I actually did copy/install all of the included files, keeping the hierarchy of the folders in the zip. However, I never did see a control panel menu for the donations. :ermm:

The only reference I ever saw inside of the admin panel, was under the Plugin System > Manage Plugins. I believe it was WOL references, if I remember correctly. So I'm not sure what exactly I did (or didn't do).

The only place I have seen the donations setup is in the Admin vBulletin Options all the way at the bottom. For all intense and purposes when the fields are filled in it should work. But there is no button for Donation. I too feel I did something wrong here.

Confused

OK Fellow Brother I think I have it. At least it works anyway. Here is what you do.

In the AdminCP select Styles & Templates, then select Style Manager. Now you should see a window listing the styles you are using. Drop down the box on the first one and select Edit Templates. Another window will pop up, double click on Navigation/ Breadcrumbs Templates, now select and highlite NAVBAR, either the Customize or edit button will be available. Click either one.

In the FIND box look for this:
Quote:

a href="login.php?
it will show you this:

Quote:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="login.php?$session[sessionurl]do=logout&amp;logouthash=$bbuserinfo[logouthash]" onclick="return log_out()">$vbphrase[log_out]</a></td>

Paste this just above it:

Quote:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="http://www.yourdomain.com/bbs/upload/donate.php"
target="donate">Donate</a></td>
Make sure the URL to your doante.php is correct.

I hope this helps

Regards
Don

Don,
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!

I'm new to VB and I do not know where to find all the things they are talking about, that will change in time, I hope... LOL

I did not know how to add that button to the NAV bar, so thanks you this info!

I have a simple question.
I installed the hack and it 'seems' working as far as I could test it actually.

I have seen that it is modifying templates but cause I have modified very much templates heavily on my own the installer passed some templates.

Is there a html file available where all template changes are in?
I think I have to do some of them manually.

Does that mean that it must not work, if I can't get it to install like the "[other] 100 people?" you describe? No. It means somewhere along the line I screwed up, or forgot to perform a crucial step... which is quite likely since I am a novice vB user. Never did I say that this mod was garbage or didn't work at all. Go back and read my post, before you try getting smart with someone next time.

If you have further issues with me, or someone else who obviously doesn't possess the competency to complete this install with zero issues, please take it to PM. I don't want to clutter this thread with senseless bickering when all I was originally trying to do was relate my problems to someone who was having the exact issue.

:up: :up: :up:

Excellent retort. Said in a much better way then I would have said it heh.

For the record, three other people are having the same problem as me and the same problem has gone unanswered.

ASSumptions suck Iguana

I went on the Authors site under the donations URL he has posted and unless I am as dumb as a fence post I can't see how to make a donation on his site either....

Like others here I have gone over the installation 5 or 6 times and I keep getting the same result. Sure I can get the donation page but there is no link to "MAKE" a donation.

I was jsut informed what I was really missing. Now I belong to the elite few. The PayPal Donations option in the AdminCP. That's why it doesn't work

Back to my original question:
Can Cloudrunner or anyone else like to weigh in, please tell me what I am doing wrong. :tired:

Regards
Don

I just read a small post at

PayPal Option link


It seems that cpnav_paypal_donations.xml does not like the word vBulletin found in the begining of the script.

Open cpnav_paypal_donations.xml in a text editor and in the second line from the top find:

Quote:

<navgroups product="vBulletin">
and lower case the B so it looks like this....

Quote:

<navgroups product="vbulletin">
Now I have a working donation button.

It took me 2 times reading through 18 pages of post to find it. If laguna or whatever your name was or is, if you knew there was a fix on the system why didn't you point us to it.

I want to personaly thank Omega Prime the individual who posted this VERY helpful fix.

Regards
Don

Thank you very much for making this observation. Lower case B fixes it all. Now I and I am sure a few others will now have a working paypal system. Thank you very much.

BTW I reposted the fix on page 18.

You know... I looked at that specific post at least a dozen times, and it never clicked. I was assuming, through an older version, that the actual xml file once had "vBulletin" in the name of it... so therefore was not relevant anymore, with the current name. I never actually thought to open the current xml file to see if that string was in there.

Wow.

Thanks for replacing that dimly lit lightbulb above my head. :nervous:
