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.

As for the shipping I do have shipping charges enabled because I use that paypal account for my business. I thought it would only apply shipping if you specify it in the button? EDIT: Nevermind the tax issue. I charge tax on those in my state, and the donator just happen to reside in my state. |

Is it possible to show the top donors, but not display the amount they donated?
Like instead of the Total Donations amount being displayed it could say private? http://www.usamustangs.com/forum/alldonors.php? |

The only time donor is set to 1 is when paypal post back to your site confirming the donation was made then your donor is set to 1 as it should. The problem is one of an inconsistancy that occurs with fsock which is the method being used for reading and confirming the paypal transaction. This is not due to coding issues but more so problems in the paypal postback system with fsock. I am looking into it and will try to provide to methods of reading and posting back ie.. using either fsock or curl. The show donor being set to 1 is a selectable option for users and maybe is a problem why you can not see anything for the two donors you mention. Each user is given the option in their usercp if they wish to be shown as a donor. If they do not check this option they will not be visible in the donor list or have a donor button in their postbit. |

Ok I got it figured out. Had to update the option in paypal to allow individual items to have their own shipping.

does this mod have the option to choose between personal paypal account or premium
account? Some donor may use credit card to donate a personal paypal account. It would be nice you can switch between personal and premium/business paypal |

The donator can have a personal paypal account, business/premiere account or no account at all with paypal (they just use a credit card to donate).
But YOU must have a Business or Premiere account for this to work. It will not matter what kind of account the donator has. |
