Miscellaneous Hacks - Donation Manager

Due to this I have decided to leave the vBulletin community and no longer wish to have my work associated with it.

Apologies to those who use this work.

Go to Admin CP > Donation Manager > General Settings > Is the Donation Manager Active? and select yes.

That will add the new NavTab.

What is the error message and also could you either post or pm the url of your forums so I can take a look.

Completely understandable - would it be possible for you to release an update with the stats hooks sooner? Even if they're not actually displayed anywhere, it would allow others like myself to develop stats addons like a donation bar to go with this mod quicker.

Thanks

I'm actually working on that at the moment.

In a way I'm doing it a bit backwards. I have a page in the admin control panel that displays all the donations, a total of how many donations have been made and what they all come to and an average donation per member.

I'm now working on actually getting the donations into the database.

As soon as it's done I'll release it. I'll also post screen shots of the control panel page tomorrow. I can't now as the mod is stored on another computer.

Thanks Deadly Steam that would be fantastic

Very, very well done. I love the addition of Subscriptions to this.

I've modified the template donation_paypal to allow pulldown choices for my donations and subscriptions (see http://www.puritanboard.com/donate.php)

Find:

PHP Code:

<input type="text" name="amount" size="8"/> 


Replace with

PHP Code:

<select name="amount"> 
<option value="10">10</option> 
<option value="20">20</option> 
<option value="50">50</option> 
<option value="100">100</option> 
<option value="500">500</option> 
</select> 


You'll need to set the values and the amounts between the option tags to correspond to your donation selecitons.

Find:

PHP Code:

<input type="text" name="a3" size="8"/> 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

<select name="a3"> 
<option value="5">5</option> 
<option value="10">10</option> 
<option value="20">20</option> 
<option value="25">25</option> 
<option value="50">50</option> 
</select> 


Once again, changing the values to correspond to what you want the user to select.

Nice addition there Semper.

1. Can I delete the dot below the subscribe button in the donation_paypal template or is it another file?
2. How exactly do the subscriptions work? Which day of a month will it transfer the money from the subscriber to the owner? How to cancel subscriptions?

Deadly Stream, so the donation meter is coming out as well today/tomorrow?

The money will be transferred on a pro-rata basis, for example if user 1 donated $1 on a weekly basis today, you would get another $1 on 27/02/2010, 06/03/2010 and so on until cancelled.

If member 2 donated $10 on a monthly basis, you'd get another ?10 on 20/03/2010, 20/04/2010 and so on.

If member 3 was to donate $1000 on a yearly basis, you'd get another $1000 on 20/02/2011, 20/02/2012 etc.

The subscriptions will remain active until the member cancels them in PayPal.
