That worked! Thanks to the both of you for helping me out.

I just hope that it doesn't affect the way the hack works in terms of processing future donations.

It did require removing both phrases in order to remove the Total Donations column.

donations_all_donors

AND

donations_all_donors_bits

No it will affect the mod from getting your paypal info posted.

Ok now another problem. I have had 2 donations so far. One went through fine (other than it added shipping and handling which I took care of) and then lastnight I had someone donate, but it did not update her already donated amount or apply it to our goal. So I looked and her donation is in the invalid transactions. Why would this be?

Are you saying that it won't be able to retrieve the paypal info?

How do I fix that? Because I need this mod to work properly, but I do not want the amounts donated displayed.

Thanks.

My wording was incorrect, I meant to say no it will not affect the mod.

I know it will update the goal and her previous donation total if there was not a problem as I have members who have donated more than once without an issue.
Did the transaction go through your paypal account OK?
Did the member make two donations within the same day or week, month or how long.

oh ok...thanks again.

Does anyone know if this will work with the latest vbulletin version? or v.3.6.2

Thanks

Yes
if you have fsock on for postback from paypal

Here were her comments to me:
BTW ... your link on the site didn't take me right into paypal like it did last time. It only showed your email address and that you were verified. Then when I went to make a 'payment' (option at the top of my page), your email address was not in my pull down bar (even though I had made a payment to you prior). I had to navigate back to the verified page to find it. Maybe you could put up another link that will provide the direct payment option like you had last time as well so others wouldn't give up if they're considering donating?

I am thinking that maybe instead of clicking the donate link, she clicked the verified seal maybe? I don't really know. I checked my paypal account and it shows complete. But in vbulletin it list it as an invalid transaction, even though it shows the amount and the fee paypal takes out along with her comment from above when you select that invalid transaction and view the details.

So is there anyway now to change it from an invalid transaction to a valid one so it will update her donated amount plus add to our goal?

That I see when going to your site is that the paypal button does not immediately show as being a clickable object as the verify seal is. It shows as a golden arrow. It appears that the header above is overlapping into the paypal template or you modified the paypal template and its creating a possible problem.

Yep sinisterpain, thats the point. Sorry, my last post hasnt said that clear enough ;)

I will fix that along with some added features

The only template I modified was the donations_bits to allow my donors to add a note.

Well I just now modified that template a little more to allow them to input the amount before being transfered to paypal, put the new field and button below the description instead of to the right of it, and I also made the verify seal unclickable and instead added a link to that phrase. I still can't get the actual button to look like it is clickable, even though it is. I am pretty sure now as she has e-mailed me back that she did click on the verify seal at the bottom there.

So maybe now this will make it less confusing. Just glad it was not actually this mod that did it, lol. Whew.

Ok now is there anyway to make her invalid transaction a valid one?

Just add them through the admin cp "add donor" you will have to update the goal it does not do it right now but I will fix it shortly. looks like posible java script to change the pointer

Okie Dokie. Also one more thing. On my all donors page, it is only showing the first 3 top donors instead of showing all donors (I have 4) it is also the same way on the CMPS block (only showing 3). I have the options to show top 5 donors (obviously it is not) but also on the all donors page shouldn't it be showing all of them?

I just upgraded to 3.6.8 so I don't know if that had anything to do with it?

It should not.
Make sure your donors select in the usercp->edit options they check to be shown as a donor. If they do not they will not show up on your donor pages.

Ok that may be why it is not. I will ask her.

I just realized that I never put that option back after I reverted the template. Just added it back but I am assuming it kept her origional answer? I did not re-add it to postbit or memberifo template because I have an additional usergroup for donors that they can join to show a donor image next to their name in both of those places.

Please read a few threads back to resolve your DB error

Just to be clear, because right now it neither add donors when they donate, or update the goal - is it working at all?

Works fine on 3.6.8.
Here's mine: http://www.usmchangout.com/msg/donate.php
I also have the vbadvanced block installed and working on the front page
http://www.usmchangout.com/msg

Make sure that you have added a goal to each button and that the buttons and goals are active.

Yes everything was setup up. now i swear i didnt touch it, but after 2 more donations it suddenly started working ^^

I'd really like such a donation block on the front of vbulletin FORUMHOME, add it like a global announcement in the top, but doesnt seem to be any mods out there that do that?

Same question here. Anyway to add a block which shows the percentage of donations on the forumhome?

If you search the 3.6 mods I have created a generic forum home donations bar , percentage, etc . find it here

How can I uninstall this properly? Using the uninstall method via AdminCP Product management, does not work.

It leaves "showdonor" in many places in the db. I've uninstalled, upgraded to vb 3.6.8, and as a result, trying to modify options in the usercp results in the error:

And if I try to uninstall via the .php file, this is the error I get...

Can someone please help me remove this hack from my board? It's really screwing things up.

The product xml for Paypal donations has an uninstall for the field showdonor in the user table. You can not use the authors php set up files for uninstalling or installing this Mod.
If you uninstalled the paypal mod through the admincp->manage products it should have removed the field.

In the xml code that you installed the mod with has the following for uninstalling the showdonor
So are you sure you did it properly.

Well, all I did was click "Uninstall" on this hack from the admincp - manage products screen. It is no longer there, but it still has a couple tables there.

If I run the query manually, that should do the trick?

If so, what is the exact query I should enter to run?

FYI, I did go into the vb db via MyPHPAdmin, looked up the user table, but did not see "donor" and "showdonor" there at all.

Did you remove the field in usercp for showdonor?

I don't understand...there is no usercp table in vb. If you are referring to the user control panel, I'm not sure I follow...how can I remove "anything"? Are you referring to a template? If so, there is no showdonor text anywhere in any template.

Wayne Luke from vb.com, says that this error means that there is code trying to reference the fields and they do not exist in the database. And that I need to remove that code or add the fields. But I have no clue where this code exists.

Go to your usercp in your forums there should be a field that is filled out in edit options to be shown as a donor if checked you are shown on the donor page if uncheck you are not shown

It's not there. There is no "donor" field in the usercp profile or options.

You can check for yourself...here's a test account:

name: llama
pw: llama

I figured it out with help from a tip from vb.com. I had to manually go through possible plugins and find the culprit and delete. There were still plugins from this hack installed, I removed them, and everything is ok. Thanks for the help though. ;)

would this work for 3.5.8?

I'm getting the following error when importing the product. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling a few times with no luck.

plugin/products->manage products->add/import product->product-ppdonations.xml
I have installed this on 3.6.4 through 3.6.8

If you actually looked instead of using your canned response you would see that something is wrong for me. Well, I guess I'll have to search for my answer elsewhere. Thanks for trying.

I couldn't get it to work for me ether, I just installed a different paypal donation hack from vb.org There has to be at less 5 or better of them going around, I'am using Cyb, worked for me..

I have the Cyb posted on my site now but my users are looking for a way to show who's donated. So it's really no biggy if I can't get this working but doesn't hurt to ask right? :)

This Mod Works Great Installed/Running on 3.6.8
