Add-On Releases - EG - Donation link in postbit for users

I have wanted this hack for a while now. I decided to try and make it. So I did. Here it is.

This is only my 3rd hack so be nice. I am still learning. I will do my best to support this hack. If you want support click install.

What this hack does:
This hack allows users to place a donate link in their postbit. If your users release hacks or graphics for FREE for others to use then this is for them. The user can enter their paypal email in the userCP under profile. They can also select if they are paypal verified or not. If they select yes they are paypal verified then a link will show up so other users can verify it before making donations to them.

New Templates:1
New user fields: 2
Template edits: 2
Time to install: 1-3 minutes
Images to upload: 2

You can edit the link titles to your likes and you can change the currency to your preference in the adminCP> vboptions.

I have added some screen shots for you to see what it does.

Also the links have the nofollow tag and open in a new window.

I hope this comes in handy for your forum.


To control which forums this shows in do the following:

Open the eg_donate template. At the very beginning of the template add this

PHP Code:

<if condition="in_array($forum[forumid] ,array(X,X))"> 


and add this at the very end of it

PHP Code:

</if> 


Make sure to change the X's above to the forum you want this to show up in. Separate them with a comma. Do not use this if you want it to show in all forums.

Thanks to Paul M and SkyCatcher for help.

Update Version 1.2
I made it so the admin can use either buttons or text links. You can decide this in your adminCP. Did this by request.

NOTE: If you find that your template did not get updated then you will have to remove the old template. This only takes about 5 seconds to do. Instructions on how to do so is in the Upgrade Instructions. Sorry for this inconvenience but when imported it is upgrading everything but the template. I am looking into this.

Added a screen shot for you to see how the buttons look.

Upgrade instructions are in the ZIP file.

Is it possible to set is so that it only appers in select forums?

[mac27]

At this time no sorry. I can look into this though. That is a good idea.

You can use :

<if condition="$forum[forumid] == X">
$egdonate
</if>

where X is the forumid.

That`s a manual edit, but I don`t think it would be hard to integrate. You can just edit the egdonate template, so you don`t have to edit the postbit template directly.

I can take this and see what I can do with it. If it works. Then I can probably just make an option in the vboptions so that you can just input the forums you want it in.

Thanks for that T3nt. Was the update what you were talking about in the other thread?

[t3nt3tion]

Which update ?

[mac27]

The one that is up now. It makes it so you can use buttons or text links.

I added the code on how to do this to the first post. So you can follow the step and achieve this now. Thanks for the suggestion.
