For those of you having trouble adding the donation link to your navbar, here is the complete code line to insert after your existing button codes.

The directions given by the author or this hack, were a bit unclear and incomplete. At least for a code newb like myself anyway.

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="usercp.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$cyb_paypal_donate_link</a></td>

That worked great

Thank you!

This worked for me as well on a 3.6.12 forum.

Hi,

After installing this on my forums the money doesn't seem to be making it to my Paypal account. Any ideas?

Everything else works like a treat, it just never sends the funds..?

That is because the users do NOT actually follow through with the payment. I get 1 out of 100 that actually donate. Everyone else just clicks it to see what will happen.

Thanks Mick, I just followed through the whole system and it does indeed work.

Cheers!

I have installed this, have received a few payments.

The donation bar is enabled, but does not update or show any donations made.

Does anyone please know what I might be doing wrong?

Site is here

[r0dman]

Cybernetec, thanks for a great mod. It's working perfectly.

The only request or suggestion that I could make is - part of making a donation is that my users get a user title of "Donating Member". In order for them to get this, I have to manually "Update User Titles and Ranks" in the Maintenance section.

Is there a way that it could all be done at the same time when confirming and adding to the donator group?

Thanks.

[imk]

can someone show me the code i need to enter into my navbar for the link to appear please?

[cs347]

Why do I click paypal donate listing, it brings me to smilies?

[jderouen]

Is there a way to give the donators an option to be anonymous?

I love this mod, and everything works great! I'd just like to give my users the ability to be anonymous, while still maintaining the list of donators for those who want their donation made public.
