Ok i'm a VB noob. I go to step 2 Create a new template

* Admin CP > Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Add New Template
* Title

vbcms_widget_donation

But then there is no where to enter the HTML!?

steven s · #13 12-22-2009, 02:20 PM

Be nice to have a monthly progress bar tied to subscriptions.

crazyace · #14 12-22-2009, 03:15 PM

Wow this is a really awesome MOD. I wish that I could add this to my Forum only install.

maidos · #15 12-22-2009, 04:34 PM

how about donation on forum pages.. options to choose to have it visible on every page? and maybe also add a donation bar and donation goal and met
?

The first steps should take you here;

You should then see the following screen;

Hope that solves your problem

It'd be possible (I'd have to learn a bit), but would require a plugin and is a bit beyond the scope of what I wanted to do with a simple widget/side block. I've had a quick search and there's two mods that have progress bars; Cyb - PayPal Donate and Donation Progress Bar-Forumhome. You're probably better of asking one of them to update either mod to vB4, in which adding compatibility to display the bar in a widget/block would probably be fairly straight forward. If neither mod owners are willing to update their mods then I'll look into doing it myself further.

You can, please see the third post on details on how to do this.

You can enable this on the forum-only package and make it visible on every page. This is explained in the third post of this thread. In regards to the donation bar, see my comments above to steven s.

Very nice mod - thanks very much.

The code to add the title image to the widget also helped me with other custom widgets on my site.

Clicked Install and rated excellent
