CORRECT!

Just to be safe I ask people to put www who don't know or understand.

Move what? Talking about donation bar? You turn off AUTO insert and use the variable $donation_bar it should tell you this in AdminCP setting option.

Some though may not have the option, I know if your on a hosted machine that you do not have control over and the host is set to htt://domainname.com then you can not change it and if you set www in options then things can messup.

Some may be able to submit a trouble ticket with the host to have there domain changed to http://www.domainname from there http://domainname and all is good

Thanks for further info I hope that helps some people who may encounter issues with this. I will update the install guide to better clarify for next release.

I'm having a problem with the navbar placement.
It appears the plugin does a str_replace of the FAQ for placement of $donation_link_menu,
but I have put my FAQ link into a menu of its own.
Is there any way to change this to utilize the $template_hook[navbar_buttons_left] ?
Since my FAQ is no longer in the primary navigation,when I use the auto placement,
it messes with the menu row.
no longer <td>FAQ</td>
is now <tr><td>FAQ</td></tr>

Look in the Donation System Plugin and edit the hooks to match your style. OR just manually add the variables to where you would like the menu to appear. This info is in the AdminCP.
