Is there any way to fix this d-m-y issue without removing the locale-setting from the language?

This affekts "very interesting" date an time-format on my forum which can not be fixed by editing the language settings in vB-options.

Edit:

Installed locales are:

 locale -a
C
de_AT.utf8
de_BE.utf8
de_CH.utf8
de_DE.utf8
de_LI.utf8
de_LU.utf8
en_US.utf8
POSIX

The language uses de_DE.utf8 .

Best regards,
Alex

Is there a way that I can change the word "Donate" to "Sponsor" when it shows up in the menu on the forum?

The mod is fully phrased. You can edit all phrases by going to the Phrase Manager.

For this particular one: Search in Phrases for "vb_navigation_link_vsapaypal_donlink_text", then change "Donate" to "Sponsor".

Hi, thanks for a great Mod
I've looked through this thread and can see posts on how to get the donation bar on other pages but not the donate button
Currently, it only appears on my forum pages
Is there any way of getting the donate button on the nav bar of my CMS?

Hope someone can help

I have been using this hack for a little while but paypal seems to be taken offence to the use of the word donate. I have managed to change wording of most phrases however one is left.

In the notification email for merchant instructions i get the following:

Forum donation for member "Bob Smith"

How can I change that phrase to say something like "Forum donation for member xxxx"?

Thanks for the hack.

How can I go about copying the donation list to the page where the users actually goes to submit their donation? Currently they are two different pages. I would like to incorporate that table into the donation page so people can see what others have donated easier than having to click a second link...

I thought to just copy the code from the template vsa_paypal_list, but this just creates a second table that isn't updated when a donation is made. Any ideas or help with this?
