it works now!

BowHunt

hey bowhunt! u got it to work? man..i must have bad luck or something. what version are you running?

version 2.2.8

Go ahead and redo everything then run the contribute.php which should be located in your Admin folder

I redid everything then re-ran the contribute.php file.

It worked for me, finally. I had it working in all the versions except this last one, but now it works.

BowHunt

doing it again did the trick for me. i think probably cause i forgot to upload a file. *smack myself in the head*. thanks for the help!

if i want to give my members custom titles, can i just sorta 'hack' this hack or is there a hack out there already that does that? i can't seem to find it.

thanks again!

Works great on 2.2.9! But I have one "stupid" question:

If I wanna show a picture instead of the text how will that template look like...? I am pretty new to this you see....

*Clicks install*

Is there a way to search through the CP for who your contributing members are?

[QUOTE]If I wanna show a picture instead of the text how will that template look like...?

I just installed this hack ... Mark, great job. Easy as hell ... even for a newb like me !!!

Here's my question for anyone that can help ... I have the "Contributor" setup right under the user title. How do I remove it from the post header (think that's what it's called) ... any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Can you post a link to an example of your problem?

Glad you like the hack :)

Sorry ... can't figure out the right terminology. The image below shows where it's appearing above the user info.

I changed it to read "Paid Member" .... I just wanted to remove it from the "post header"

Thanks,

Check your postbit template to see if the variable's been doubled up anywhere :)

Fixed. Age is affecting eyesight !!!Mark thanks again for the great hack. If theres anywhere I can donate ... I'd like too ... the hacks and help I've found here are worth it.

Thanks again.

Glad you got it sorted!! :)

Hey MarkB, thanks for this EXCELLENT HACK!
but 1 thing... what If I wanted to set up a forum for Contributing Members only.. how would I go along doing this with your hack?
thanks again

Can you merge this with the Styles for Premium members? and Also, is it possible to add it to a usergroup?

If usergroup=7 then display this template and blah blah? Is it possible?

works a treat here on 2.3.0 :)

cheers.

I've installed the hack and works just fine on 2.3.0 though a few things I'd like to know is:

1. Is there a way to see who had donated? Like in the Admin CP so that you could goto Users -> Find -> Supporters or something like that?

2. Is there a way to make it so that only contributing members can view certain forums?

If these two things already exist I'd love to get a link to them as it would be a HUGE help for me.

Hey folks,

I've not installed this hack yet, but am willing to. We signify our subscribers by giving them a Silver ring using the Awards Hack by Lesane.

What I'm attempting to do now is give all of our staff a special little icon and I think this hack would work perfectly. The thing is that I would like to have the image be clickable so that I could link it to the "Forum Leaders" page, and then would not need to have text, but just a small non-intimidating image that could help newbies and such tell when they're dealing with one of my staff versus a regular member.

The easiest way would be for staff NOT to use custom titles, but this would be wayyy slicker!

Can this be done? Or am I stuck with just a static image? And is there any known conflicts between this and the awards hack?

Thanks,
Illu

Help!

I ran the contribute.php file the first time, and it says everything was succesful. But it didnt add any customs templates : getinfo_donation & postbit_donation

Can someone post here or send them to me? I dont understand why it didnt create them :(

nobody?

Can someone send me the content of the two templates please? :ermm:

nghia@nguyendai.com

anyone? :tired:

Okay...I've started out to install this hack as I am using Lesane's award hack for my contributors and with this I can put a nifty little image under the postbit to identify my staff.

Now, the only thing I'm hesistant about is that I want to change the code for the user panel to say "Is user staff?" instead of "Has user made a donation"

The current code reads Forgive my rookiness with this stuff......I figure changing the actuall sentance is easy enough. but what about this part......"donation",$user[donator])

Would that then be ."staff",$user[staff])?

If you can direct me here...I think I'll be able to get this up and running in no time!! Oh...also.....I've allready got my spiffy little staff image placed into the postbit_donation template....but what am I supposed to do with the getinfo_donation template? anything?

Well...I guess you can just ignore everything that I posted earlier!! :ermm: :surprised: :lick:

Great hack mate!! Did exactly what I wanted it to do!!

I've now assigned the site logo (smaller version) to all my staff as we do not use 'Moderator, Admin, etc.) for titles and use a Silver ring to identify our site supporters.

[high]* Illuvatar clicks install and is very happy!!
[/high]

Here is an example of what I did with this hack.

I only had to hack the hack a little bit to modify how the question in the admin panel displays, and even assigned an 'alt' tag to the image. hehe

Tomorrow I'm gonna link it to the Forum Leaders page and be done with it! Thanks again!

In Fellowship,

is there a way to not only show who contributed but display what they contributed? Whether it was money, equipment, service, etc?? Have an option to show this in the ACP, in the user profile and/or in the Postbit??

pdatoon, the two templates are rather simple.

The "getinfo_donation" template contains 1 line that says "- Contributor".

The "postbit_donation" template contains 1 line that says "Contributor".

That's it.

Well.....as I wanted to customise mine just a bit...my getinfo template has this and my postbit one has But as was said way earlier in the thread, you can put whatever you need to display into these templates.....the first one is what shows up in your users profile, and the second is actually what displays under the users post count.

Thanks so much for this hack!!!

Now, how could I setup a private forum for contributors? (without a usergroup) would I have to manually edit their access masks?

Is there a way to make it only show up if they have it (like the age hack)?

Since I'm using this hack to indicate my staff members, it's been brought to my attention that it would be very usefull to have the image show up when they send a private message as well.

I added the $postbit[donation] bit into the privmsg template, but that was not enough.

Can anybody tell me what else needs to be applied and where in order to make this work for private messages?

Thanks.
Illu

I had a problem yesterday and had to revert back to some things, now my templates for this hack have gone missing.

All the changes that were made to the admin/functions, user.php and member.php are still there.

So would someone tell me how to just get the templates installed again?

I didn't really want to uninstall the whole hack because I have quite a few people who have donated and this info would be wiped wouldn't it?

Edited to add: I found what I needed in this thread.

This is a great hack...it made my donation system a breeze and has users donating more since they get a little something (a supporting member image) to show they made a donation.

Thanks for the great hack!!!!!

it's possible to have this great hack for vb3?

I use it with my board 2.3.0 and it's perfect but now i want install it on a vb 3 board

thanks

Anyone tried out on version 2.3.2 yet?

I wish 2.3.2 and 2.3.0 is exactly the same but there are few changes on the coding.

@Gser - it can be done on vB3 using usergroups and templates.
