Greetings.

We're using vBulletin 4.2.2 PL 1 and tried different currencies (USD and EUR), the specified amount (f.e. "5.0") will always ignore the dot after being redirected to paypal

For example I choose: 5.00, get redirected to paypal and it shows up as 500 USD/EUR.
This must be a bug of some kind and also doesn't get fixed when I chose USD instead EUR.

[DragonByte Tech]

Thanks matey. Do you use a separator other than . to mark currency in your language settings?

Edit:

Can you also post what exactly you have in your DragonByte Tech: vBDonate - PayPal - Payment Settings > Suggested Donate Amounts settings?

Matt

[Barbecue_Eater]

No, we don't use anything else except the dot.

Suggested amounts were default, I changed it to

5.0

but that has the same bug.
If I'd change it to 5.00 it'd be 500 USD/EUR whatever.

The setting about suggested or custom amount don't matter.
It's simply that the dot gets ignored anyways.

Our vBulletin language is German

[DragonByte Tech]

I'm not sure what's causing this issue. If you set your suggested amount to '5', does that throw out the same error?

It might be worth redownloading the files again just in case there's been an issue of some sort in the download process.

Matt

[Barbecue_Eater]

If we set it to

5

it can not produce the same error as there is no dot that could be ignored.
The result is as expected: 5 EUR
Same is for

5.

BUT it doesn't matter if I choose 5.0 or 50, both gives the same result.

I'll redownload the files and try it again.

edit:
It still doesn't work, I completely re-downloaded and re-uploaded every single file and re-installed the add-on.

Thanks for doing the checks for me. Can you tell me what version of PHP you are using?

Matt

[Barbecue_Eater]

PHP 5.3

[DragonByte Tech]

I'll dig into the issue again. Can you PM me some details to your site so that I can login and have a look at some of the settings and test some ideas out?

Matt

[Barbecue_Eater]

I couldn't find in the changelog what was changed in the update.
Were you able to reproduce the problem?

I'll try to update and test it again.

[ruger]

I just uploaded the files and xml. 2 of the images in the admin panel are not showing for some reason and when I look in the dbtech/vbdonate/images/admin file they are definitely there. Ive tried reimporting the product as well and still doesnt fix the issue.



Any ideas?
