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
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.

OK this hack needs to be removed. I installed this yeasterday after I was looking for a paypal donation plugin which I endedup going with his newer product.
The second page of the install it came to a database error about phrases. As I went to uninstall it now I can now uninstall it as it never installed. But yet it shows up in my AdminCP as "PayPal Donations" I went and removed all of the files from the install but I do not know enough about databases to want to or be brave enough to want to go and remove tables from the database with out somebody informing me of what tables I can or should remove. I followed Sinsterpain's idea and tried uploading and install it again but same effect. To make things even worse is my backup admin installed vbulletin 3.7.0 last night comming from 3.6.8 so I dont know if those tables were overwritten or what. I would love to remove it from the AdminCP menu though. OK scrap this post I guess just wanted to keep it up / I went & over wrote all of the old files so I could find them easyer and removed the entire hack file for file now its no longer showing up in my AdminCP, I looked in the database and because it didnt install there are no tables in the database for it. I went and set up AWjunkie new paypal donation system and have considered purchasing the pro version. |

Other than that this has brought in alot of funds on my site Quote:

There are minor bugs still in this mod that need fixing. I would sugest to move over to a newer donation system if you are running VB 3.5, 3.6 or 3.7. AWcoding-Donation System has all the features of this mod and more.

I realize this hack is no longer supported, but I figure I'm going to ask a question anyway.
Does anyone know how you can keep the PayPal Donations tab from being viewable or accessible in the AdminCP for members you wish to add to the Administrator user group? I have Can Administer plug-ins set to no on the Advanced Admin permissions, but it still shows up in their ACP and they can view all the info. The only they they can't do is change the PayPal Donation settings. Any help will be appreciated. |
