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.

If this is directed towards me, then yes I do have it working on 3.5.4 which is a the moment a purely developmental site until I port from my current system. As I noted I am not a coder and very inexperienced with VB. But I do have developers working for me who have gotten this to work. Unfortunatly the code is heavily intertwined in to other routines so it is not something I can just simply post for everyone. What I am trying to do is not only get a deeper understanding of VB but also trying to help get this to work for others by sharing what I can of the pieces of code I can extract and hopefully with those that are more experienced make heads and tails of what I have and pull it all together. For me at the moment the templates are my first attempt of understanding VB. We all have to start someplace.

To be honest I really do not know if the problem was there fromt he get go. I installed 3.5.1 and watched 3.5.2 & 3.5.3 released. Watching the bug reports I knew 3.5.4 was relatively close and decided to code freeze my site there and start development. My developers preform updates and test while I decide what is to be added based on duplicating my current system and new feature sets that are needed/wanted. So this kind of got wraped in to a few things instead of the stand alone function it is intended to preform.
So for now will work on the templates and will try to move forward from there and isolate the code causing problems and go from there. |

Two days ago, I upgraded our vBulletin from 3.5.2 and 3.5.4. I'm sure this is why our donation page is now blank. Keep in mind, I wasn't the person who originally installed this plugin so I really have no idea what I'm doing. Since I'm the one who upgraded the board, I should be the person to fix the problem. Could you please tell me what I need to do (edit one of my vB files) so I can fix this problem? I'm assuming that the person who installed this plugin edited a vBulletin file. When I reuploaded the new vB v. 3.5.4 files, they overwrote the old files. |

I quit and I give up. After upgrading to 3.5.4 and reinstalling this paypal hack from scratch I'm still not seeing the members who make a donation. Now one last question to put this +++++ to rest. I'm trying to uninstall it and I get this error:
