert'])                {                    $ad_location['global_below_navbar'] .= $vsapaypal_donbar;                }

this code is autoinert to navbar.. this code is addon named VSa - PayPal Donate - Link
and i want to insert to navbar but i want to show only registered users etc...
because of i must add manually...
there isn't any option to users...
thanks for your helps..

i will disable autoinsert on vbulletin settings... after that i will add manually.
i added {vb:raw vsapaypal_donbar} but not worked..

I don't have an /inc/plugins/ directory. I have an includes but does not contain the plugins dir.

Yes I have looked around the software and the directory is no where.

Does anyone know how to make this work when the forum is turned off?

I'm sick of perpetually begging my members to give money so need to do something drastic.

I know I am late, yet I have only now moved my vB 3.8.9 forum straight to vB 4.2.5.

I have been using the similar Donate hack on vB3, so it made sense to install this one. It looks similar, but there are some differences and I found a pretty big bug - surprising nobody talks about it in 57 pages of comments. I did find a workaround for the bug as I will explain.

First of all, I compared the differences in what is sent to PayPal between the old and new version.
This mod adds the following to the url string sent to PayPal: &sra=1&src=1&srt=1

Seems harmless enough, until you try to submit a donation for one month. This results in the following error on PayPal:
"The link you have used to enter the PayPal system is invalid. Please review the link and try again."

As I knew that only three parameters had been added, I tested each of them until I found the problem: srt=1

PayPal defines that parameter as follows: "Specify an integer with a minimum value of 2 and a maximum value of 52."

Sure enough, as soon as I set srt=2, it worked.

As I did not want recurring subscriptions, I made some changes to the .xml file to get it to work as it did in the vB3 version. I also decided to set the locale to US as otherwise, my mainly US subscribers were being presented with a German PayPal page.

Find the following in VSa_PPDon.xml

Code:

                        if(strstr($vbulletin->GPC['amount'],'|'))

                        {

                                $vsapp_get_amount = explode('|', $vbulletin->GPC['amount']);

                                $vsapp_ppurl = 'https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick-subscriptions';

                                $vsapp_ppurl .= '&a3='.$vsapp_get_amount[0];

                                $vsapp_ppurl .= '&p3='.$vsapp_get_amount[1];

                                $vsapp_ppurl .= '&t3=M';

                                $vsapp_ppurl .= '&no_note=1';

                                $vsapp_ppurl .= '&sra=1';

                                $vsapp_ppurl .= '&src=1';

                                $vsapp_ppurl .= '&srt='.$vsapp_get_amount[1];

                        }

                        else

                        {

                                $vsapp_ppurl = 'https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick';

                                $vsapp_ppurl .= '&amount='.$vbulletin->GPC['amount'];

                        }

Replace with:

Code:

                        if(strstr($vbulletin->GPC['amount'],'|'))

                        {

                                $vsapp_get_amount = explode('|', $vbulletin->GPC['amount']);

                                $vsapp_ppurl = 'https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick-subscriptions';

                                $vsapp_ppurl .= '&a3='.$vsapp_get_amount[0];

                                $vsapp_ppurl .= '&p3='.$vsapp_get_amount[1];

                                $vsapp_ppurl .= '&t3=M';

                                $vsapp_ppurl .= '&no_note=1';

                                $vsapp_ppurl .= '&lc=US';

                        }

                        else

                        {

                                $vsapp_ppurl = 'https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick';

                                $vsapp_ppurl .= '&amount='.$vbulletin->GPC['amount'];

                                $vsapp_ppurl .= '&lc=US';

                        }

In this change, I have completely removed the "&sra=1&src=1&srt=1" and added "&lc=US" to the string sent to PayPal. This makes all donations one-time, as it was in vB3, and ensures that all sponsors land on an English PayPal language page.

I find this works better for me and avoids the error for one month subscriptions. I also found that PayPal will show an error for any subscriptions longer than 24 months, so avoid that.

What I would really like, is an option to have this mod make use of the original vBulletin PayPal subscription system. Then a two month subscription could actually add the donor to the specified VIP group for those two months and then automatically remove the subscription to that usergroup, when the subscription expires. I do that manually, but it would be great if that possibility could be added to this mod. Is perhaps Valter, or someone else, up to the challenge?

I have attached my modified .xml file, in case anyone here finds it useful.

Problem: Donations not appearing on view Donations list (admin)

I have been using the popular similar mod "Cyb - PayPal Donate" for years without problems - I am very familiar with that mod and therefore it was natural to upgrade to this one with vb 4.2.5.

Since I wrote the previous post, my forum actually went back online and people have started donating. It was only then that I discovered this issue, that several people have mentioned here, yet I have seen no answers.

As this mod obviously is working for some people, I now desperately need to find an answer to the following issue:

vBulletin 4.2.5
PHP: 5.6.33
MySQL Version: 5.7.20-0ubuntu0.16.04.1

Using slightly modified version of this mod 5.0.3 (see previous post). The modifications only change what is sent to PayPal and fix the span issue, nothing database related.

When a user uses the mod to make a donation, they get to the PayPal page normally and a PM is sent to them, but their donation is not added to the database.
I have checked vsa_ppdonate directly and no entry is added at all. Consequently, I am unable to confirm the donation at all on the View Donations page.

If I use: "Add Donor Manually", the user is added to the database and shown on the list and automatically confirmed. No months are given, but I can correct that with the Edit button.

I even installed a fresh version of the forum and just installed this mod. The same problem occurred.

So Vader, please look into this and resolve it. I can provide you with full access to my test forum to help diagnose this. Plenty of others have complained about the same issue. So let us get to the bottom of this problem and fix it.

EDIT: It actually does this for any amount, it still puts it as 5.00, anyone know how to fix this?

I just downloaded this to my dev site (vB 4.2.5, PHP 7), and it works exactly as expected with regards to donation amounts.

Having problem installing this. Just keep giving me blank page when I try to import the product.

I admit I haven't looked through all the replies, just the last few pages. Sorry if this is a duplicate.

Is there a way to block this from unregistered users? I'm getting constant donation spam that is fake.

Hello,

ONly user group #6 (admin) can see the payment list. I have a need to allow another user group to view the payments list, in my case User group 18 & 27. I have this:
Usergroups able to view Payment list (comma separated list of IDs) 6,18,27

They see the drop down list to "View Payments" but no payments are listed (I see 4 test payments as an admin)

The attached file 01 shows what user group 18 sees when they click on payment activity and click on "View Payments".

Attached file 02 shows my settings in the Control Panel.

Suggestions?

Can PayPal Donate box add to right sidebar?

The program will NOT PM anyone other than an ADMIN for the notifications. You must be in the ADMIN user group to get the PMs. I have people in other User groups that I'd like to operate and use this program. Making people an admin is NOT an answer. I set it for 3 User Groups (1 admin and 2 other groups, "1 Club Treasurer" and "1 Activity Coord." as such 6,18,28 Nothing via PM notifications, only user group 6 (admins) get the PMs. I've set them as Secondary "Admins" and they see the list of donors but no PM notifications. I put them in User Group 6 (Admin) everything works just fine.

If I don't set them to at least secondary Admins, they can't see the list of donations.

This has got to be a bug in the programming or I have missed a permission somewhere along the line.

Little help please?
