Add-On Releases - Donation Progress Bar-Forumhome

What Donations Bar Is:
It is a simple way for Admins to show a donation progress bar on their forum home page with Admin set goals and donations recieved. Because the donation bar is a stand alone it can be utilized with any donation system your using. It adds more visability of your site donation goal requirements and donation button to your members for hopefully more through put in donations.

Can Be Used With:

• Any paypal/donate system.
• PayPal Easy Donate - vB 3.6
  
• Cyb Paypal donate
  Will auto update donor bar now, but must be set in donation bar options.
• Vb Subscriptions (Can be used as manual or auto updating)

This script adds:

1. 3 Plugins
2. 1 Template

Installation:

1. Import the product-donationbar.xml through admin cp
2. If you use Cyb-Paypal mod you must select it in vboptions->Donation Bar->Cyb-paypal set to yes.
3. If you use Vb subrcriptions you must select it in vboptions

Post Installation:
Make sure when entering the form code for your Paypal button the links are formated as follows:

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
 <input type="hidden" name="business"
      value="sample@sample.com">
                             <input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-butcc-donate.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!"></form>

If your using this mod in 3.6.10 or higher and your sending people directly to paypal instead of your donation page from the button you need to add the below or you will recieve the security token error on clicking the button

<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />

If you do not use this format for the links your button will not show. Please do not copy and past my info above you must fo to your Paypal account and create a button with your account code and email info.
If you wish instead of a paypal button link you can put the URL to your donation page.

Update Version:

• 1.00 First Realease
• 1.01 updated template to be more in line with default vbulletin style.
• 1.02 Added donation bar color to change to green when 100% or greater donations met.
  Also added version check.
• 1.03 Fixed the color of the bar to not show small piece of red bar on left. Edited donorbar
  template to fix broken donor bar box.
• 1.04 Added Cyb-paypal intergration in admincp donation bar options. Thanks goes to AWJUNKIES for the adddition.
• 1.0.5 Fixed XHTML missing tag. Added ability to enter vbsubscription amount through Admincp. Bar will display only 100% now and once reached will post a thank you below donor button if you have a thank you message set. Fixed the donorbar template to be in the template group and not part of vbulletin so updating updates the template.
• 1.0.6 Added Auto updating of the donor bar for Vb paid subscriptions
• 1.0.7 Added option for auto insert of the donation bar under navbar, you can now float the donation bar if you are using chatbox, option for selection of usergroups able to see donor bar, You have option to enter which page to display donation bar on or show on all pages. General code clean-up.

FORUMHOME template edit as its no longer required. Failure to do so will produce two donor bars on forum index page.

Just wanted to let you know it reset without me doing anything and changes as an eastern time setting. whatever you have as default for your site.

Please dled and test. Have had 10+ people try it without any issues. Sinister you have to test it on a real site.

Thanks

The form code box in the donation bar mod is if you wish to link to your paypal account directly or to your donor page using a paypal button. You do not need to edit anything in the cyb paypal mod. See the example above for the format of links but use your own paypal code info.

Is there still hope for a version that will support Bills Donations Mod? To me that is the more flexible of the two Mods....

For cyb paypal I put this in the Form Code for Donations Form

<form action="http://www.yoursite.com/forum/misc.php?do=donate" method="post">
 <input type="hidden" name="business"
      value="sample@sample.com">
                             <input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_GB/i/bnr/horizontal_solution_PP.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!"></form>

It may not be 100% correct syntax but it works for me

Oh, and you need to edit your forumhome template as per the install instructions at the top of the post!

Great Work!

Problem with Bill's Paypal mod and intergration is there is no data to retrieve all transactions are made directly to paypal's site.

Should not need this in the code if your linking to Cyb-Paypal mod

<input type="hidden" name="business"
      value="sample@sample.com">

Has any one integrated this within ibProArcade v2.6.5+ ?

I have tried inserting it into the ARCADE template but it just doesnt display

$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
<!-- no cache headers -->
<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache" />
<meta http-equiv="Expires" content="-1" />
<meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache" />
<!-- end no cache headers -->
$headinclude
<title><phrase 1=$vboptions[bbtitle]>$vbphrase[x_powered_by_vbulletin]</phrase></title>
</head>
<body>
$header
$navbar
$donationbar #I tried it here# 
<if condition="!$bbuserinfo[userid]">
$donationbar #I tried it here# 
$arcadeheader
<!-- small space -->
<span class="smallfont"><br /> 
</span></if>
$donationbar #I tried it here# 
$maincontent
</div>
$footer
</body>
</html>

Any ideas?

Thanks
