Sorry Guys...I have disappeared from vB coding completely for the time being...RL is paying me $35/hour to ignore it lol. Hope you understand why I haven't been around... Paypal Donations For vBulletin 3.5 Version 2.02b Hack Provided and coded by )O( Cloudrunner )O( of The Noble Pagan. Release version: 2.02b Release Date: 03 July 2005 Change Log Paypal Donations 2.02
Special Thanks Special Thanks goes to the following people, without their support, this would never have happened: dsboyce8624 guvner SLeeeper And all of the Alpha Testers that helped out with this Hack! I couldn't have done it without you all, Thank you! )O( Cloudrunner )O( What Paypal Donations Is: Paypal Donations is a complete system that controls donations and how they are received via backend interfacing between your vBulletin server and Paypal's payment gateway server. The beauty of this marriage of servers is quite simply automation of the donation process as well as security of the transactions for both you, the administrator, and your users. With the Paypal donations system installed on your forums, you will be able to bring in that much needed income to not only keep your forums alive, but also to help defer costs of doing so to the users of your site without having to bug everyone and beg for money.This seamless integration of Paypal as your backend payment processor not only provides your user with a well known and safe payment processor, but you are saved the hassle of opening a merchant account with your banking institution as well as saves you time in the process as it takes only a few short minutes to sign up with Paypal if you are not already an account holder there. System Requirements OS: vBulletin 3.5 (if you are running this already, then your server has the required installation, GD libraries are required, as well as CURL capabilities for this system to work) Things To Do Before Installation Direct File Edits To vB Resident Files: 1 (needed to group templates in AdminCP)File Uploads: 34 (Of which 18 will be deleted after installation, leaving a total of 16 Files on your server) Direct Database Queries: None, the installer does these for you Direct Plugin Installation: None, the installer does these for you Direct Template Modification: None, the installer installs all new templates, and modifies the resident templates as needed The uninstaller will remove all modifications (to include the templates) should you decide to remove the system from your server. How To Install / Upgrade Paypal Donations Installation and Upgrading are as easy as a human like me could make it. Simply upload all the files from the archive to your server keeping the folder hierarchy intact and then point your browser to the installation file. On most servers it will be one of the following:
If you ever decide to remove the system, just upload the install files and folder again and run the installer and choose uninstall. The uninstaller will remove any and all modifications that it did to your files, database, and templates automatically as well. Its as easy as you can get! Time to install: less than five minutes depending on your upload speed. Steps To Perform After Installation
License Quote:
Final words You will need to add a link somewhere in your navigation system for vBulletin pointing your users to the donations page (if you installed the vBadvanced Module then you have a link on the home page, but you might want to add one in the nav bar as well), as well as setting up your paypal account to give IPN responses to you, you can do this in your Paypal Profile under Instant Payment Notification. To play in PayPal's Sandbox you will need to be registered with their developer network and setup a few sandbox accounts to play with the sandbox properly. I have throughly tested the sandbox functionality, and it is working until they decide to change coding standards again. I sincerely hope that you enjoy this hack, Please feel free to send feedback to tnp@noblepagan.com ! Thank you!)O( Cloudrunner )O( P.s. Should you feel the need to donate to me in thanks, I will not stop you  , in fact I will say thank you and that your support is greatly appreciated. If you do donate to me for this hack, I will give the recognition here as well as on The Noble Pagan.

Wow, all that work of installing and uninstalling, just trying to get it working and the problem all along was the uppercase letter (vBulletin) in the "cpnav_paypal_donations.xml", now it's all makes sense and is working like it should work. Actually it's a pretty nice plug-in, once you get it working. Thanks very much for your help on finding the problem. JoeWho

Hello,
Like I said, if everyone read the posts in this thread, they could get it to work. I was pmed several times asking how I got this working. I posted the fix that "I READ" in this thread AGAIN even though it was already posted. So I wasn't assuming. I knew the answer was in the reading because I myself posted it once. I didn't say exactly where it was because I don't have time to find it again to post the link to it. When there are 18 pages in a thread and 100 installs, it is very safe to assume that the problem you are having installing this is either human error, or the answer has already been posted. If after reading the entire thread the answer isn't here, and you are certain it isn't human error, then you post the question. The real problem is that most people don't bother to read all of the posts, they skim them. Then they say they read the whole thing and the answer isn't there. The acp problem has been answered and posted 2 times that I am aware of. So there is no way that it was read like people are claiming. So tell me, where did I assume?

Hello,
Triple, this isn't made by me. This was made by cloudrunner. If I could update the first post, I would have done so a long time ago. This hack isn't in beta either. It works just fine. The biggest problem was the acp. Once everyone renamed the "vBulletin" to vbulletin, it appeared. The uninstaller doesn't work. You need to drop the tables yourself. That was also noted in previous posts. Cloudrunner needs to update the hack and correct the uninstaller.

Stop back peddling, you screwed up and you know it. Like I said before you should have just pointed us to it and step back. You know what the real problem is? People who forget where they came from. Arrogance is like cheap clothes, they never fit right. Regards Don

I'll admit my fault, since I share blame in this whole cluster****. In my ignorance, I did not rationalize that I had to open up the xml file and fix the case-sensitivity of the "vBulletin" line. However, I did read that post several times... I was just reading too much into what the original poster was trying to say. :nervous:
That said... when all was done and said, I installed this hack again and it works beautifully! Granted, it's a beta version... but as of right now, the install works without any issues. I even tested it out by sending cash through it to my PayPal account. So thanks to the author of the script, and to all of those who helped me get through the aneurysm I was creating for myself. :laugh: Now... back on topic... can anyone, please, point me in the direction to alter the following text. Once on the donate page, viewers see "How To Donate" with "We use PayPal as our processor for all donation transactions. You do not need an account with them to donate." I'm curious to how I can modify that specific text (in italics). Can someone tell me which template, file, etc I need to edit? It would be greatly appreciated! Again, thanks to all who helped... and I hope there is no bad blood between anyone in this thread. It would be a shame to train-wreck this thread, when we can all try to help each other get these installs working. My apologies to anyone who I may have offended.

It is still assumption as Frank and my problem still exists. And the forums/ppverify.php isn't working either.
