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.
• 1.0.8 Fixed issue with template not being cached. Added ability to change currency symbol from admincp.
• 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.

Thanks to AWJUNKIES for adding the integration of Cyb-paypal to the donor bar mod.

how hard would it be to create something like this so that it does tie in with, for example, Cyb-PayPal Donate mod? that mod already creates tables in the database (i have not looked at them yet as of this post, but it has a page to display who's paid how much and when, so i am assuming its in the database somewhere). can we set up your bar to pull numbers out of there? i can see how it would be a bit involved, but if it queries by date and totals, it should work right?

I have not looked at the mod in detail but I would have to say it could be done.

It can be done!

I look forward to the integration once approved by both groups.

I don't have it looking pretty though kinda hacked to figure out the code. I will clean it up and present it to CYB as well as here. I want them to integrate them both. It is a progression in the CYB mod.

So stay tuned for it.

If you request it I will convert it to cyb paypal and get his permission to offer it.

everything seems to be working great on it, however it doesn't show the percentage of the donations/goal. it shows the dollar amount, but the bar doesn't appear and the percent is blank. btw i just installed it and haven't had any donations to it yet, but what i did was in the config of it, put the goal amount and what we currently had donated towards it, and that is all i got out of it. any thoughts/suggestions/tips would be greatly appreciated...and i love the idea of this

im sure it can be done, but im not a very experienced coder, and it'd take me awhile to figure it out (if it's even in my capacity). i do know his mod creates tables, and they are pretty basic, so i can't imagine it'd be too difficult. but like i said, im more of a template-edit kinda guy

it seems to be the major question of the mod. everyone seems to like the idea, and i can understand the reason on making it the way you did for the end-user ease. just seems like people want the integration, and there really seem to be only 2 major paypal mods, bill's and cyb's. its your time, but i'd use it if available.

Ill look at it this weekend

will the donation bar move on its own or do you manually have to change it in the admin pc when people donate?

Edit: read thru the first few pages of this thread and found the answer! Thanks "clicks installed"
