Hi everyone,

I have a small problem, every time my member making donation and it didn't tell me who making donation. Also it didn't move them to VIP group. Is there a way to fix that problem? I am current running 3.6.7.

Thank you every much,

phongvanlau

Cybernetec, can you address post 546 above? please and thankyou..

[Grazu]

Hi, last week, I posted:
====================================
Hello,
first of all, a BIG thank you to Cybernetec for this great hack!

I nevertheless have a little problem in the PM and donation list where "d-m-y" is displayed instead of the date.
I run vbulletin in french and the dates are correctly displayed anywhere else.
Did I miss something?
I also noticed that almost all french users got this error on their forums using this hack...
Who could help me?
==========================
Cyber, could you help please?
Thanks in advance

[vitrag24]

can you add help in all features so users can click on help button to know about any feature in your mod in ACP and won't have to ask for all features here.
it would be easier.

[vitrag24]

bump? post 546

Hi CYB,

I was wondering if you would be willing to do some Paid modifications to this hack?

Im looking to for the donations / subscriptions to be automatically accepted instead of manually accepting

Im would also like the Usergroup problem fixed which is mentioned in the thread where when someone purchases a subscription / makes a donation there account is not moved to the set usergroup.

Please contact me: contemptx@hotmail.com

Look forward to hearing from you.

First, thanks for all your work on VB. I use a lot

I can see a great opportunity to integrate this mod and the Donation Bar ... also with the suggestion made in the previous post

[Saviour]

Nice hack...I clicked "Installed".

Hopefully, I can get an answer to this problem...searching 38 pages wasn't fun, at all.

Cyb...

First of all I want to thank you for the time you spent coding and updating this hack, but here's a problem I'm most concerned about, that I feel noone has addressed...due to the fact I can't find any mention of it within this thread.

When a user goes to the donate page, selects their amount and clicks the "Donate" button, they may, or may not encounter a problem when it takes them to PayPal. They'll probably get the "seller doesn't accept un-encrypted payments" error. That's not the problem, though.

In order for this hack to work properly, the seller, in this case, me...has to configure his PayPal account to accept un-encrypted payments...something I'd rather not do...but have to, in order for this hack to function properly.

Now...I've seen posts within this thread related to the "un-encrypted payment" error, but noone provided a response to them. So hopefully, I've answered their question...they just need to configure their website payments in PayPal to accept un-encrypted payments.

Now...if I had a choice...I'd rather not accept non-encrypted payments, but your hack doesn't support this option in PayPal...unless the "Donate" button is configured that way.

Do you have any plans...or any suggestions for fixing this issue?

Thanks in advance...

[Saviour]

Here's another issue I'd like to have answered, please...

I've configured a new Usergroup for this hack...I have it configured to follow permissions from another Usergroup.

When a person donates, I would like them added to the new Usergroup and, of course, I'd like to give them a special title for donating, but I don't want them moved from one Usergroup to the other...I hope you can understand what I mean...and I'm not quite sure how to set this up within the Admin CP.

Scenario:

Say I have a Moderator that wants to donate..of course, he needs to remain in the Moderator Usergroup...and his title needs to remain "Moderator"...and his permissions need to remain intact as well.

How can I configure the Usergroup to show that he's, in fact, included within the new Usergroup I created, but it does't conflict with his primary Usergroup? I'd also like to know how I can configure it so that his title remains "Moderator", but he also has an additional title of "V.I.P.", because he has donated.

The same would apply for all current Usergroups within the forum's database...

Any suggestions?

Again...thanks, in advance...
