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!
Some features of this hack are:
No need to modify or edit any vB files!
Automaticly adds 'Donate' link on Navbar next to the FAQ link if desired.
Simple once off setup in the Admin Control Panel.
All PayPal settings such as preferred currency are set in the Admin CP.
The Donors forum username is on the emailed receipt from PayPal.
People do not have to be registered on your site to donate.
You and toggle the PayPal Verified seal on or off.
Its a product so no need to redo hacks when you upgrade vB next time.
Works with default IE settings!
vB CMPS Modue Available
Configurable Thank you page for donors
Default / suggested donation amount if desired
Fully Phrased
Well thats about it for the moment. I may add more features later, if there is a demand for them.
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 don't have much free time.
This script has been confirmed as working on
vB 3.7 Rc1
Known Bugs
Choosing the button instead of the Navbar link for the donations breaks xml validation (but still functions fine).
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.

Now there is something else, User klicks "Spenden"-Button, new Window open (your screenshot 2) currency is Eur-Euro (settings in AdminCP) then write maybe 10 euro Inbox and choose "Paypal" -Button.....new Window (paypal) opens.....currency here is now USD????? Settings in Options my Paypal-Account is Euro, too.....what´s wrong??
