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.

try removing this Code:
$vbulletin->db->query_write("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS ".TABLE_PREFIX."donation_buttons"); then $vbulletin->db->query_write("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS ".TABLE_PREFIX."donation_currency_exchange"); then $vbulletin->db->query_write("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS ".TABLE_PREFIX."donation_goals"); then $vbulletin->db->query_write("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS ".TABLE_PREFIX."donation_paypalipn"); |

If I do that, then I get:
Database error in vBulletin 3.5.1: Invalid SQL: CREATE TABLE donation_buttons ( id int(255) NOT NULL auto_increment, goalid int(255) NOT NULL default '0', amount decimal(10,2) default NULL, Does the current script delete the following: User table donor and showdonor fields Donation_donors history (old donations) If it only deletes the goals and buttons, I will run the normal install and recreate those. I'm just concerned about whether it touches the data in the User table or the donations table. Let me know if you agree with this approach. Thanks again! |

Sorry, I read this entire thread a month ago and forgot that someone had release the XML installer. I used that, made MissKalunji's edits to clear the IF EXISTS DROP nonsense, and everything is working properly.
Does anyone see any reason why I can't add a date-time timestamp column to the donation_donors table? I want to record when the last donation for a member was taken. What will happen when someone who has already donated comes and donates again? Will it just increment the time? I have it set to a timestamp value, so I know it will set it properly, I am just wondering what will happen when I get a second donation from someone and it has to edit the record. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks! |

For some reason my refunds show up as invalid transactions. I know this is not supported anymore. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm also having the same problem. I have my goal and my donate button and still nothing is happening. The users donate and i get my e-mails but nothing ever makes it back to my site. I have IPN turned on and i have a premiere account. I can't understand what the problem is.
