Without it, a donate button is nothing if the user doesn't know what the goal is or what the site wants.

This was designed as a basic one that does not make any database changes, hence no things that require databases to function correctly, such as goals in this version.

Its not designed to suit everyones needs, It's a basic one that is light and easy for anyone to install and use.

Its not a hard concept, its just designed for a different market that what you (or I for that matter) require.
Truth be told, its not the one I use on my own site, I have ported this from Vb 3.x to give me experience in Vb4 before I tackle anything more complex, more than any other reason.

If someone can code such a mod , I will install it right away, for now this is on my "tagged" list, because of the work the coder has done.

So well done mate. I hate seeing threads detract from what you have done, into begging messages for what they want.

Thanks

And thanks for bringing this point up.
Your spot on with the issue about how to deal with donations that fail for various reasons.

Its a little complex to get around this, as you have to get the response from the paypal webserver before the data is submitted into the database if you want to avoid false results.
This is also an important consideration if you want auto group changes for donors as well.

Its certainly doable, infact Its the way I receive donations on my live website. (Before anyone asks, its not polished, only has the features I want, and has a couple of bugs so was never released as a mod).

But thats getting off topic for this mod I guess.
