Did this ever get solved?

I'd like to use this mod for a major fund raising drive for a charity purpose, but want to make sure it's stable and functioning correctly before I install it and kick off a campaign.

I'm using 4.04 of vBulletin ...

Thanks ...

ps: Is there a better PayPal (or even adding Credit Cards) option (even commercial) out there that provides this kind of function and feature?

Anyone able to tell how to manually add the Donate button to the navbar please?

I installed another mod and this mod cause's this mod to display the Donate button twice when in a catagory. See attached screenshot.

I've disabled the donate button for now in options, but would really like to try adding it manually to if it just shows onces it entered manually.

Thanks in advance.

It would be cool if you could make the donation bar look a bit more stylish. It looks a bit too simple now in my opinion.
Great mod though.

Just wondering if this is possible.

One question, do enable donor status, can you do it if they offer a certain amount, for example $20 they get it, but if it's less, they don'? is it also possible that people who are for example admins, if they don't, they don't get switched to donate rank?

Please tell me...

It would be great if this donation plugin talked to the PayPal IPN so that it could automatically confirm donations without having to do it yourself manually.

Oh oh .....

I was about to go live with this mod and had assumeed it actually communicated with PayPal to process and acknowledge the transaction?

If that's not the case, then what is it for?

Anyone currently using this can clarify it for me?

Thanks.

Well, the alternative to this is to use the built-in Subscription service which goes through CCBill which takes 19% of the money and holds on to another 5% for 20 odd days ... PayPal take 2% and money is in there as soon as the payment clears. You can set it up to PM you when a payment is made, and check PayPal yourself, it's not ideal, but then neither is only getting 75% of the donation.

Did I mention that CCBill makes you register to Visa before they'll process Visa Payments?
