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.

Thanks to AWJUNKIES for adding the integration of Cyb-paypal to the donor bar mod.

Guys new release today added some more stuff. It has auto insert the $donorbar under the navbar. Has float or non float option. As well as usergroups allowed to view the bar. As well as changed alignment to left for title because of theme issues (instructions to change to follow). Also added where the bar appears which defaults to index and misc page for a merge with a donation system. Also cleaned code up slightly with if statements.

Enjoy!

Almost done with new donation system so stay tuned.

Great stuff ,Exactly what I have been loooking for .
Simple, no fuss ,no messing around with bits of code,great for a beginner like me,and it does exactly what its supposed to do ,I love it ,many thanks.

[Moncha]

After some tweaking to get it to work in vbPortal it works great! Just what I was looking for also. Great Job!! I nominated it for MOTM even

[REVHEAD]

Just a question ,when I installed the mod today ,my friend donated $5 into my account ,and I recieved the payment but the progress bar and ammount recieved have yet to move? any ideas.

[AWJunkies]

It will only go up if A:

You have CYB Integration on in the donation bar mod and you have cyb donation mod installed and you have CONFIRMED the payment in CYB mod. You can do this by going to ( www.yourdomain.com/misc.php?do=donate_list ) and confirming it there in options on bottom right corner after you select on right side.

B:

If you have CYB integration off and don't have that mod you have to manually add the amount donated to you in donation bar ACP.

C:

There is no other way

Donation MOD almost done!!! I presume final release will be before monday.

When upgrading to Version 1.0.7 please make sure you remove the

FORUMHOME template edit as its no longer required. Failure to do so will produce two donor bars on forum index page.

What info needs to be removed? I do have 2 bars as you indicated.

Thanks

[AWJunkies]

In your FORUMHOME template you previously added $donorbar in there just search for it and delete $donorbar. The new system has an auto insert for this now.

Also small update donations system works perfect may release early. Will do more testing later today and add some more features before the release.

[EUWI]

Great! That is what I needed. All fixed now.

I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around this one. I went to my PayPal account and tried making a couple of buttons, but none of them look like the format of the one above. I'm not sure I understand that part.

Please help

The above is an example for how the links were to be formated only the code is an example and not what you should use for your site.
