I have agonized about how to get this hack for months!
Beautiful work.

I seem to have a conditional error when I edit my postbit; I figure it must be my error.

I just sent you a PM.

Hi Simon,

Just looked at your posbit template the conditional error was for an additional </IF> tag which was spare, I deleted that and alls well ;)

However, It seems that your Postbit has been heavily modified, i think as part of your style where i wouldnormally post the hack, just makes your postbit look like a right mess :confused:

I will however have another go and see if we can get it working for you :cool:

Can I make this so someone clicks to buy someone a drink and can then choice the amount?

thanks

The amount is set for ?3 or you can change it for $3, or whatever you want within the code. But for the end user to change the amount, they'll have to change it when it goes to the paypal payment page, It shows as a donation on paypal so they will be able to change the amount there.

The reason i did this at ?3 was because of the silly fees paypal charge, the end user would be left with Pennies if i'd set it at ?1
:eek:

Happy St Patricks day to you Steve :D

Today i even put a Buy me a Beer hack on my main site :eek:

How desperate is that ???

You can never have too many beers bought for you :up:

Gerry, nice work! You can't have too many beers, right?

I haven't added this hack yet, but I will be in the near future :up:

I haven't looked back, but did you ever get the code for the PayPal to go to the site admin or one particular PayPal rather than paying each other?

Yes i did mate, Thats what i used for my main site

Just change the red email to your sites email addy, and don't forget the url of your picture at the end ;)

Fantastic! I can always count on you to have the answers Gerry! :up:

No worries :D

Is there any way to make it so the beer that is bought just appears on the user's profile, rather than on their post? If so, how would I do this? Thanks!

I guess you would add it in their profile template, but i'm not sure 100%, but won't that defeat the object???

if a member helps out and perhaps saves another member $$$$$$$$$$'s, Then surely it would pay to show the beer icon on the members postbit so they have max exposure :confused:

I've added mine but they cannot change the amount even at paypal (it's a donation). Any idea what I could be missing?

Simon

The amount is fixed At ?3 or $3 whatever currency your using. You can change the amount in the code by finding

and changing it to what you want

The reason i did this like this is twofold, One to prevent people simply paying small amounts that paypal fee's will use most of it up and secondly to prevent accidental amounts and disputes afterwards, like you only wanted to pay ?10 not ?100 ;)

The fixed fee is known by all and if members want to pay more, Just Buy another Beer!!!

Glad you got it working in the end ;)

here is my suggestion:

in the postbit maybe make it so it displays the number of beers purchased for them and the number of beers they purchased for others (similar to the way other mods like the thank you hack keeps count.)

So in their postbit/profile it would show:

Beers Recieved: 3
Beers Purchased: 2

and maybe have it send an pm to the person with a custom message or something when someone buys them a beer.

Congrats on the Advisor status :up:

That would be awesome.
Also, could someone put this in a product form? Would help out the newbies.

Noticed the color codes are ski-whiff in the original posts codes too.


Top mod and idea though
Installed :)

Thanks looks really nice
This mod can be used without payment system?

Will it works fr Vbulletin 4. Do reply please

Anyone know?

Ok im getting the following message on 4.0.2 when I edit my postbit_legacy template.

"Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 3332

vBulletin Message
The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:
%1$s
This is likely caused by a malformed conditional statement. It is highly recommended that you fix this error before continuing, but you may continue as-is if you wish."

Any gurus know what needs changed?

kkkk LOL -.-

Great idea, hahaha
