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.

Have not looked at bills paypal mod, I can and let you know.

[AWJunkies]

Done! Hit me up I have new XML file.

Yes it can be made to work with ANY paypal donation system. Just need to know the variable and table they are using. Can just follow the code I did and will be easy to add it to anything.

Added features:
* Cyb- Paypal Donation Integration
* If there is a negative or a blank number in either goal or amount variables it will show 0 now

Template edits:
* Fixed issue when there was no 'Donations Explained Variable' it would mess up template and have blank area
* No more red image within bar when there is 0% (only when there is a % will it show the inside of bar)
* Deleted added footer section that was causing template issues with blank space

More stuff to come. Please hit me up to approve it for dled.

Just waiting for him to come on. It is almost a total re-write but not one to care who gets credit just that it gets out in circulation to help people out and make mods more advanced. I have been programing for 10 years and know what it is like not to have time to finish a mod or quickly put something out. We all need a boost some time. Not saying this about this mod developer but in general.

[tekguru]

This is starting to sound really exciting!

Count me in . Need the cyb integration

Suggestion for Cyb though. It would be better if it worked when the donations approved rather than made

That is how it works Only when a amount is confirmed will it show in the donation bar.

I had a cyb donation bar but removed it due to redundancy. Also you will have to reset the amounts each month as cyb paypal just has a cumulating total $ amount in the table.

Mine you don't have to reset it each month. It will do it AUTO. It all has to do with the sql you initiate to get the info. I sent you the XML look it over and test it. Tomorrow it will reset auto you wont have to touch a dam thing. Once you read the code it will all make sense.
