Is it possible to automatically add users to two usergroups when confirming donations? I tried putting two usergroup id numbers in the settings, separated by a comma. It seems to have worked, but wondering if it might cause issues?

Hope that helps

No need to edit the XML file if you have it already installed.
Just go to plugin manager, "VSa - PayPal Donate - Ext" and then find and edit and save.

Thanks

Hi, is there a way to have it shown on a side block ?

A guest cannot view my forum. He will be redirected to login screen.
Is it possible to make the donation bar visible for guests in the login screen?
So that a guest can donate to register ?

I have a weird problem. My donation is setup like this. 3.99|1, 9.99|3, 29.99|12 The 2nd and third option work but the first I get an error from PayPal saying an invalid links was followed. If I remove the first option the 2nd (now the first) option works. If I change the 3.99|1 to 3.99|2 it works. I have to assume that the mod does not like the |1 option.

So I just installed this and plan to use it for DONATIONS.

It seems that the system, when it transfers money, sets it up as a purchase of a good. Thus Paypal charges a fee. Is there anyway to change how paypal registers the donation as a transfer to avoid the fee?

TBH I believe that wold be a violation of PayPal terms, unless of course you are a Not For Profit organization, then if so, I think you would have to take that up with them.

That's not true. You can edit all the xml but the problem persists.

Yes, I also have the same problem. A shame, I liked this mod...

[n1kko]

I'm sure someone has asked already but I can't seem to find it or get it working on my own....

How can I create links in threads that use the donation system (add to the total) such as:

Donate $5

I was also going to ask how to add donate 5$ every month but it appears someone has just asked that I believe.

I think it has something to do with the template, I'm using 'Green SEO fixed width'. The word donate appear in default style but not my Green SEO fixed width style.

Has anyone a solution for this? I am using a custom style and it only shows up in the default style.
