By default its set to show in certain areas only. I believe there is a setting for where you want it to show. Where did you want to put it? If its not a setting in the drop down of the op tons then you would have to have special code placed in a template of where you wanted it to be.

The date and time is not working for me in messages sent to donor and staff. It shows up as d-m-y, H:i instead of letters and numbers. My date/time settings on forum is set to d-m-y, H:i

I was using the CYB version for a couple of years and was glad to see this for V4. However, I prefer the collapsed donation bar as it was in the CYB version.

I made the necessary edits to the vsa_paypal_donbar template to reduce the height of the donation bar as much as possible. The result is in the attached screen shot. If you would like the modified template, I can send it to you or I can just export the modified product file and send it.

I like this hack but I wish it had autoconfirm, etc. like the subscription service does. I need to check the donations several times a day to make sure everything is acknowledged and people are added to my donor group.

Valter, is there a way to make it say the person's username when they send the donation?
like editing vsapaypal_payfor
and adding {user} or something?

Thanks alot! Love this mod

edit: nvm, I got it.

Is there a way to make this mod NOT show for guest users?

My VSa Donate got hacked and the paypal e-mail address was changed. I've looked in the Control Panel log and I only see my update today when I reverted the paypal address back to mine. This really scares me that someone was able to change the e-mail address without it showing up in the Control Panel log.

No comments at all from the developer? Guys this is a serious security risk. I had two donations go to the fraudulent paypal address before I realized what happened - I just thought I had two people who backed out before completing the transaction.

Not quite sure how it could have been hacked let alone the paypal email address changed unless of course it was one of your own administrators? I have been using this mod for a long time now and not one issue at all. Check the integrity of your staff would be my suggestion before checking the integrity of this mod.
