just turn it off in the admincp->Donations System->Bar Settings

select no for the Automatically insert Donation Bar below NavBar

[Whiteyez]

From where can i change to a different language?

"Your Donation Will Be Used To Pay For our ever increasing bandwidth costs, our hosting Service, domain registration, software licensing fees, and maintenance costs"

Go to admincp->Donations System->Bar Settings
Change the wording as needed in the option field for "Donations going towards message"

[JHC]

Is the update for this and payment lite coming out today?

[sinisterpain]

Should be released today unless we run into any issue in testing

swiper the fox, dora would be mad at you if you couldn't bring home the bacon (grin). I'd like to give you my personal advice, I have the progress bar and I made $133 in donations on a forum that is three weeks old--and I didn't add the donation mod till last week!

I'll admit, I bought the pro version of this and the payment system to go with it, money I've since recovered three times over in two days. First, I have nothing to do with the "awjunkies" group, other than I use their products and I'm one happy customer. I'm also editing their templates to encourage more donations as you can see here: http://www.shotcritic.com/forums/don...hp?do=donation
This url actually shows $128 in two days,
http://www.shotcritic.com/forums/don...o=donationlist

My point is, you're shooting yourself in your foot if you think that the donation status bar hurts your site. Heck, I can't wait for the vBadvanced module to show it on the front of the site. I don't have the donation bar on the front because I don't use the standard navbar on the front of my site and I'm no programmer or coder, just some photographer and author who thinks he's a designer and webmaster and sometimes HTML and messing with this coding stuff makes me dangerous, but dora likes it (grin).

Just some advice, use the bar, it's a great marketing asset to this system, all the best, rg sends!

I have found it to work with many sites through responses from the site admin feedback so I agree its a tool thats proven. Also if you go to our site you will see the donation bar for cmps which will be released shortly.
Its always good to hear the feedback makes our jobs seem worth while in creating a mod that others can benefit from.

Thanks for your support

I don't mind the progress bar showing per se
but, its the showing of " 62 of goal reached " or 350 of 500 donated
once 500 is reached , no one will "donate" any more thinking that they have no need to

This is why I am thinking of removing some of that area.

I have read around and found the way to remove the xxx of xxx amount and the xx% has been reached
the progress bar is still there

Thanks alot !!!

You can simply turn it off in the admin panel, I guess, I have the pro version it allows you to do this and specify which groups can see it. Another solution, I had more contribute today, so I increased my goal another $50, why not? Nothing wrong in revising your goal. Seriously, for the improvement of our site, I earned over $160 now with that bar in less than 72-hours. Not bad for a three week old site with the donation system barely a week old itself. It was worth the $15 to upgrade to the pro system, got it back over ten times in less than three days! Thanks and all the best, it's a great system and I'm sure however you use it, it should work for you. rg sends!
