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.

Installed and currently testing .. thanks ... :up:

Question:

If we decide to use this option and we have more than one subscription in use on our system, how does this mod know which one to use to add to the donations bar?

Automatically Add Subscription Amounts

Do you want the Vbulletin Subscription Amounts to automatically be added to the donation bar

Thanks for any feedback ...

Regards,
Badger

[BadgerDog]

Anyone? :up:

Also, I turned ON the option Automatically Add Subscription Amounts from vBulletin's system and it immediately set the bar amount received at $1,025, even with no amount having been received via vBulletin's subscription system?

Is this part of the mod working?

Regards,
Badger

Any plans on something like this for the 3.8.x series? It's a great mod that I would love to see implemented. Or is there something like this for 3.8.x. right now?

[sinisterpain]

See the AWcoding donations mod

This bar works great! But it only shows in Firefox. How can I resolve this?

Excellent! Just what I was looking for. :up:
I needed to disable Cyb's donate bar and this now fills my needs.
Working fine with 3.8.4 and I hope it will continue to work with v4.

Is there any way to modify the date that is used to determine the start of the year? In other words, my fund drive does not run from January1st to December 31st but rather from November 1st to October 31st of the following year.

Thanks in advance.

[ricardoNJ]

[scorpsy]
