PayPal Donations For vBulletin 3.5.0 Details »» | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
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

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.

I have had enough, I'm taking this crap off my system.:down:
On my installation paypal doesn't talk with it properly so you have to manually add users who have donated.:down: It doesn't update the user list for different members of if the same member donates more than once.:down: It doesn't link the users avatar properly.:down: There's no option to change $ signs to ? signs in the text you cannot alter 'back office'.:down: Had to manualy alter the modifyoptions template.:down: I've searched through over 30 pages of this 'hack' it and still cannot get it to work properly.:down: Whilst I appreciate this 'hack' is no longer supported by the coder, it's no longer supported by me. It's a shame as what has been started is very good, just needs finishing properly to be a proper plug-in for the latest version of vbulletin.:down: |

It might work if you ask people to help you instead of posting that the hack doesnt work. While it is true it may not work depending on your particular boards configuration and what hacks you already have installed. But there are many users that do have it working and its the best paypal hack out yet IMO. If you wish me to help you out PM me. |

I have read through the first 30 pages on this hack and started to loose the will to live. The answers to my problems may be further down the line, but 96 pages worth?!? I followed the installation routine as detailed in the donations.zip file which I found iirc on page 10 having read what problems people were having. The problem I have with the $ sign is that when I donate in GBP, you get the follow message: "Your donation of $0.50 is greatly appreciated! Thank you again for your continued support. " I didn't think I donated $0.50 - that $ sign is not editable 'back office' I am curently running: Vbulletin 3.6.5 CMPS 3.2.1 I have a number of other mods including; iTrader HS - External Signature Image Size Limiter Imageshack Image Uploader Inactive User Reminder e-mails nCode Image resizer Rules page Links directory Everything seems fine on my installation except; when a member donates, the system fails to update on the donations page on my site. I can add that person manually, but then even though they have an avatar, the donate system says they don't. If anyone else donates, they again have to be added manually. Then if someone who has already donated, donate again, the system doesn't update this either. My papal account IPN setting is pointing to http://www.worldrallyforum.com/forum This is where ppvarify.php and donate.php are located. I don't expect a silver spoon and doen't expect every 'hack' to work seemlessly with everything else. I can change things around to suit if necessary but I'm not a coder. However, I would be grateful for the assistance. I had siad in my 'ranting' post, I do think that is a good hack, it just needs refining / proper support. Thanks Meady. |
