Valterrrrrr! love it man, thanks (((:

Did this ever get solved?

I'd like to use this mod for a major fund raising drive for a charity purpose, but want to make sure it's stable and functioning correctly before I install it and kick off a campaign.

I'm using 4.04 of vBulletin ...

Thanks ... :)

ps: Is there a better PayPal (or even adding Credit Cards) option (even commercial) out there that provides this kind of function and feature?

Anyone able to tell how to manually add the Donate button to the navbar please?

I installed another mod and this mod cause's this mod to display the Donate button twice when in a catagory. See attached screenshot.

I've disabled the donate button for now in options, but would really like to try adding it manually to if it just shows onces it entered manually.

Thanks in advance.

It would be cool if you could make the donation bar look a bit more stylish. It looks a bit too simple now in my opinion.
Great mod though. ;)

Just wondering if this is possible.

One question, do enable donor status, can you do it if they offer a certain amount, for example $20 they get it, but if it's less, they don'? is it also possible that people who are for example admins, if they don't, they don't get switched to donate rank?

Please tell me...

It would be great if this donation plugin talked to the PayPal IPN so that it could automatically confirm donations without having to do it yourself manually.

Oh oh ..... :eek:

I was about to go live with this mod and had assumeed it actually communicated with PayPal to process and acknowledge the transaction? :confused:

If that's not the case, then what is it for?

Anyone currently using this can clarify it for me?

Thanks. :)

Well, the alternative to this is to use the built-in Subscription service which goes through CCBill which takes 19% of the money and holds on to another 5% for 20 odd days ... PayPal take 2% and money is in there as soon as the payment clears. You can set it up to PM you when a payment is made, and check PayPal yourself, it's not ideal, but then neither is only getting 75% of the donation.

Did I mention that CCBill makes you register to Visa before they'll process Visa Payments?

Hmmmm ... :confused:

I've been using the regular built in PayPal subscription service for years and never had those kinds of amounts being taken off either end?

Where does one set the userid's or username's that are permitted to CONFIRM donations once the PayPal account has been checked and the transaction has been approved by them?

Is it only site Admins that can do this, or is there some setting in this mod that permits me to assign that task to someone else, such as the Treasurer of the donations fund?

Thanks for any feedback .. :)

Didn't mention CCBill at all from my knowledge, so I'm unsure as to where this comment came from. What I believe we are looking for is to have this donation system communicate with PayPal IPN so that when donations are made, this plugin can automatically confirm the money is in there and automatically take care of what you need it to do (wether that be giving people a new Usergroup or whatever).

the older version I used to use, had the ability to change the amount in the donation bar. We have members that pay directly and not through the system and it was great you could add or change the amount in the bar.

For some reason when someone does donate, it's not adding them to the donator usergroup I've set to their secondary usergroups.

What a freakin mess ... :(

I should have read more of the posts here and based upon those, tested more thoroughly before we installed this as a basis for a live charitable donations project for a 13,000+ membership due to start tomorrow ... :rolleyes:

For example ....

Set up as above and when Admin CONFIRMS payment, nothing happens. The user is NOT added to the secondary usergroup 17 and when you check his user name in the Admin CP, no checkmark appears for him to be a member of that user group. :confused:

Of course, I can go into the AdminCP and manually ADD every user to group 17 who donates, but what was the point of putting into the mod an option that doesn't work, or am I missing something else that needs to be set also?

Running vb4.04pl1 ...

Badger

Edit update: Tried the "Add to Donar Group" drop down box option and it puts the checkmark in the usergroup 17 when viewed under AdminCP, but the user rank associated with that user group never appears. If you hit SAVE for that user in AdminCP while the checkmark put there by this mod is showing, the user is now shown as belonging to that group and the banner for that group appears. Bizarre stuff ...

"Donate" Links is showing twice below the nav tabs. This is also happening for VSa Advanced Registrations for the "Invite Friends" link. When I have either enabled, it shows 2 in a row, and when I have both enabled, it alternates. For example:

Donate Invite Friends Donate Invite Friends

I have had to disable both, as I cannot figure out where this is coming from.

I have uninstalled one at a time, both in total, and upon re-installation, the issue is still in place.

Please help.

Enure that navbar hooks are not doubled in your style.

I can do that. Which hooks would I be looking for in the navbar template?, or where should I specifically be looking for the hook duplication? I am using the Default vB 4.x Style (on 4.0.8)

I've your same problem

thanks man !

I know you're busy, but what should I be looking for here? Need to figure out how to remove the doubling that is occurring. Thanks.

very nice, thank you so much. Maybe now I'll get some $$$

Any update as to exactly where I should be looking?, as I have not been able to find it.

Thank you. :confused:

Hook: navbar_end

Got it. MicroHellas Newsletter is causing the duplication. Thanks.

When a member donates it does not notify me. Nor does it add them to the right group.

Was there something wrong with me warning other members not to download and install a mod that clearly does not work? I don't think that's flaming, it's just warning other members so they don't have to go through the whole ordeal.

Yes there was!
If you cant setup simple hack just hire someone who can!
And dont spread your incompetent replies.

Since it has been installed sucessfully by over 800 sites, then TBH, you claim it "clearly does not work" holds very little credibility, and even if it did, the way you posted it was done in an ignorant and flaming manner. There is a right way and a wrong way to provide feedback, you took the later choice. If you wish to comment further then you are free to PM me, staff decisions are not up for public discussion.

I want to use this mod...however, I'm a bit nervous due to the complaints. Has Badger Dog's issues been worked out yet? I don't even see them being attempted to be addressed. Was he pm'd or something?

Anyway, this leaves an impression in my mind, that this mod isn't well supported. Can I get verification that it is working just fine on 4.0.8?

I have it running, but all PayPal interaction is manual ...

Second, there's an OLD bug in vBulletin that's been around since at least v3.6, where I first noticed it when using add-on ranks. Every time someone uses PayPal with this mod and then I manually add (confirm) them as being paid, it does check off the secondary user group, but the rank graphic for that group doesn't appear until you do one of two things.

Here's a separate post where I made a request for help, but so far haven't had any response.

Hope that helps ... :)

By the way, I'm currently running 4.04 ....

Yes this mod doesn't properly work in 4.08 for many users, including myself. It will do the basics of processing a payment, but automation to put users into proper usergroups and create payment and renewal logs no longer works and hasn't for a long time.

You may want to hold off on downloading until these issues are addressed, but again it could be any combination of things and particular hacks we all share that render this mod ineffective.

"The link you have used to enter the PayPal system is invalid. Please review the link and try again."

I think this thing fails.

error:

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in [path]/global.php(355) : eval()'d code on line 16

how do i fix this?

Its not showing up now that I upgraded to 4.1 PL2. Any ideas?

In statistics, the date of donations doesn't works.

Looks like: d-m-y

Simple, but effective. Thank you!

great mode :D

now installed and working like a dream

The status bar for donations received is not working.

Going to try this. Thanks!
