i'm not sure if this was directed towards me or not, but anyone should feel free to ask for help. remember that there are no stupid questions, just stupid people. your statements remind me of someone who has to do a project that has a book of instruction, but rather then read the instructions completely, you just jump right in and ask for help. there are many pages of instruction for this particular hack that should be read to avoid the same questions popping up over and over again.

man 70 pages is alot to read. when u can just ask a question ad someone can answer it. i can see if it was 10 pages. when i first installed this i read pages 1 - 55 at least once some more. its alot of ish that don't even pertain to what u looking for. then by page 20 ur eyes are all watery and u tired and u may over look what u looking for. or u may not know enough
to realize u just read the answer. knowing what i know now that happened to me a lot when i first started.

anyways back to helping people. just thought i would point out a little common decency and a little less rude would go a long way. i do knkow how to search and i searched and still had to ask....

searching is only as good as the keywords you use.....i searched for an error i got only to find out it didn't exist...but it really did.....found it in the posts word for word...and i put it in the search word for word....only thing is my error #...example "error 5678idon't" understand why i get this....that doesn't come up as error 5678 lol...anyways like i said...search is as good as the key words and the posts. secondly enough about petty little comments....

on to helping people if i can.

kinda like how cell phones today have huge instructions BOOKS you have to read to understand everything. i guess people shouldn't read those either? how 'bout new digital cameras with huge instruction books - maybe nobody should read those? why do you think people take the time to write those instructions? why do you think soo many of us have taken the time to write out posts that solve 90% of all questions asked thus far? so that people can READ them and get the answers. i'm shocked this is such a difficult concept for soo many people.

as have i and many others multiple times already... now it's time for newbies to do their homework rather then just ask for the anwers... hell, the answers are already here - just search for them. as for your numerical error that didn't match up - each database is different and will produce a myriad of different error configurations. you just need to learn how to refine your searches to be more inclusive and less exclusive.

Honestly, if you want to install the hack, you can buzz through the 50+ pages of responses here. For any hack I now read the entire thread. There are a lot of details and cool recommendations in these threads that don't make it into the final code or install.txt.

It is a GOOD habit to develop, don't just install something based on the description and don't expect things to install and work right out of the box.

Great hack! installed and going!

oh well obviously you two are content being snide. so be it.

i will gladly help if needed...and if i know how lol...

You might want to add to this -- how to add to the "Site Navigation" links block on the left since my main navbar is getting a bit crowded and I really don't want to add a second navbar right now.

Thanks,
Jim

how about a dropdown menu like "quicklinks" thats what i did...want the info for that?? i will post it.. just get rid of all the links you want n the navbar and add them to a dropdown instead...looks much nicer!

Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> ? ? -> Navigation / Breadcrumb Templates -> navbar

Find this code and add the green code:

Change the MENU TITLE appropriately.

Then in that same template, scroll to the very bottom. Add the the green code:

Change the MENU TITLE, URL, and LINKED TEXT appropriately. Add more instances of the black code within the green code to add more links to the popup menu.

Or to add more popup menu redo the steps adding the code again and changing mypopmenu to mypopupmenu2 and then all the other one associated with it ;)

I think it's poossible that adding a guest donor doesn't seem to work.

Hi peeps

I have recently moved server, due to loosing some stuff during the moved i have had to reinstall this hack, since doing this the Donations menu in admincip on the left aint showing (all files uploaded more than 3 times now)
The settings in the Options are there just not the block where you add goals and buttons and what have you....

Please help if you can :)

ps... did a search and nothing stood out at me :(

you have to edit the cpnav file hold on i will find the exact one...

vBulletin needs to have a lower case b so it would be vbulletin instead. and its right at the top of the file ;)

Wow...To be honest i can remember doing that the last time now :o

Thanks alot, wish all peeps were as helpfull when a memebr struggles
Well done thanks again

ok...the guest donor doesnt update the counters

more importatnly, hw do you make this reset every month? i.e. makedonated amt go back to 0 each month

works on mine (vB 3.5.4)
AdminCP >> PayPal Donations >> View All Active Goals >> Select & View Goal >> Edit this goal >> Then manually reset the total for "Total Donations Received For This Goal" >> Update Goal

OR

just set a new goal and deactivate the previous one. i think my previous suggestions works best and is easier rather then creating a new goal each month.

Hi,

I uploaded all the files and ran the installation with no problems but when i try to upload the .xml i get this message

http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/97/invail6mk.gif

I also changed the Vbulletin - vbulletin still no joy can someone help me
im using 3.5.4 thanks

can you attach the xml file you're attempting to upload.
see above.

Yes sure here it is

<navgroups product="vbulletin"> <---it's not changed in the above file.

this is straight from the zip i downloaded i have already edited it with no luck

AnY1?

try attaching the edited version...that way someone can look at it and see what might be wrong.

I am confused you are trying to upload that to the FTP and it wont go? thats all you should be doing with that file is uploading it via FTP to the includes/xml/ folder. that eidt you need that Geartripper mentioned which you can accomplish with textpad. Otherwise you should be good.

Ok i read like 20 pages and man i really didnt get the answer I wanted.

Question is did anyone get the fix or a fix to the top donators. Everything works but that....

what's wrong with your Top Donors? - mine is working by default; attached is a screenshot of my vBA module taken a moment ago showing Top Donors on one of my forums (vB 3.5.4).

where you get that??

www.vbadvanced.com We are using on www.mr2board.com as well.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!

OK.... I went through... jeez... I don't know how many pages on this thread but it was A LOT.... and didn't see my problem....

I have the donations thing installed and it's allowing people to donate and such.. that's fine... BUT.... it is not adding the donors to the donor list and it's not updating the goals thing.
Yes I do have the button assigned to the goal and all....
If I add the donors manualy they do get entered and show up.. but it doesn't do it automatically when they donate....
Would very much appreciate getting this problem solved.

here...

might have something to do with your local setup.

there were a few others here that had a similar problem. have you set up your Instant Payment Notification Preferences correctly and turned them ON?

ex:

Instant Payment Notification (IPN) On
Instant Payment Notification (IPN) URL: http://yourdomain.com/forums/ppverify.php

Yep got all that set up.

make sure your not TESTING (Set Donations to Test Only! = NO). also verify that your have set up your Notification URL (Place the full URL to your ppverify.php file:
i.e. http://www.yourdomain.com/forum/ppverify.php). other then that, i wouldn't know what to ask other then what has already been asked in previous posts; make sure your host provides CURL capabilities, GD, etc.

Yep... all that is set proper as well..... Can't seem to figure this thing out.... I've followed directions to a tee... but it just ain't working......????

Just wondering.... I saw a post about tihs but didn't think it should matter.... I created my button a while ago and was just using it for donations. Then we decided to set a goal so we created the goal and attached the existing button to the new goal... could this be the problem? Should I have set the goal first and then created a new button and attached that to the goal???

that shouldn't matter. i've done that and mine still works. if you want me to take a look at your settings, feel free to give my account access on your forums. maybe i'll see something you missed, or something i'm forgetting to ask about. it could also be that you have another hack that is messing with this one. this PayPal mod is not friendly with other hacks at all.
