What Donation System LITE Is:

Thanks for updating the guide. I was wondering if there is any way of hiding goal progress bar and leaving only "Donate" button?

Yes two ways you can do it.

#1 go to donationsystem_bar template and delete out:
$donation_bar_style
or
<!--$donation_bar_style-->

#2 go to Donation System Plugin Navbar/Bar and delete out:
$donation_bar_style="<table class=\"tborder\" align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"$stylevar[cellpadding]\" cellspacing=\"$stylevar[cellspacing]\" width=\"500\"><tr><td align=\"left\" nowrap=\"nowrap\">$donation_bar_imag</td></tr></table>";
OR ADD //
// $donation_bar_style="<table class=\"tborder\" align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"$stylevar[cellpadding]\" cellspacing=\"$stylevar[cellspacing]\" width=\"500\"><tr><td align=\"left\" nowrap=\"nowrap\">$donation_bar_imag</td></tr></table>";

This is a great product and i can recommend it to anyone that needs a good donation system.

I have one problem though. When i installed the mod it automatically put a link in my navbar with a drop down menu, i like the feature but it doesnt fit in with my other links. How can i change this? All my navbar settings are stored in the header template but there is no reference to this link. If i could just find the code for it then i should be ok.

It uses 3 hook methods for navbar and header that work with 80% of the styles out there. So for the ones that it doesn't work I highly recommend just changing one of the hooks to meet your style and you are golden.

Go to plugin:
Donation System Bar and Menu

You will see ALL the details there and what to change it is quite easy if you are familiar with VBulletin if not I can help you further.

I gotta say AWJunkies...

I LOVE this! I bought the pro version yesterday. Alot of options compared to my old donation systems. Helps keep me organized as to who did what with alot less manual labor.

You guys really thought of everything. Can't wait for your other 3 add-on's to come out.

Thanks AWJunkies for getting back to me, the support for this mod is fantastic.

I've altered the plugin System Bar and Menu to reflect my style and its just about spot on except for one thing, the little down arrow is below the text and i'd prefer it to be next to the text. I changed the text from Donation to Donate thinking it might be because the word was too long but no joy.



This is what i changed...

$donation_link_menu='<td id="navbar_donation" class="css_nav"><a href="'.$DS[setting]['payment_home'].'donationsystem.php?do=donation">'.$DS[word]['donation_navbar'].'</a><script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("navbar_donation"); </script></td>';

First off do your other selections use the arrow? You can turn off the arrow all together by doing this:

vbmenu_register("navbar_donation", true)

Set it to ",true" and it will remove the arrow. I presume your style does not use the drop down icons. If it does I will chime back in so check and test what I showed. I will need more info from you and your style if this is not what you want.

Yes you are right it doesnt use the icons. setting 'true' has done the trick and everything seems to be working perfectly. Thankyou for your help.

glad to hear.

I don't have a problem with my navbar button, but the drop-down menu.

Take a look at it vs the other drop down menus.

click on the ambience style. You can't really tell with the darker style.
