My date format is completely different than any of those two options.

mine is: Y年-m月-d日

I too believe that would have to be.

In Europe, in my case in Spain shows no date.
Shown only text d-m and o-m-d-y.
This also happens to more than 3 people I would recommend this mod.

mine is: %m-%d-%Y This is like what I have in the options dated vBulletin

in the table "vb_cybppdonate" in dateline show 1210629600 for date 13-05-08

Does that change would have to do is to show the date correctly?

Thanks

Anyone else getting the same message as myself?

No Donators or not added.

Great Mod.

I am having the same probs as post #37 (not moving to the usergroup designated upon confirming donation) and also as #39 (as soon as a payment is made, when paypal returns to the merchant page, it ends up displaying all my smilies).

I'd suggest that having an option to define a custom phrase for a "thank you page" would be good, or possibly defining a URL to return to after the paypal transaction is complete. (maybe this is an issue with what paypal sends back?

At the moment, the usergroup not changing once I've told it to is the one that bugs me the most. Cyb, if you need any more info on this from me, I'd be happy to help test anything you suggest.

[r5e]

Seems to be a lot of people complaining about the colour green. Another suggestion to Cyb - why not add another variable in the options to specify the link colour?

In the mean time if anyone wants to change this themselves, there are 2 simple options:

1. Modify the original xml product that you import before installing it. Search through the file for the line about 3/4 of the way through that looks like this:

<phrase name="cybpaypal_donate" username="Cybernetec"><![CDATA[<font color="#66ff00">Donate</font>]]></phrase>

Modify the colour value to be something else that you like (for example, red would be #FF0000, or for a complete list, you could look here.)

When you upload/install the product, it will have that colour.

2. Use the Phrase Manager in your admin CP to do the same job after it is installed.
In the left hand column, select "Languages and Phrases/Search in Phrases" and then search for the text "cybpaypal_donate" and select to search in "Phrase Variable Name Only". Click on "find" and you'll see it listed up the top with its font colour. Edit it (copy default text, change it and save it). Now you will have the colour that you want.

Pretty simple.

Installed!

Thank you CYB for Upgrade to 3.7.0 its very nice Plug in

[SirShaw]

how can i get this to work to be displayed on my vbadvanced portal page?

[shlomot]

Please consider this request in future releases:

As you can tell by my donation page, the note is pretty verbose and takes a lot of space on the page. This is why I had to remove the donation bar from homepage, and from that moment on all donations have stopped because no one clicks the "donate" option on navbar.

I wish that we could administrate an option to post the Donation Bar without the note on selected pages, and the full text will only show on the donation page.

[shlomot]

Thank you very much for your guidance.

However, I think that if the developer would include the usage of the Phrase Manager in the installation post, this "limitation" will actually turn into a "feature"
