paypal module (dropdown)

[divided_by_fear]

ok we made a little paypal module figured we would share... but before i go any further i would like to thank derekivey for helping me out on this... so here is a image to show you how it looks... and i am trying to explain this as best as i can and make it as simple as i can... keep in mind i change my image, this code will show paypals button

http://img470.imageshack.us/img470/3175/paypal6rg.jpg


what we did was made a new template named it adv_portal_paypal
and in that template we added this code...



<tr>
<td class="$bgclass">
<center><span class="smallfont">If you like this website, and would like to give something in return, you can make a donation. Your donation will be used to pay for hosting service, domain, & maintenance costs only!</span></center>
<br />
<center>
<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" target="_blank" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick" />
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="youremail@whatever.com" />
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Website Support Donation" />
<input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD" />
<input type="hidden" name="tax" value="0" />
$<SELECT NAME="amount">
<OPTION value="1.00">1.00</option>
<OPTION value="2.00">2.00</option>
<OPTION value="3.00">3.00</option>
<OPTION value="4.00">4.00</option>
<OPTION value="5.00">5.00</option>
<OPTION value="10.00">10.00</option>
<OPTION value="20.00">20.00</option>
<OPTION value="25.00">25.00</option>
<OPTION value="50.00">50.00</option>
<OPTION value="100.00">100.00</option>
</SELECT>
<br /><br />
<center><span class="smallfont">Select your donation amount and then press the Donate button.</span></center>
<br />
<tr>
<td class="$getbgrow" align="center"><span class="smallfont">
<fieldset class="fieldset" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0px">
<br />
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-but04.gif" border="0"></a>
<br /><br />
</td>
</tr>


in the code make sure you change youremail@whatever.com to your email...

then add a module, you want to add a Template Module

and in the module settings add this

Module Title: Donations
Template to Include: adv_portal_paypal
Use Module Shell Template : yes
Title Row Colspan: 1
and set your Usergroups to what ever you want

hope this helps and if any one wants to edit the code or make it easier to install feel free, im still new to this and getting the feel for it.

Good job, nice and simple.

[livedesi]

Thanks

[josh]

works great thanks!

[Ozzie]

This is great! Easy to set up and simple to customize if you wish. Thanks much!:)

[Ins4n3]

This works great, thank you. Just thought I would mention its missing a </form> so if theres any other forms on the page you put this on they will be messed up. Great work though :)

[Rocket_Cowboy]

Does this tie into vb's subscription interface in any kind of way? It would be great if a donation here could be tied to a subscription level, so that users don't have to hop through the User CP links to find them.

[Danny Diamond]

Thanks man.

[gothic1213]

Many thanks for sharing, really good.

[DementedMindz]

no problem glad you enjoy... my main goal was to make it flly html complaint i posted it on http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=105276 as i am on there more and can give support on it more there.

[-Haro`]

is there anyway to modify the code as to where you can type the amount you want rather then select it?

[Ozzie]

I used this to eliminate the amount selection part and deleted all the selection code<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick">
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-but04.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!">

[Gary Bolton]

I've re-wrote this PayPal code quite a lot becuase there were a few closing tags missing and to many times were "center" was used using the SPAN command when it was not needed.

In your custom modual were you add the "custom content" bit to be used. Just add this below.


<!-- Text Start -->
<div class="smallfont">
If you like this site and would like to give something, you can make a free donation. Your donation will be used to pay for hosting & maintenance costs.
</div>
<br />
<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" target="_blank" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick" />
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="your_email_here" />
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Your Site Name" />
<input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USB" />
<input type="hidden" name="tax" value="0" />
<div class="smallfont" align="center">

<OPTION value="50.00">50.00</option>
<OPTION value="100.00">100.00</option>
</SELECT>
</div>
<br />
<div class="smallfont" align="center">

<br />
and press the "Donate Button".

<!-- Text End -->

<!-- Paypal End -->


This is setup for "£" is you want to use Dollars, just change the GBP to USD and the £ to $ in the code.

[Centurio]

Hi
i must translate in German,but nice Work 100%

[tfletch]

K, would like to thank you for this module. I like it alot.

Using VB3.5.3
CMPS 2.1

I had to remove this module because after installing vbshout 2.0 and
vBadvanced CMPS v2.
When i had the shoutbox on the Portal, when you clicked on the shout button
It takes you to the Paypal site... And also When I installed the Military clock module, the time wouldn't show up. when i clicked on the spot where the time should be, it to took me to the paypal site.
I have installed a different donations block for now but really like the drop down here... any Ideas? Thanks

[Binder]

Thank you
It works great I have a paypal account to get the donations
I edited it
and I set that up it works great
can I take away the credit card icons and just use the paypal method can you tell me how to do this please ?

i was trying to stay on the 100% html complaince as i redid it on the vbulletin site and its 100% complaint if you run your code it will fail bad i know center is used but i will be cleaning it up more also but as for right now the code on vbulletin is 100% complaint

[CSS59]

What if you have a goal of a fixed amount like $$300. Is there a way to show the remaining towards the goal automatically after each donations?

Tat would be cool. Like “only $50 more to reach our goal of the $300 drive”

Please let me know if this can be done. I’m pretty sure they had something on vb.org for 3.0 a while back

[Beller]

;) Nice work..Thank you! ;)

how could you remove that? its how it works... its the form...

[DementedMindz]

also the newer one i posted on vbulletin allows you to manually enter in the amount... its the second code posted :)

[Ozzie]

I apologize for my confusing wording. I used that code 'instead' of what had been originally posted. I replaced the original with those lines. I didn't actually remove it. :o

I had a problem with this module.
I used this module on my forumdisplay page.
Whenever someone chose Post Quick Reply or Go Advanced they where redirected to the paypal page.
This seemed dependent on which usergroup they where assigned.

[Ohiosweetheart]

just what I was looking for, and works great ;)

the new code on vbulletin.org shouldnt give no problems cause all tags are opened and closed in the module... its 100 % html complaint... i even made one where they can input there own amount and dont have to chose a drop down...

[TXphi592]

can you post it here please? for some reason the firewall here blocks that site

[blockbusted]

EXCELLENT work, installed. Thanks much!

[kam009]

Can someone please give a path to where i go and paste the code

[kam009]

thanks

[muzikbizwiz]

This is a great code! I found this through a search as I am trying to find a variant of this where the ITEM is selectable vs the price. I have a client who uses PayPal who wants to offer comedy CDs at half price for a limited time and I don't relish making 134 different buttons! www.uproarcomedycd.com

[testpig]

This is a great hack...thanks :)

I already have the "Bills Paypal"hack installed in vBulletin which works really well, but a simple modification of your code is a great way to highlight it on vB Advanced homepage + I thought it was better to stick to one donation format.

I followed your install instructions but used the code below in the template. It relies on the Bills Paypal hack to do the actual donations - this simply acts as a redirect from the homepage to Bills donation page.

Hope you dont mind me modifying your code - just wanted to share as I felt it might be handy for others.

<tr>
<td class="$bgclass">
<div align="center"><span class="smallfont">Oursite.com is funded by the generousity of our members. </span></div>
<form action="http://www.Oursite.com/ourforum/billspaypal.php?" target="_blank" method="post">

[bandare]

Can this be done with a subscription part too for those that want to do it monthly rather than just a one off....

[eJM]

I believe people are having problems with this because FORM code should go before <table>. You can modify the code to put a <table> within the <td> (followed, of course, with a <tr> and <td> and don't forget to close them too) and be sure to close the <form> after </table>. If you check the page you have this on in a HTML validator (http://validator.w3.org/), you will find the errors I mentioned.

R'gards,

Jim

[V|K|NG-babo[PT]]

Nice work :)

[m4manas]

Hi Guys its a nice work
I achieved the same result, via a different route.
I stored the content in vbPaypal.php file. Uploaded it to the module directory.

I am running cmps. In cmps i added one module donate and in that i selected vbPaypal.php turning on the options of clean non vb code.

You can see the result on my site.

http://www.pwwc.org


Any suggestion which is a better way of doing it. Via module or through template.

[whaase]

I have been trying to get this to work for 3 hrs now :( Can you post the code from the .php file you created? I tried pasting the code at the start of this thread and it tells me it is not a valid module :confused:

[s0lidgr0und]

Excellent.

Now if I could only coerce my members to actually use it...

[ThePhlexican]

We just finished moving our site to a new host and when this module is displayed when you try to log in from the vBa welcome block it opens a new window to the paypal donations...same thing when trying to vote on the polls from the front page so far...I'm sure it has something to do with vBadvanced any ideas on how to fix this?

[forumnerds]

Installed and works its alittle confuseing for people who are new to mods and vb but after abit its easy to understand great job

www.forumnerds.com

[blkdrgn]

Great module

I have a new site and needed a way to donate as opposed to the forum with a donate link......GREAT WORK

[The Black Poet]

works great!! thank you for your work

[nhdriver4]

This is the perfect hack! Thanks a ton!
