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! :banana: Also includes a vB CMPS Module so you can use this hack on your vB CMPS pages. :banana: 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
Known Bugs None on a standard vB 3.5.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. This has been tested in a totally clean install of vB 3.5.4 and in my live and hacked site as well. Changelog Version 1.31 (5th August 2006)
Version 1.30 (9th May 2006)
Version 1.21 (28th April 2006)
Version 1.2 (16th April 2006)
Version 1.1 (16th April 2006)
Version 1.0 (16th April 2006)
Upgrade Instructions To upgrade from 1.2x to 1.3 just download the zip, it contains the latest files. Then upload the billsdonate.php and image files then import the XML file again. 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. Click on Install If you have this script installed then please click on the install link because;
Donations First of all, to be clear. This script is 100% free. However if you feel an urge to donate I'm not going to say no. Donations can be made at http://www.billspaintball.com/vb3/billspaypal.php Show Your Support

Please click instal Quote:
But thats not to say it wont be added at some stage. Currently I'm researching the PayPal callback functions (I need this if I want to automaticly confirm if a payment was made and for how much). If we want to then start adding goals, showing donors as donors, displaying donated amounts etc I will have to learn how to get products to create tables. It would probably be a lot easier to modify parts of cloudrunners code than start from scratch, if I could get permission that is. |

Also, one reccomendation for future upgrades: It would be nice to be able to pass the USERNAME to PayPal so that we can see who is donating. That is if it's not a guest donating. |

If you modified billspaypal.php then it will be right as long as you dont reupload that file (there is no need to, its unchanged). If you actually modified a template, your changes will probably get overwriten. Quote:
It already contains the doners forum Username Thats only a stop gap solution until I get my head around the PayPal call backs, but it works. |
