Hey Bill. We are using your hack and we love it. While we are receiving donations, the donator will receive an error page right after submitting the donation. How is this controlled? Is it a paypal thing? or a setting?

That would most likely be a PayPal thing as all this hack does is direct the donater there. Once they are at PayPal, this hack does not have any effect on PayPal.

strange, everyone is telling me about this error. Where in paypal could this setting be? Could it be directing users to a non-exsistant page or something?

Try to get someone to capture a screenshot of the error and post it here and I will investigate it further.

I had someone donate me as a test, and it worked fine. It must be a paypal thing.

Where exactly is this error occuring?

Is it straight after you submit the donation on your site?

or is it after they have logged in and submitted the donation on PayPal?

Please post the error so we can see what we are dealing with. ;)

Hello vB.org

I have a problem, and its in the navbar, since im new to vBulletin i'll need some help how to correct this. I use a custom skin, and the problem is that the (Donate) text appear as silver/white when it should be the orange/red navbar style, how can i correct that? If its in the template manager, please be specific how i do.

Thanks.

In the donation settings in the admin CP turn the insert link off.

In the template manager you will need to add
to the navbar menu where you want the link.

Do a search for
And try puting it straight after that.

If the colours are messed up you will need to add the formatting tags to it just as they are on the other links in your navbar template.

I tried to recreate it, but there was no error.

Apparently, according to some, they told me that AFTER submitting payment inside paypal, it would somehow send them to a page on another site of mine. Why would it do this? Paypal setting?

Of course Zeus ;)

Sorry for this.

Where can i find my formatting tags, as them i use for my navbar?

There is absolutely no way this hack can do that. Once it goes to PayPal, it doesn't have any control. Did you try using rel="nofollow" in the link for the hack?

Style Options, most likely Extra CSS options. ;)

No, I can't use that since many users post urls.

Using it in that one link is not gonna affect your board, sir. And I wasn't referring to the hack for it, just adding it to the Paypal Donate button link. ;)

Thanks Sir lol I figured that out .12 seconds ago ;)

Do it work?

won't know until another user donates.

Well, it that's not it, then you have something else somewhere messing things up. This hack can't do what it is making you think it is doing.

I am receiving donations, so it's working. Just an error (sometimes) displaying to users.

Well, try to capture the error and we may be able to narrow down what is causing it. It isn't this hack, so at least we have a place to start from.

i noticed the error to but its not the mod its on paypals end... the mod really cant give a error from donating as its only really a form being used to submit the info...

There is a PayPal setting to send users to another URL once they have made a payment.

PayPal -> Profile -> Selling Preferences -> website Payment preferences

Make sure you either dont have autoreturn on, or if you do, that it goes to a valid page on your site.

You will need to look at the other menu links in your nav menu.

They will either have formatting tags or a class name.

You need to add that to the donations link code so it will use your custom formatting.

If you post the code for a couple of those links in your custom navbar menu here we may be able to tell you exactly what you need to enter.

I hope this is right, here's some of them:

<!-- nav buttons bar -->
<div align="center">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center" style="border-top-width:0px">
<tr align="center" style="height: 24px;">
<if condition="$show['member']">
<td class="topnav"><a href="usercp.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[user_cp]</a></td>
</if>
<if condition="$show['registerbutton']">
<td class="topnav"><a href="register.php$session[sessionurl_q]" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[register]</a></td>
</if>
<td class="topnav"><a href="faq.php$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="5">$vbphrase[faq]</a></td>
<td class="topnav"><a href="memberlist.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[members_list]</a></td>
<td class="topnav"><a href="calendar.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[calendar]</a></td>
<if condition="$show['popups']">

I forgot all about this. Now it makes sense. ;)

not sure what you changed from previous build but now its not 100% HTML compliant fixed alot on mine i have 2 left to fix

Can you share the fixed one with us here, sir, when you get it done? ;)

Yeah that looks like it.
You custom style is using a different name to the default one (vbmenu_control).
should do the trick.

So, If we want to have the link between your FAQ and Members you need to find
and change it to
Hope that make sense :)

Yes I neglected to check compliance on the last couple of updates :(

The upcoming one will be checked before release.

Thanks Billspaintball, that fixed the problem! :up:

Works excellent. Thanks for the good support! :)

Tested as working in vB 3.6.0 - Beta 1:banana:

I didn't read through the entire thread but is there an add-on to this mod that will give me a "register" of sorts? To keep track of who has donated and who hasn't.

Great work!

PayPal will send you a comfirmation e-mail :)

We have also used this mod with Moneybookers (safer to use than paypal) and they do the same :bunny:

CP Donors listing is a feature that will be in version 2.

I run a forum that uses a black background.
How can I get the currency symbol($) next the the box where you enter the donation amount to have a white font.

I was able to get the (Please enter your donation amount above,
and then click on the donate button below.) white by

<span class="smallfont"><font color="#FFFFFF">Please enter your donation amount above,<br />and then click on the donate button below.</span></div>

I just can't figure out how to get the $ white??

I am going to pull my hair out.
Thanks for any help you can give.

Goto the template manager in your vB cp.

In the template called billspp_main
find
And change it to

Great hack ... thank you for sharing.

One problem i'm having, and i've read this entire thread, and it seems to be just me ... but ... none of the images are being displayed ... paypal verified, donate, and cc icons. I've re-uploaded them all, to be sure, but that didn't help. I'm not seeing broken images, but alt text instead ... and in the case of the donate button, nothing is displayed.

Any suggestions please?

Thanks.
