Thanks Kirby

yeah, i hate 2 be a bother, but i really need help, i got people lined up 4 donating /; and they cant find the link /;

I recomend making a forum or subforum that redirects to:

And just a note but it took about 24 hours for the paypal verfied logo to start working for my site.

why would u want to do that when u can have a link to donate.php on ur vbaCMS page?

please, i really need this donate thing 2 go up!!!

will that open with the vBaCMS links and stuff on either side?

still need help please :)

what exactly do you need help with?

somehting looks wrong wiht my site, theres no spot 2 put money in /;

You havent added any buttons yet! Browse the options in the control panel. It takes more time to wait for help than it does to do some research on your own. ;)

no it wont. u can make it open in a new window though.

yeay, i love you cmiller :)

um.....installed and love it but......

How do you DELETE a donation button? I made a couple for tests etc...now I don't know how to get rid of them!!!!!!

I might be blind but I can't anywhere to DELETE stuff and only Add.


EDIT: nevermind. found it. :p
<<<smacks forehead!! :nervous:

Already fixed it :DDD Enable the plugin system... DOH!
I get this installation error on vbulletin 3.50 rc2:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method vBulletinHook::build_datastore() in xxxxxxx\admincp\donation_install\donation_install_ plugins.php on line 34

Thanks for your time.

Does anyone with a clue have any idea what it would take to bridge this with some sort of medals extension like YAAS - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=94836?

Awarding or upgrading predefined medals automatically as donations come in would be an ideal scenario. Just thinking out loud.

this is installed on a fresh install of vb ^^; im testing crap out, and i cant get it 2 install, any ideas?

Can anyone help me with the following:

1.
There is the option in modify options for the user to choose whether their donations are shown or not.

How do I add this option to the user manager in AdminCP also.
(basically so admin can enable / disable the showing of a users donation status)

2.
I know this was discussed previously, but how do i get the donations VBAdvanced Module working with 3.5.0.. i would really like this to work (it worked perfect under 3.0.8)

any help with either problem is appreciated.

Running vb 3.5 and cmps 2.0rc ... I didn't get a donation module in my cmps... anybody any idea why? Thanks

The module wasn't included in the 3.5.0 version... The module from 3.07 doesn't work with vb 3.5 and cmps 2.0rc.. I'm hoping someone can fix it
(if you want to find the module.. just download the 3.07 package.. its in there)

I'm missing the Donations section in my AdminCP. Did I miss something, or is this a problem due to installing on 3.50 RC3?

I also get this user when clicking options in my userCP...

I uninstalled the hack and the error is still there.

EDIT: reverted the modifyoptions template and it's fixed, but installing this hack is def. what broke it. :(

Yeah, theres a bit of a problem with the auto install routine, it tries to ammend the modifyoptions template for you, but unfortunately, messes it up a bit.

To add it in yourself in modifyoptions template

find:
add under:
That will give users the option back to display their donor status or not.

Hope that helps.

Thanks! Any ideas on the missing section in the admin cp?

For whatever reason, vB doesn't like products with the name "vBulletin", so you'll need to edit the xml file and change it to "vbulletin" to get it working :)

Thanks!

All set, working like a charm now. :)

Upgrading vBulletin from RC2 to RC3. Whenever I run donations_install.php, it only gives me the option to do a fresh install. No 'upgrade', 'uninstall' or any other options despite it currently being installed. I don't want to do the fresh install because I have a live fundraiser going, and it (for whatever reason, and without asking) dumps all the old data.

Looking at the install functions, I tried ?do=phrases, and templates (or temponly), forget which, and that got it all back online -- but now when I go into admincp (already changed the XML), I can't modify the settings which have been reset. I just get an empty options page.

Here's exactly the process I went through;

Upgraded vB from RC2 to RC3
Re-uploaded *all* the files from the .zip for this mod to their proper directories.
Did the file edits (including the XML)
ran the installer , and only got the fresh install option.
backed up the db
went fresh install (concerned there were no other options, hoping it would be smart enough to recognize the old install and data)
restored the db after realizing that it nuked everything
tried do?=phrases, do?=plugins, do?=templates -- that at least had the pages working again, but with default settings meaning any donation attempts go to sandbox.

Confused as to why I didn't get other options besides fresh install. Not sure what to do at this point to get this working again. Any ideas would be appreciated. At the very least, if I can just get the settings fields to come up in admincp (again, the buttons and links are there because I fixed the XML, but settings doesn't come up), then I can update all of that and this should be working again.

Installed 2.0.2b originally, using that again now.

--edit--

To clarity a bit, it's the admincp/options.php?dogroup=donations that's not working. Does anyone know how I can get that to bring the options page up? Near as I can tell, that's all that's not working at the moment, but since I can't change the default settings it stuck into my db, no one can make donations at the peak of an active drive.

I saw a note on Cloudrunner's forum that he's out of town for a few weeks related to Katrina -- so if *anyone* has a suggestion, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Managed to reinstall settings with;

admincp/donations_install.php?do=install&install=settings

Not sure why the installer doesn't/didn't recognize that I've already installed. But finally have everything working again.

has anyone figured out why upgrading vbulletin wipes out the donation settings and settingsgroup tables?

not sure why. but if u follow wcbryant's move, u cant go wrong. u might wanna take a look at the previous page about changing the xml file as well for the admincp navigation menu.

Has anyone seen this error messge:

how do i set my donation goal?

not working anything else?

i dont know if its me but the xml doesnt work?!?!

Cloudrunner, no support needed here, but I am curious of something. I assume you offer a subcription service as well? If so does anyone actually use the donation hack?

Hey folks, sorry bout the lag off on my part, it's due mostly to personal issues as well as being on the disaster recovery team with my employer, so I've spent quite alot of time "Down South" over the last month or so...

Anyway, they have given me a reprieve from travelling for awhile, and I've recently upgraded to RC3, However, I've decided to hold off from further development of this release until VB goes GOLD on 3.5. I'll still be working on it as we progress, but I'm not going to release anything, nor support the hack until I make the next release.

With the next release the system will pull in all previous information, but it will be a complete redo of it from ground zero again, as there are some pretty heinous bugs in the old system with the RC of vB.

I will update everyone when PPD is ready for release again.

I apologize in advance for any inconvenience that this decision may cause, but with everything that is going on, I cannot promise that I won't be on a flight tomorrow to recover and rebuild hospitals in Texas, Louisiana again as I have been over the last month.

I will keep you updated on progress better though.
