PayPal Easy Donate - vB 3.6 Details »» | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Hack Description
This hack is the easiest way to add the ability to accept PayPal donations for your site. You simply upload 2 php files, and a couple of images and then import the product XML and thats it! No messing round with template edits or anything like that, its all done for you! Also includes a vB CMPS Module so you can use this hack on your vB CMPS pages. - Note: Module has not been updated to add latest currencys. The vB CMPS is basicly just a straight port of DementedMindz excellent Paypal Module (dropdown) On vBa CMPS modified so that it can be setup from the AdminCP. Many thanks to DementedMindz for allowing me to mod his module. Some features of this hack are:
Please note that you have to have either a Business or Premiere PayPal account, else you will need to upgrade to one of these before you can accept donations. Its easy to do, just follow the guide on the PayPal site. Also note that this is a product, not a plug-in. You must import it using the import product feature in the Admin CP. I will try and offer support, but work and family commitments mean I dont have much free time. This is a work in progress and currently a beta version. This script has been confirmed as working on
Add Ons Colonel Ingus has made quite a nice flash addon for this hack. Full details of this addon are here - http://www.vbhackers.com/f76/audible...144/#post51661 Well worth checking out and seeing if it can enhance your donations page. Known Bugs vB Donations Hack - None on a standard vB 3.6.X install. However, if you use custom templates the automatic donate link insertion may not work. If thats the case, you will need to edit the navbar template manually as listed in the 2nd post. vB CMPS Module - Wont work with Euros for some bizare reason, under investigation. - Not updated to add new V1.32 currencys yet. This has been tested in a totally clean install of vB 3.6 and in my live and hacked site as well. Changelog Version 1.32.366 (26th May 2007)
Version 1.32 (9th January 2007)
Version 1.31 (6th August 2006)
Upgrade Instructions The 1.31 release for vB 3.6 is identical to the 1.31 vB 3.5 release. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=113159 No upgrading is necessary if you were running the 1.31 version on your vB 3.5 board. Make sure you select overwrite when you import. Credits Huge thanks to DementedMindz who made my V1.31 code XML compliant I have been inspired by Cloudrunners PayPal Donations and Cybernetec's Cyb Paypal. Both have their good points, but neither were quite what I wanted, which is what inspired me to write this. Thanks also to Paul M and hambil in helping me work out how to insert the donate link without any manual edits. Also, espically to DementedMindz for his assistance, advice, and use of his vB CMPS module. Much appreciested guys And finally, a huge thanks to Boofo who was a great help in making the 1.30 release and supplied the new template, and much help.

Hi,
I am having some problems displaying the images on my vBadvanced homepage, and also the actual donate page isnt showing the visa/mastercard/verified icons, just red crosses in iex7, and nothing at all in firefox. I suspect it is because of the skin I'm using (this one) as the problems started around the time when I installed it. I managed to get the navbar pic to display in vBadvanced, but the link is dead. Could anyone help me with this please? Thanks Dave. |

For the navbar, you'll need to disable the auto edit, and manually edit the navbar template, putting in http://www.YOURSITE.com/forum/billspaypal.php? for the address. -------------- I managed to get the drop down currency to work, so that the end user can chose from a selection , had to edit the product file a little though; |

Thanks IR15H, that has done the trick for the missing pics
The only thing left that isnt working, is the small paypal icon on the front page (vBadvanced), if I click on it, it gives me a "Not Found The requested URL /billspaypal.php was not found on this server." If I can fix that, it will stop me pestering for at least a few hours Thanks for the help. |

It's the same sort of thing as before, you'll need to disable the auto edit and do it yourself.
Open up your navbar template and put; Quote:
Code:
<!-- / breadcrumb, login, pm info --> EDIT: If you don't know how to edit templates 1. Log into your Admin CP 2. Look for Styles & Templates then Search In Templates 3. Search for Text <!-- / breadcrumb, login, pm info --> (Search Titles Only set to "No") 4. Select the navbar template and hit either "Edit" or "Customise". 5. The search text should already be put in, so just hit "Find" 6. Paste the code after it, editing it to your website. 7. Hit "Save". You'll need to do that for all styles you have. |

Hi, thanks for the reply
That method gave me an extra paypal icon/button thing slightly higher up the page, so I took your line of code and swapped it for the similar line that I already had at the bottom of the template and that worked. Thanks again! Edit: and thanks for the edit |
