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
License Quote:
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.

Just installed on 3.6.7 installed just fine and set up just fine. I had another one up but deactivated it and added this one because of the goals and listing the donors. Now I am not sure it if will actually work but I will see as soon as I get another donation, lol.
My questions are.... 1. Is there anyway instead of having just the donate button, a field could be there with a preset amount that they could easily change and then it would transfer it to paypal? (This is what was done on the other one and I like that much better). 2. Also is there a way to create a field so the donator can leave a comment that will get sent with the payment (not show up on the donation list but just sent with the payment notice that I get in my e-mail) Paypal buttons have different options you can add for that but I could never figure it out on the other mod. 3. When this sends the donation does it also include the username of the donator in the e-mail when payment notification is received? 4. I had to add some donors that had donated from the other mod, they show up fine and all but is there a way to get that amount that was donated added to the donation goal I set up? Thanks for any help you can give! It's working great (that I know of, lol). I did try searching but it's late here and my eyes are crossing from sitting too long at the computer!

1. When you create your button you can set the amount you wish if you leave the button at 0.00 the donor can donate what they wish for an amount. All you need to do is create more than one button for various amounts.
2. If you set up your paypal account you can add the feature to allow members to put notes. When the donation is made any notes can be viewed in the admin CP=>Donations=>valid transaction info. 3. No it does not. It uses the user's email address and their ip to grabe the data from the user table. 4. All you have to do is make sure that each button that is created is assigned to the goal. This is done through the admin cp create the goal then go to your button and assign it. Hope that helps

1. Yes that is what I have done, but I was wondering if it is possible instead of having them fill it out at Paypal, if it could be inputed on the donation form before it is sent to paypal, like the other one does.
2. My paypal account has been set up for several years now. Never saw an option to do that. By any chance do you know where that would be done at? I thought it had to actually be put in the paypal button code (at least that is what it says on paypal). 3. Well crap, LOL! 4. Yes I have that set up, but I am talking about donors that donated before this was ever installed. I had to manually add them via add donor with the amount but it did not reflect it within the goal amount. Thanks for helping me!

I use both of those as well, and just now installed the vBadvanced CMPS Donations Module Add-On from above and it installed and works just fine. What was it doing or not doing for you to say that it does not work?

Ok go to admincp >>> vba CMPS >>> Edit Modules >>> Donations, Edit
Check the option for clean file output. Is it on or off? If it is on turn it off. If it is off turn it on. Check with both. Reason I say is some (alot of threads) back were saying that they had to turn it on to show. However, when I turn it off it shows and if I turn it on it doesn't. However, I just noticed this with the add on module for vbadvanced: Ok after I added the vbadvanced addon module, it all works fine, however, when you are viewing the forums index and click on the title of one of the latest posts, I get this: Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/usmchan/public_html/msg/modules/donate.php:47) in /includes/functions.php on line 2785 Any idea what I can do to fix this That is how I know that if I turn on clean file output it won't show because after I got this error I searched threads and it said to turn it on. I did, and I stopped getting the above but then I had the same problem you do, lol. Maybe someone can help with the above error as well....?

I think it is going to be in your adv_portal_donate template but I am not for sure on that, you may also have to edit the 2 additional templates it calls for. I am not really sure as I have not played around with that part yet. But I would copy those templates before editing that way if you do mess up, you can copy the original content back into it.
