Did you read my above post on uninstalling

Just installed on 3.6.7 installed just fine and set up just fine. I had another one up but deactivated it and added this one because of the goals and listing the donors. Now I am not sure it if will actually work but I will see as soon as I get another donation, lol.

My questions are....
1. Is there anyway instead of having just the donate button, a field could be there with a preset amount that they could easily change and then it would transfer it to paypal? (This is what was done on the other one and I like that much better).
2. Also is there a way to create a field so the donator can leave a comment that will get sent with the payment (not show up on the donation list but just sent with the payment notice that I get in my e-mail) Paypal buttons have different options you can add for that but I could never figure it out on the other mod.
3. When this sends the donation does it also include the username of the donator in the e-mail when payment notification is received?
4. I had to add some donors that had donated from the other mod, they show up fine and all but is there a way to get that amount that was donated added to the donation goal I set up?

Thanks for any help you can give! It's working great (that I know of, lol). I did try searching but it's late here and my eyes are crossing from sitting too long at the computer!

1. When you create your button you can set the amount you wish if you leave the button at 0.00 the donor can donate what they wish for an amount. All you need to do is create more than one button for various amounts.
2. If you set up your paypal account you can add the feature to allow members to put notes. When the donation is made any notes can be viewed in the admin CP=>Donations=>valid transaction info.
3. No it does not. It uses the user's email address and their ip to grabe the data from the user table.
4. All you have to do is make sure that each button that is created is assigned to the goal. This is done through the admin cp create the goal then go to your button and assign it.

Hope that helps

1. Yes that is what I have done, but I was wondering if it is possible instead of having them fill it out at Paypal, if it could be inputed on the donation form before it is sent to paypal, like the other one does.
2. My paypal account has been set up for several years now. Never saw an option to do that. By any chance do you know where that would be done at? I thought it had to actually be put in the paypal button code (at least that is what it says on paypal).
3. Well crap, LOL!
4. Yes I have that set up, but I am talking about donors that donated before this was ever installed. I had to manually add them via add donor with the amount but it did not reflect it within the goal amount.

Thanks for helping me!

Does any one have a donation module addon for VBADVANCED CMPS v3.0 RC1
i tried the addons at the top of this page but they dont work on 3.6.7pl

I use both of those as well, and just now installed the vBadvanced CMPS Donations Module Add-On from above and it installed and works just fine. What was it doing or not doing for you to say that it does not work?

it dont show nothing
just got the bar that says donations
www.rotormadness.com

Ok go to admincp >>> vba CMPS >>> Edit Modules >>> Donations, Edit

Check the option for clean file output. Is it on or off? If it is on turn it off. If it is off turn it on. Check with both. Reason I say is some (alot of threads) back were saying that they had to turn it on to show. However, when I turn it off it shows and if I turn it on it doesn't. However, I just noticed this with the add on module for vbadvanced:

Ok after I added the vbadvanced addon module, it all works fine, however, when you are viewing the forums index and click on the title of one of the latest posts, I get this:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/usmchan/public_html/msg/modules/donate.php:47) in /includes/functions.php on line 2785

Any idea what I can do to fix this

That is how I know that if I turn on clean file output it won't show because after I got this error I searched threads and it said to turn it on. I did, and I stopped getting the above but then I had the same problem you do, lol.

Maybe someone can help with the above error as well....?

Works thank you much
1 other thing if you dont mind how can i change the back ground color
it is white the rest of forum is grey

I think it is going to be in your adv_portal_donate template but I am not for sure on that, you may also have to edit the 2 additional templates it calls for. I am not really sure as I have not played around with that part yet. But I would copy those templates before editing that way if you do mess up, you can copy the original content back into it.

Ok after I added the vbadvanced addon module, it all works fine, however, when you are viewing the forums index and click on the title of one of the latest posts, I get this:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/usmchan/public_html/msg/modules/donate.php:47) in /includes/functions.php on line 2785

I dont seem to have that problem
I have just clicked all over the forum and have no problems that i can see

I think I know why you don't have it and I do. I integrated the forums in with vbadvanced so I can show some modules on those pages as well (see here):
http://www.usmchangout.com/msg

I may just have to remove it from the forums part for now and leave it up on the vbadvanced index page until I can figure out how to fix it.

Nevermind, had to remove it from the forums pages. If you viewed as a guess another error message would come up when trying to click on one of the forums saying cookies alread sent or something to that nature, so I just left it on the vbadvanced index page (like you have it).

1. Why would you want to do that as the idea is for your donors to enter confidential info through the security of the Paypal site. But to answer your question it probably is possible but I would not do that.
2. You are correct, if you go to your paypal account and go through the options for creating a button it gives the code for allowing notes to be added. You would need to edit the template donations_bits and add the following check the info at paypal but I believe thats it.

You need to edit the template without looking at your styles I would try this in the adv_portal_donation template There are two instances of this in the template so you need to change both too

Ok just had someone make a donation, it got added to the goals like it is suppose to (this was also a previous donor that I did manually add) however instead of it showing as a member transaction adding to his amount that he has donated, it added it as a guest transaction. Any ideas? I think also he did it right before I set the IPN notification to yes with the url pointing to my ppverify.php could that be the reason?

Also, how do I add the amount that he just donated to his previous donation so it shows the total amount he has donated now? And how to get those manual donors I added to show the amounts within the goal. For instance I added 3 donors ($10, $10, $50) because they donated before I got this mod installed. But the goal amount received is $0 (well it shows $41 now because of the donation just received) I would like it to add the amounts from the previous donations, but not sure how.

And thank you for your other help. Reason I wanted the amount form on my site is it made it easier for donors to do everything there instead of at paypal (at least that is what they preferred). I think I will play around with that and the comments and see what I can come up with. Even though I have had paypal for years I never really looked at all the options they have.

LMAO I just figured out how to get the prior donations I added to show up! Click View Goals Edit goals and add the amount there! Geeze!

If the same donor makes another donation it will add to his total, so if you did not have the ipn set yes that would do it. Yes that is how you update adding a manual donor must update the goal. I believe paypal has a function to allow use of your own page but there are conditions for using it.

Edited

My Installation didnt complete So it wouldnt let me uninstall using the uninstaller Im scared of this thing , I removed all my uploads

DM

What Tables to i need to delete from the Server to wipe this clean?

Apparently you did not read any of the threads before you installed. There is a zip file called donation.zip with all the files and a XML for import. You can not install with the authors files as they will not work with 3.6.

If I only had a dollar for as many times as I have said this.

I didn't read 100 Pages I read the Instructions Which Must be Wrong .

Maybe you wouldn't have to keep telling people to read the thread if the instructions were correct

I have said it numerous of times and just a few threads ago with a link to the proper zip file.
I am not the author of this hack so dont jump at me I just try to help people to get it working if they have problems, but if you read through just 4 pages you will see how many times I have said it just recently.

Can you tell me what page this File is on please Ive seen where you have talked about it but have yet to discover its location amust 1505 posts

Here you go https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=119

Thank You So All I need to install this on 3.6.7 is in the donations.zip that was posted on post 119

Installed Works Great I Love it Thanks to all who care

DM

I don't know if somebody mentioned it before, but i will post it anyway. Sry if somebody did it already. This is what i wanted to do and how i did it.

I wanted to reward the donors by several ways, one way was to stop showing ads to them.

So by wrapping the ad codes with the following if tag i achieved that.
Sorry if somebody posted it before.

Hope it helps :)

Thanks!!! I just started having the same problems and this saved me lots of headaches! I wonder why it was working perfectly then it started giving these errors. Could it be that perhaps my web hoster changed some settings on my php.ini file?

Does anyone use this mod for monthly goals?

I had a donation today and the program didnt notice it I had to add the user manually , Ive had 5 or 6 successful ones what could cause this to stop working ?

DM

Did you check in your admincp donations valid and invalid transactions to see if they showed up there.

Not sure of your question. I use the goals as part of the donation system.

Lets say I have a goal for March's website hosting and next month I have a goal for April's website hosting.

I'm thinking that the best way to do this is to make a new goal and make the old one inactive. That should keep all the data from the previous month correct?

YEs i did and nothing , I got the email from Paypal ....

Total Amount: $10.00 USD
Currency: U.S. Dollars
Transaction ID: 4PM16345AN048603J
Quantity: 1
Item/Product Name: Donate Any Amount
Item/Product Number: Users Correct IP
Buyer: xxxxxxxx

I had to use the IP address from this email and seach users by IP address to see who donated then had to ad them

Whats the deal?

DM

check the cmod on the ppverify file in your forum root and make sure its 777
recheck your donation settings at paypal and on your site be sure at paypal that it points directly to the ppverify file

Does anyone know why on some users who has an assigned avatar, it shows the "This Donor has No Avatar" image?

I'm running VB 3.6.5 w/ the modified ZIP version of the software linked above, and VBSEO 3.0.0

This mod is great. Thanks.

It was on 644 I change it to 777 with filezilla and every time i click it again it shows 644

This worked fine when i first installed it , Ive had it do its thing right a few times

I called the sver peeps and they cmoded me to 777 ...will have to wait for a donation now

you busy???

lol Just Kiddin
