Awesome theksmith... you are my current hero.

This fixed up the problem i was having perfectly. Thank you.

Cyb...

Instead of having this mod automatically insert a link in the navbar and Quick Links menu, I opted to do the manual edits per your instructions.

Here's the issue. Both links...navbar and Quick Links appear where they are supposed to, except for the following pages:

• My Arcade page
• My New Posts page

Is there a reason why this is happening?

I tried to have the mod auto insert the links via the mod's options, but it didn't work for the navbar link. It only worked for the Quick Links link...but still...the donator's list link wouldn't show on the New Posts page, either.

I'm at a loss and would appreciate any help you have to offer.

Beware of this plugin. Someone found a way to donate without paying on my site. If you're using it to give some kind of service, always check Paypal.

Paypal has the ability to send back a confirmation of payment. I don't see why this plugin can't use it.

[MjrNuT]

Huh? This plugin is not responsible for someone knowing your paypal email to submit a payment. Its only able to track any payments that are done through its panel. Nothing more.

Using it for a service, was never a claim by CYB. Learn 2 read so that you understand what to expect and not toss crap at the author.

I thought I would just find in the phrases and edit. However, I found the following showing you already have it used? Is this related to my request?

I believe I figured this out. Depends on what goal basis is used: Month, Month w/ Custom Reset, or Year.

Cyb,

This is a standup plugin evidenced by all that have and are using it. I have some feature requests, but wouldn't want to have you change this one for its simplicity. Would you be willing to take some payment for development of a variant of this?

Thanks!

[sheep92032]

Actually it can. Hens the 'SUBSCRIPTION' option. Although this feature doesn't even work.

There is some valid sentiment in both posts.

This isn't the right way to present your hopes and dreams for a plugin. As the plugin stands, it does a good job and it works correctly. Plus it is both freely coded and freely supported so you should check your attitude at the door.

I do remember that there used to be a donation plugin that worked with Paypal's IPN service and I loved it because I did not have to manually check my paypal email and tick off the correct donations.

It would be awesome if cyb's did this, but I'm just happy anyone is maintaining a great solution for the newest version of vBulletin, and it works.

[KeyHunterz]

installed, works like a charm

[MjrNuT]

Subscription works just fine. If it didn't, then so many more ppl would have erroneously complained like yourself.

The prerequisite, as stated in the OP, is that the receiving Paypal account MUST be Premier/Business level.

+1 to nogerorob. As for the IPN, to me that is personal preference to setup.
