But i'm a owner of my website and i have a other usergroup id.
And with my account i can not see this option in this PayPall Hack.
How can i shut down this for a administrator and activate it for my usergroup id ?

You need to look and read very carefully the options for this plugin. It has the ability to set what Usergroups can use the donate plugin, as well as for Admins or others, what access to it.

What happens after the subscription expires?
Do members automatically get charged again?

Do I need to approve them again?

If they cancel their subscription, does the usergroup change?

For subscriptions, they only work if the user has a premiere or Business level paypal account. That is stated by CYB.

If a subscription expires, assuming all other prerequisites, then yeah...no more charging... It's not the plugin that would do it afaik, it's what already got setup in the user's paypal account.

So once they are confirmed and moved to their usergroup, they are there forever regardless of the terms?

I'll have to manually change their usergroup?

The donation bar is very useful.
Since I am manually confirming payment, maybe I should just use the subscription function at the same time?

This plugin is a great tool. It was meant, imo, to be somewhat manual on purpose. This is because dealing w/ money can be quite sensitive.

Having to manually APPROVE a donation is the best way to go. Why, b/c anytime someone actually picks an amount and goes to be prompted for logging into Paypal, DOES NOT MEAN a payment was finalized.

A user can just close everything down for any reason. CYB's plugin activates no matter what after this step. It logs the donation, but is UNCONFIRMED. An admin should never Confirm a payment that they have not received, right? So in my mind, this is a good control of what is going on.

As for swapping automatically to a usergroup....I'm sure it works fine initially. But the case of remove/readd requires then a feature of setting some DURATION b/t donations. Kinda weak if you really want that imo, but i'm not one to know exactly what your people's needs are there. Just pointing out that some automation is not really the best in everything.


I'm not the coder, but I'm a fan of his and thought I'd chime in w/ my experience to try and help.




Now to CYB for a Feature Request ---

Would it be feasible or possible to implement a method of manually adding a donator and their amount?

My example reason: Had a donator send me funds directly, they did not use our site. We really need to track all amounts so that the meter is not "misleading", by accident in this case of course. Also, to properly show whom was the contributor.

I had to request the person to trick the PayPal system as I described above. He logged in, picked an amount, and then stopped. This got his name properly in the list w/ his amount.

Thanks!!
