vbDonator by Mary
 

Got it installed. Needs a few tweaks for display etc, especially as every user is listed as donating $ even if they donated ? or euros etc.

A fix for that and a little clean up of the display would be wonderful :)

Dave

Just need to edit this...

<![CDATA[$]]>

..in product-vbdonator.xml ;)

hum, Maria, you decided to release it for free ?!... or you have a paid version with more stuff ?!

It's the commercial without the block with Top Donators that you can see at the upper center in the photo. Also in the commercial I'll add blocks for vBadvanced or PHP pages.

Excellent! Thank you, Mary. ;)

I got this errror upon instalattion please help.

I'm pretty sure it's not your hack. I got this trying to install a similar hack before. Could you still help me though please?

the mod looks good. but it would be nice if it supports all the additional currencies paypal now accepts.

Yes, it's not my hack but I know how to help you. You most probably have MySQL version before 4.1 which dosen't supports the command ENGINE.
So change:
ENGINE=MyISAM
With
TYPE=MyISAM

as I had in some lines above. Also better remove the ; that is after ENGINE=MyISAM

Maria

Just add them at vbdonator/includes/vbdonator_currencies.inc.php

How would I add donators to the list that have already donated before I installed this mod? thanks!

I found it, just needed to reload admin control panel. There is a new menu you can add right under vbulletin options...

are you going to leave this here now, or remove it again after several days like you did before?

I'm silly thanks!

@Gars with that attitude maybe not...

How would I include this in postbit under name in a post. Shows how much they've donated, but not show anything if they haven't donated.

Awesome thanks! :D

@GearTripper, please, with this kind of lame comment, i would suggest myself to Maria to cut off right now... instead of complaining, Donate to her work, of buy the full commercial version...

can this mod automatically adjust the person who donated to a different user-group?

the funny thing ... vBulletin have a complete Subscription System based on that idea...

not a lame comment at all... i've seen her release, and then remove her hacks multiple times. i don't mind at all donating for something where support will be provided. how many hacks has she released here and then taken away a week later... seven, eight? i've seen this one before and then poof, gone.

if you have complaints to do regarding her releases that spoof out, you have a link in the bottom of this page, named "Contact Us"... otherwise, you can contact her directly, or just pass by from time to time to see if her release is still there...

i have no complaints, just a question.

Depending on "you" (talking in general) my dear. I placed it here as I did with vbArticles and as I'm planing to do with all my mods...

• Without to ask for "Thanks.."
• Without to ask for Donations (hope that you understood that I wrote for fun my 1st post)
• Ready to answer questions and listen to suggestion

The only that I want in "excahnge" is respection to the time that I spent to develope it, respection to my age and most important respection to peace of my mind. I can't say that my nerves are so "stable" especially when I'm reading comments out of topic.

No, but I can add this feature as I did with my vbDigiShop. Thanks for the suggestion.

Is there a way to let a user donate a "custom" amount? This hack is beautiful, but I am a lot less likely to personally donate if I can't enter a custom amount (generally speaking) and I know a lot of other people are the same.

Thank you!

A semi-way to solve your problem is to modify vbdonator/includes/vbdonator_amounts.inc.php and add in the list all the amounts from 1-.....

Where do we send the IPN too

Actually the URL is cosmetic there. Really. PayPal just needs a URL to activate IPN. Then you can use as many script as you want with dirrefernt URLS, on different sites.
But if you want to add a URL here it is:
http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/vbdonator_gateway.php?method=paypal


Change the part on blue to your real URL.

I see .... Thanks.

Users can cause the page to not wrap by placing a long string of text in the donation message.

I second what ZomgStuff asked. Would it be possible to display donation total in the Postbit? I would like it to show up regardless of whether they donated or not and have the default set to 0.

Something else I've noticed as well: I donated once uploading my image. The second time I donated with the same username/e-mail and DIDN'T upload my image (assuming it would recognize and grab it) but it didn't. Would this be possible?

Good work Mary! I'm new to the vBulletin community (I bought it yesterday) and so far I'm very impressed with all the great pieces of work like this one that are out there!

php version 5.2.1
mysql version 5

I am getting this error message:

PHP Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in vbdonator_gateway.php

i have the vbdonator.php amd vbdonator_gateway.php file in the same directory as my forum index.php file

how do i fix this? the donations come in, but i never see them show up on the page unless i manually edit the database

also, can someone clarify exactly whats being said with the IPN thing? in mbmpayment i see this:

$url .= "&notify_url=".urlencode($vbulletin->options["bburl"] . "/vbdonator_gateway.php?method=paypal");

so isnt that essentially building the IPN 'callback'? are the posts above for calling the script manually?

would something like suhosin and/or eaccellerator affect this?

Could you maybe add a way for admins/supermods to be able to edit what members put in their messages?

Beautiful! Got it installed today and left a few suggestions on your forums!

Well done!

Can anyone confirm that IPN is working with this? I have IPN set up but have had to manually add each donation so far they don't show up anywhere but in my paypal account- the email (from vbdonator) is also not sent.

can you explain how you 'set up' IPN? did you check your apache error logs? i bet you are seeing the same thing i am about $this.

i bet if you looked in your database you would see them too.

i dont like way the amount given isnt stored anywhere unless the notify url is contacted. way too much of a potential for lost info.

I meant that I turned on IPN in paypal.... I think I will just use a different donations hack.

i got around my errors by changing the following line:

$this->transaction_id = $_REQUEST['txn_id'];

to this:

$transaction_id = $_REQUEST['txn_id'];

and now it works as expected

2 questions come up tho. 1, Why is $this used at all and 2, the variable transaction_id isnt used in the script at all. it seems that $transid = $_REQUEST["custom"]; is where the transaction ID is getting pulled from

either way its working, but these look like issues that could be cleaned up in the code unless i am missing something
