What Donation System LITE Is:
Donation System LITE process', monitors, records donation payments. Donation System LITE will allow site Admins full control over their donations, with the ability to track monthly or yearly goals and perform multiple searches from your admincp.

Donation System LITE is a complete system that controls donations and how they are received via backend interfacing between your vBulletin server and a payment method gateway server. The beauty of this marriage of servers is quite simply automation of the payment process as well as security of the transactions for both you, the administrator, and your users. With the Donation System LITE 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 any payment method as your backend payment processor not only provides your user with a well known and safe payment processors, 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 current allowed methods of payment if you are not already an account holder there. It also keeps your users and you the site owner informed on the status of payments with its notification system built in.

My Testimonial:
"In a world where ad's just aren't enough, here comes AWCoding with a professional, easy to use, and SO versatile system! I've used all of the other donation mod's, and there is just NO comparison. I ended up buying the pro because I was so impressed with the version on vbulletin.org, and I haven't regretted it since. The support is insane, and the pricing is a lot less than you would expect. For such a supported mod and constant improvements being added I would recommend this to anyone!"

[AWJunkies]

Ok fixed the phrase issue with minimum allowed donation amount as well as fixed the CMPS auto global variable stuff. So please re-download.

[AWJunkies]

FIXED: Issue with previous V1 users upgrading to V2. I accidentally had the same group # in the XML for admin NAV which was causing the merger. V1 is 104 and V2 is now 106 which solves the issue. Also in the transfer of donations I accidentally had PRO ds condition and not dsl LITE condition for transfer it is all fixed now so re-download.

Hello! I have upgraded to V2 per your suggestion. That corrected an issue I had with the progress bar updating. Having usergourps changes do not add new usergroup (they are turned on). The progress bar will still not display in CMPS (variables globalized).

You need to go to CMPS>Default Settings>Main Options> SAVE the options and it will work now.

Please take a screen shot of your usergroup change settings for me.

[kaoticgaming]

That's the screen for you.

On the CMPS. I have already saved them. That's my problem with it. The bar will not display despite the variables being globalized.

MOVE and ADD are totally different. I think you want MOVE to usergroup. ADD means they are added to a membership group. YOU need to select MOVE. For it to work how you want
Thanks for the image!!

Please take image of bar settings

[kaoticgaming]

There's image number 2.

On the group change, I assumed "add"meant it would "add" the status to additional usergroups, which was my goal. This would enable all members to gain donator/VIP status, even specific ones that would rather use thier other title, such as role specific members who may want to donate and gain donation benifits of the new usergroup, but retain and display thier old status.

[Neo_obs]

This is one great system... I have already received over 500 donations in just two months.

Our total net donations are well in to the 1000's and all thanks to this mod.

Great mod totally worth the money to get pro.
