for some reason I don't get the menu option on admincp and i allowed all the steps correctly.
How do I add the donations?

I've seen this question asked 2 or 3 times in this thread, but no one has really come up with a solution. It would be nice to upgrade the donor's usergroup after they donate, like to a special membership level, ie more privileges, etc. Can someone figure this out? Thanks.

That would be nice, you could just add them to a speacial group yourself

While I agree that would be nice, it's very unlikely to happen as there is no support for this hack. I'm sure it's feasible to do because the built-in subscription function in vBulletin will do it.

If this is an upgrade, why did it automatically delete all of my previous donor records (from 3.0.7).

Also, can anyone suggest what I should be checking if my CMPS module gives me a blank page whenever it is enabled?

Thanks!

It is one of the problems with the upgrade script, it actually does uninstall the tables you need.... ask the ever silent cloudrunner why it does that by design, we are still hoping there is some good coder out there that can update a few probs with the way he has done things.

Of course, you backed up your database before you upgraded... so its easy to restore your users goals and buttons to their former glory:

Read this thread which tells you which tables you need to restore:

If you didn't backup your DB before your upgrade, well your a bit up the creek.

If you are getting a "white page" when you click on your donations link
Reinstall the templates (there is an option to reinstall templates, if you run the install script iirc)

The VBa CMPS module was only for 3.07. Cloudrunner did not include a new updated version for this newer version.

Another member however got the functionality to work,

You may need to go a bit back and forward from post #370, as i remember there were a couple of problems but all fixed around there.

Head to /forum/includes/xml and edit cpnav_paypal_donations.xml

Replace with:
For anyone installing for first time, I would reccomend installing the Plugin version of this hack, and doing the template changes manually.
(its much safer this way!)

Thanks for the response!

OK, so I have a backup of the databases, I can restore them (I'm actually doing this on a test BB to work out all my 3.0.7-3.5.1 problems).

I am still having a problem with the CMPS module. I checked the settings, and repasted the templates as per post #370, but every time I enable the module I only get a blank screen. As an FYI, when I load donate.php I do get the script to run, so I know the script itself is not the problem, it just seems like CMPS is screwed up.

This is my first non-standard module for CMPS after upgrading to 3.5. Does anyone have any suggestions for what I should check? I have no idea how to troubleshoot CMPS module problems.

Thanks!
