Add-On Releases - Donation Progress Bar-Forumhome

What Donations Bar Is:
It is a simple way for Admins to show a donation progress bar on their forum home page with Admin set goals and donations recieved. Because the donation bar is a stand alone it can be utilized with any donation system your using. It adds more visability of your site donation goal requirements and donation button to your members for hopefully more through put in donations.

Can Be Used With:

• Any paypal/donate system.
• PayPal Easy Donate - vB 3.6
  
• Cyb Paypal donate
  Will auto update donor bar now, but must be set in donation bar options.
• Vb Subscriptions (Can be used as manual or auto updating)

This script adds:

1. 3 Plugins
2. 1 Template

Installation:

1. Import the product-donationbar.xml through admin cp
2. If you use Cyb-Paypal mod you must select it in vboptions->Donation Bar->Cyb-paypal set to yes.
3. If you use Vb subrcriptions you must select it in vboptions

Post Installation:
Make sure when entering the form code for your Paypal button the links are formated as follows:

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
 <input type="hidden" name="business"
      value="sample@sample.com">
                             <input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-butcc-donate.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!"></form>

If your using this mod in 3.6.10 or higher and your sending people directly to paypal instead of your donation page from the button you need to add the below or you will recieve the security token error on clicking the button

<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />

If you do not use this format for the links your button will not show. Please do not copy and past my info above you must fo to your Paypal account and create a button with your account code and email info.
If you wish instead of a paypal button link you can put the URL to your donation page.

Update Version:

• 1.00 First Realease
• 1.01 updated template to be more in line with default vbulletin style.
• 1.02 Added donation bar color to change to green when 100% or greater donations met.
  Also added version check.
• 1.03 Fixed the color of the bar to not show small piece of red bar on left. Edited donorbar
  template to fix broken donor bar box.
• 1.04 Added Cyb-paypal intergration in admincp donation bar options. Thanks goes to AWJUNKIES for the adddition.
• 1.0.5 Fixed XHTML missing tag. Added ability to enter vbsubscription amount through Admincp. Bar will display only 100% now and once reached will post a thank you below donor button if you have a thank you message set. Fixed the donorbar template to be in the template group and not part of vbulletin so updating updates the template.
• 1.0.6 Added Auto updating of the donor bar for Vb paid subscriptions
• 1.0.7 Added option for auto insert of the donation bar under navbar, you can now float the donation bar if you are using chatbox, option for selection of usergroups able to see donor bar, You have option to enter which page to display donation bar on or show on all pages. General code clean-up.

• 1.1.0 Added setting in admincp for setting goal period

Upgrading Instructions:

When upgrading to Version 1.0.7 please make sure you remove the
FORUMHOME template edit as its no longer required. Failure to do so will produce two donor bars on forum index page.

IMPORTANT: If updating from an earlier version than 1.0.5 you must uninstall the earlier version and delete the old donorbar template before importing the new XML file.

Go to your Admincp->Plugin&Products->Manage products->Add/Import Product make sure you select overwrite.

Please report any and all bugs within this thread with as much detail as possible.

Is this the issue?

Would help to have link to your site to see what your doing as templates go. Not sure why your template threw everything in header best to have them separate depending on how much info your really putting in header.

I turned off the forum bar as ive integrated it into vbadvanced and that has the module on every page.

The links to donate and see donaters are in the payapl module below the donation bar.

I agree about the header bit.

Did you take sinisterpain one and just add my code to it? If you did please give it to sinisterpain so he can update his so everything is current. I have not seen the sidebar code so not sure what it is all about.

This mod was well worth the small effort to install.

Double thumbs up!!:up::up:

[AWJunkies]

It has increased my donations huge as well as having the pop up notify to donate after X time. Works like a charm.

Well I looked into using the Cyb donate Mod again and what put me off was:

- No high visibility vbAdvanced donate block
- Not being able to have the Admins primary usergroup as 6
- No good looking 'Donate page' as per Bills offering

So it looks like I'll still have to update manually and stick with Bills Mod

I transformed cyb mod to make it a lot more appealing and a lot more options as well as still working on IPN auto confirm. Hoping to finish before end of year but it is not on high priority at the moment have about 5 things ahead of it.

Cheers guys, once the vbA block has been revised and AWJ's changes are in there I guess that will be the time for me to move over
