I set up a subscription of 5|12, which reports as 5 dollars for 12 months...which SHOULD mean 5 dollars a month for 12 months...but it submits to paypal as 5|12|12, which is 5 dollars every 12 months, 12 times (12 years)...that's not quite right. Any ideas on what I can do to change this?

4.0.3 Patch Level 1

the actual donation systems seems to work fine using the link in the navbar.
but when i tick the radio button to enable the donation bar the forum doesnt display at all, just get a blank screen on http://www.mysite.co.uk/forum/forum.php

any ideas?

Thanks

I'm wondering about this too. Nothing shows up unless I enter it manually myself too.

Same here, no donation bar is visible, even with "yes" checked under enable.

I see it. Is it possible to move the bar down under the Forumlist?? And if so, how?

I was going to install this, but after seeing all of the problems people have reported and not been responded to... I think I'll pass.

Looks good if it was supported.

Anyone using this for donations seems to successfully be able to make payment, but their usergroup isn't upgraded per the settings. All the settings appear to be properly enabled and this hack used to work. Any thoughts?

I'm on 4.03 now. Thanks.

Same problems here. Usergroup change doesn't work, and the "return to merchant" page doesn't work either, even after I modded the plugin to supposedly use a custom cmps page.

I am getting this message when it tries to connect to Paypal:

The link you have used to enter the PayPal system is invalid. Please review the link and try again.

Also ... how exactly does subscriptions work?

[tommac3]

I get an error :

Return to MerchantThe link you have used to enter the PayPal system is invalid. Please review the link and try again.

I get this from Paypal ... not sure what I need to set up for that.
