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.

Your welcome. Had you marked installed you would have been notified by email and you would have seen the updated notification when reviewing the 3.6 mods.

Hey Sinisterpain, nice mod =] but do you know how to make it appear in a specific forum ? I want to show it in my "announcement forum/section" not the main index forum " Forumhome"

I would love to do this as well. I have an announcements forum that would work much better than forumhome.

I haven't clicked install yet because I'm hoping this can be done.

Or...perhaps a way to move it to the bottom?

In your donorbar options look for the setting
"Show Donation bar on (comma separated THIS_SCRIPT locations)
Blank to show on all pages (not recommended because of server load)" remove index from the box and put forumdisplay.

Hey sinister I didn't understand what you just said, I didn't find an option of what you said in the admin panel about this

Also does this cause server load if it does, I can't really install it as I am already facing server load issues

Go to admincp->vboptions->Donation Bar

You will see the above text in the options. Right now in the option box is the word index. Remove this from the box and put forumdisplay and save it.

The only thing that would cause server load is if you left the box empty which would display the bar on all pages.

I see the bar shows twice

I guess i installed this and didn't remove the code, how can i do that, i mean to make one bar appear not two

nvm fixed
