Hack Description
This hack is the easiest way to add the ability to accept PayPal donations for your site. You simply upload 2 php files, and a couple of images and then import the product XML and thats it! No messing round with template edits or anything like that, its all done for you! ![]() :banana: Also includes a vB CMPS Module so you can use this hack on your vB CMPS pages. :banana: The vB CMPS is basicly just a straight port of DementedMindz excellent Paypal Module (dropdown) On vBa CMPS modified so that it can be setup from the AdminCP. Many thanks to DementedMindz for allowing me to mod his module. Some features of this hack are:
Please note that you have to have either a Business or Premiere PayPal account, else you will need to upgrade to one of these before you can accept donations. Its easy to do, just follow the guide on the PayPal site. Also note that this is a product, not a plug-in. You must import it using the import product feature in the Admin CP. I will try and offer support, but work and family commitments mean I dont have much free time. This is a work in progress and currently a beta version. This script has been confirmed as working on
Known Bugs None on a standard vB 3.5.X install. However, if you use custom templates the automatic donate link insertion may not work. If thats the case, you will need to edit the navbar template manually as listed in the 2nd post. This has been tested in a totally clean install of vB 3.5.4 and in my live and hacked site as well.

Upgrade Instructions To upgrade from 1.2x to 1.3 just download the zip, it contains the latest files. Then upload the billsdonate.php and image files then import the XML file again. Make sure you select overwrite when you import. Credits Huge thanks to DementedMindz who made my V1.31 code XML compliant ![]() I have been inspired by Cloudrunners PayPal Donations and Cybernetec's Cyb Paypal. Both have their good points, but neither were quite what I wanted, which is what inspired me to write this. Thanks also to Paul M and hambil in helping me work out how to insert the donate link without any manual edits. Also, espically to DementedMindz for his assistance, advice, and use of his vB CMPS module. Much appreciested guys ![]() And finally, a huge thanks to Boofo who was a great help in making the 1.30 release and supplied the new template, and much help. ![]() Click on Install If you have this script installed then please click on the install link because;
Donations First of all, to be clear. This script is 100% free. However if you feel an urge to donate I'm not going to say no. ![]() Donations can be made at http://www.billspaintball.com/vb3/billspaypal.php Show Your Support

I just thought of a great new feature for this that would be EASY to include :bunny: A summary page. A lot of people who use vB own more than one vB license. However PayPal only allows you to have one account unless you have more than one bank account (which most people don't have). By having a summary page you could tell your donators at EVERY site not to worry that the name on the PayPal account is different from that sites name. For example:

Well It looks like there is a distinct lack of bugs being reported
![]() So I will get stuck into adding the couple of feature requests listed above over the weekend. Any more suggestions or bugs, betta report them quick... |

Any thoughts about adding a feature that would list the members who donated and perhaps listing them in order of largest donation. It could be a separate page with just the link appearing on the main donate page. I have seen this on other sites and always thought it was a good idea to recognise and give members "credit" for their donations. I think it would also encourage other memers to donate as well.
