Hiya Cyb-

i'm having a little issue here wondering if maybe you can point me in the right direction
the bar displays fine the drop down menu's work when viewing who's donated that
show's the members who's donated but yet the bar just doesnt move.

is there any way to actually move the bar yourself? for instance 20 dollars a month
is our server goal for the gaming community someone donated 15 dollars which the bar should be more than half way it's not moved

anyway to say increase this bar manually? until we figure out why its not moving

thanks.

You can add fake donation manually, approve it, then see if donbar will be updated.

ignore that last message it's working now i just assumed it would rise itself soon as someone donated my stupidity you need to manually go into the donations list and approve it.

thanks again for a wonderful plugin

Hello everyone, I installed this product, but I do not see the green bar and red of donations. Why?
If you want to check, my site is: dimmicosacerchi.it / forum
Thanks! ^^

Ensure that DonBar is enabled in product options, that Goal Amount is properly set, and that you have confirmed donations.

I solved the problem of the bar (I had forgotten to put the colors).
I have another question: When you made a donation, arrives instantaneously? The forum seems to confirm the donation, but in reality I have never came (after 2 hours). Paypal settings are correct.

Cyb,

Is there a way that when i manually enter names that i can add a actual name block?

I would like it to look like : [#] [Real Name] [User ID] [Amount] [Date] [Edit]

Is there a way that if i dont enter a user ID it can say unregistered?

On the CMPS the links dont have the forum before the links which variable do i need to globalize?

Great product thank you.

Name column may be added in future versions.

When you leave userid field blank it will add new item to the list with "Unknown" in the place of username. You can change "Unknown" to whatever you want in Phrase manager.

Which links?

Ok,

The links on my home page in the donation drop down menu.

If i wanted to add the Name block now how could i?
I am willing to donate for this.

Hello i just installed this awesome hack and i have o problem!
I have set the settings :
Your Donor/VIP usergroup ID: 10 (it is the correct id of the vip group)
Move or Add confirmed donor to your VIP/Donor usergroup?: Move to Vip/donor group
Also change user's "Display Usergroup" to VIP/Donor usergroup: yes

When a member send the money i take them but the member is not being VIP!!!

How can I fix this?

Have you confirmed donation?

How can i do this?

There is a link in 'Quick Links': View Donations

Or go manually to:
FORUM/misc.php?do=donlist

the link is working but there is no View Donation in 'Quick Links'!

how can i fix this?

Read installation instructions.

I have all the 2 steps but nothing happened!

what should i do?

I tried this and it did not work.

You should be more patient with Cyb he is a busy guy he might not always see every post or answer your question when you want.

But dam at least be appreciative for the hard work he has put into this mod if you think its so easy providing support for a ton of mods than maybe you should try and code a product for yourself.


Any idea Cyb?

Also i could really use the name column.

I will donate for the support on the name column question.

Just installed and working well! Thanks for the mod!!

Cyb,

This part works great to make it show up on CMPS but how to get the links to work associated with it in the drop menu?

This option are only visible for Admins

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

But i'm a owner of my website and i have a other usergroup id.
And with my account i can not see this option in this PayPall Hack.
How can i shut down this for a administrator and activate it for my usergroup id ?

Im talking about this menu:

http://www.localcobalt.net/forum/mem...7-dropmenu.jpg

I can see the "botton" "donate" in my forum!

Cyb?

Can you move CMPS to your forum root dir and update it's settings?

This will improve compatibility with most of hacks, regarding links, using several domains, etc...

Otherwise you'll need to edit product to add forum url to all these links.

It is installed in the forum, where do i have to edit the hack?

Only the index is outside the forum.

Does anyone know which template to edit?

Thanks for your Paypal mod! I love it. I was wondering if there was anyway I could embed that donation bar onto my website's homepage using html.

Any help would be appreciated.

I have asked this a couple times.

What happens after the subscription expires?
Do members automatically get charged again?

Do I need to approve them again?

If they cancel their subscription, does the usergroup change?

No is the answer to all your questions.

Thanks.
So once they are confirmed and moved to their usergroup, they are there forever regardless of the terms?

I'll have to manually change their usergroup?

The donation bar is very useful.
Since I am manually confirming payment, maybe I should just use the subscription function at the same time?

Thanks mate

I installed it and made the proper settings in ACP of vb3.8. This works fine with a few exceptions,

There are 5 questions which have not been answered over the last 11 pages yet:

1. Donation bar shows up, but does not update automatically. Is this the default behaviour? How can I make this automatically without manually appoving it?

2. Donator is not moved to default VIP group, although I made both settings in the ACP: How can I fix this?

3. How can I change the donation system, so that it is not a one-time donation but uses the recurring subscription possibility I have also available with the standard vb paypal feature? (but donation bar shall reflect these amounts too)

4. How do I take out the option to collapse/hide the donbar?

5. As soon as unregistered usergroup ID is blocked via the appropriate field in your Mod, the donate link directs to smilies page

More question/ wishes in addition to those 5:

6. If I allow unregsitered people to donate, only the IP is tracked (obviously). It would be great to have instead an alert, that the need first to login befere donating because otherwise we can not give them privileges (i.e. different usergroup).

7. It would be great to be able to place optionally the donate alert/bar inbetween postings.

Thanks in advance

Is it at all possible to have it auto-confirm, such as the subscription system does not need you to go through and do it manually?

You need to look and read very carefully the options for this plugin. It has the ability to set what Usergroups can use the donate plugin, as well as for Admins or others, what access to it.

For subscriptions, they only work if the user has a premiere or Business level paypal account. That is stated by CYB.

If a subscription expires, assuming all other prerequisites, then yeah...no more charging... It's not the plugin that would do it afaik, it's what already got setup in the user's paypal account.



This plugin is a great tool. It was meant, imo, to be somewhat manual on purpose. This is because dealing w/ money can be quite sensitive.

Having to manually APPROVE a donation is the best way to go. Why, b/c anytime someone actually picks an amount and goes to be prompted for logging into Paypal, DOES NOT MEAN a payment was finalized.

A user can just close everything down for any reason. CYB's plugin activates no matter what after this step. It logs the donation, but is UNCONFIRMED. An admin should never Confirm a payment that they have not received, right? So in my mind, this is a good control of what is going on.

As for swapping automatically to a usergroup....I'm sure it works fine initially. But the case of remove/readd requires then a feature of setting some DURATION b/t donations. Kinda weak if you really want that imo, but i'm not one to know exactly what your people's needs are there. Just pointing out that some automation is not really the best in everything.


I'm not the coder, but I'm a fan of his and thought I'd chime in w/ my experience to try and help.




Now to CYB for a Feature Request ---

Would it be feasible or possible to implement a method of manually adding a donator and their amount?

My example reason: Had a donator send me funds directly, they did not use our site. We really need to track all amounts so that the meter is not "misleading", by accident in this case of course. Also, to properly show whom was the contributor.

I had to request the person to trick the PayPal system as I described above. He logged in, picked an amount, and then stopped. This got his name properly in the list w/ his amount.

Thanks!!

Option to add donations manually is available from the beginning:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...3&d=1231601511

(slap me silly!)

Is there any Module which I can use on vBCMS (not vBadvanced!) ?

Also, where can I change the background color of the Users that have donated in the Doner List ? Because i use a dark theme and the background of Users that donated in the Donerlist is kinda whitish. Would need to change that.
Thank you.

Wolfseye

Main forum colors are used for confirmed donations, so if usernames appears fine in posts there should be fine here too. For unconfirmed donations there is an option in product settings to change the background color.

Thanks. ;) Anything on a Module for vBCMS maybe ?

Hi Thank you for the mod, it's very light and great.

Is this possible? I want the mod to add extra usergroup tag/id only to the staff except Members usergroup.

Let's say some of my Moderator donated and they got moved to Donor making them unable to manage the forums. So I want them to just get extra usergroup tag under their MODERATOR tag like this, so they have two tags:

[MODERATOR]
[DONOR]

but I want to disable this for Members, I want them to become Donor if they donate, so they only have 1 tag, [DONOR] instead of:

[MEMBER]
[DONOR]
