It takes 0 seconds. But don't forget to mark donations as confirmed.

There is no easy way to change DonBar position. It requires plug-in editing. Option may be added in next version.

this may sound dum but does anyone know what a user id is?

i assumed it was the username but when i try to put that in it just comes up as unknown..

it asks me for the user id when i try to add people to the donation list..

and also when im trying to set the pm conformation sender..

so, anyone have an idea of what USER ID is?

EDIT: never-mind i figured it out..

its the last digits of your user profile url..

ok, I found out my problem. My highest usergroup is the webmaster level, higher then super admin, and admin. but only admin level has access to confirm donations to show up on the donation bar.

How to add my other higher level usergroup id's to allow access to confirm donations?

also, this program sends pm's and email weather or not a donation is even completed. my test account just selected a monetary amount and then canceled the page, but it still showed up in the donations list and the pm was sent to the admins.

this program needs to wait for the confirmation code sent back from paypal at end of transaction before sending out pm's and Emails to admins.

I dont need pm's and emails sent for every fracking user who decides to just look at the donation page and see what is available in the selection pull down box.

Valter, i love your add on's and your hard work. but please fix these issues with this donation program.

.

OK on my own I edited all plugins files and templates and added the webmaster usergroup id to all the arrays " $bbuserinfo " that I could find.

this has gave me access to the donate list but confirmed only. not yet confirmed and the option to move them to the donate usergroup, still are missing.

what else do i need to edit to add full access to my webmasters usergroups?

anyone?

[scan-pa]

i now have the admin pull down to confirm, delete, move user to donate usergroup ect.

but unconfirmed are still not showing in the list. only the 2 out of 5 that I confirmed.

anyone who can help?

I got the same issue with you guy about this donation bar progress from version 3 to 4, but still can't find the solution nor the answer from the coder. I don't know when this going to be solve .

Once you have received the pay-pal transaction confirmation email. Someone with Admin level access to your vB must then click on Donation Goal link right above the Donation bar. Select View Donations. Then tick the box next to the member that the transaction was completed and select from the options on the lower pull down menu.

That will add the donation and advanced the donation bar.

I received an e-mail from Paypal today with the following message:

Hello Brian -edited-,

Please check your server that handles PayPal Instant Payment Notifications (IPN). IPNs sent to the following URL(s) are failing:

http://www.mydomain.com/ipn.php

If you do not recognize this URL, you may be using a service provider that is using IPN on your behalf. Please contact your service provider with the above information. If this problem continues, IPNs may be disabled for your account.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.


Thanks,

PayPal

Everything about it looks legit - the link isn't a fake link but I can't find any reference to ipn.php anywhere. Valter, does the ipn.php ring a bell at all with you? I have no clue where this is coming from...
