the .module file posted above, is a new feature in vBadvanced CMPS 2.0
the new feature is the Download/Upload module.

You can use this feature to back up your templates, as well as it gives you a package to post here, then you dont need instructions, depending on how complicated the module is.

The code above tells vBadvanced what it is, is it a file mod or a template mod, and what all the settings should be.

For example

The Title is Donations
the filename being used is paypal
The template being used is adv_portal_paypal

what ever you do, you can open the file in notepad as described below, but dont modify it and save it in notepad.
That damages the file, and then you'll have to redownload it.

What tomshawk said. Personally i don't use Notepad to do any file edits, there is a awesome free text editor called Crimson Editor that works wonders. :-D

[LEAD_WEIGHT]

Any sceenshots or does it look exactly like cLord?
I tried it and it did not display any answers on that.

[internext]

Well, as a newbie to all this I managed to get the old version working.

But I can't get this one to work, it says:

"The following template(s) already exist in this style:
adv_portal_paypal
Select 'yes' to overwrite your current templates with the new ones, or select no to keep your current templates." = yes

Then it shows up in admin, but not on the cmps, nor does any such template show in the admin styles.

Must be doing something wrong? all good fun :)

[FightRice]

It should appear exactly like the other one, but i'm new at this whole download/upload module thing so i may have done something wrong :( But it was worth a shot i suppose

Does that fix any problems that come with other modules or just this one u made?

I tried that download/upload and it seem that I also need to make sure in edit pages I check the module box to have it display. Got it for now until CLoudRunner gets his properly working. :)

I also notice u kepted your paypal link inside that & I think u should tell ppl that cause I think u left that in by mistake right or someone might get in trouble for such a thing.

I think that was a problem with all modules being downloaded/uploaded not just mine..i hope so anyway.

And thanks for letting me know i kept the paypal link in, you've ruined my plans to collect everyone elses donations, lol just joking. Removed it and updated the module i think :eek:

[Judge Ruckus]

Okay I added this mod it didnt show up. I went and deleted the mod its gone but the templete is still there.

Now when I downloaded the mod again and tried to upload it is now telling me that the file is not valid.

^ Okay maybe that is my problem, now when I download the file it comes up a notepad doc automaticly now. What should I do?

Okay the mod is in place, the template has been edited but it is not showing up at all. I am getting this error after I save the edit mod. What does it mean in the pic?

I installed this and the module is not displaying. What am I doing wrong?

[mholtum]

I installed this and the module is not displaying. What am I doing wrong?
If I edit the module file in notepad to add my paypal info and then upload it I get the "Not valid file" error" if I dont and upload it, nothing displays. Oh well.

[creamlowhangers]

Yeah, its weird. It would be nice to have thats for sure. Anyone have any clues?

Are you editing the .module file? Or the template. You can't edit the .module file

Install it, then go into your AdminCP -> Style Templates- > Adv_portal__paypal i think its called, (don't remember) And edit it from there

[creamlowhangers]

Would you be able to tell us why its not showing up period? is there suppose to be anything in the paypal.php file in the modules directory?

As per the install it is called paypal2, yet that template doesnt exist. Hmmm I think there is something hokie with my install.
-edit-

Ok, this is weird.. At first it didnt display.. A couple minutes later it does..

Key into The Twilight Zone theme.

[cmiller1014]

Just downloaded and installed. Doesnt appear for me either. :(

[mholtum]

give it a few minutes.. Mine took a little while to show up

[cmiller1014]

I had forgot to go into the "Default / Homepage" page and enable the module on that page. All is well now. :)

[creamlowhangers]

its enabled automatically after install.

yes, after a few minutes it shows up. very weird.

[cmiller1014]

It didn't enable automatically on mine. The upload tool also didn't save my option of "Right column". It just stuck it in the left column and I had to move it.

Sounds like mine is buggy :(

When I submit it I get this message:

Your modules directory is not writable. Please chmod your modules directory to 777 and try again.

Means what it means. The directory on your site called "Modules" is not writable. No data can be written to it. FTP in to your site and change the attributes on that directory to 777 (write) and you will be fine.

[Ghost Shadow]

Changed: <input type="hidden" name="business" value="YOURPAYPAL@HERE.com ">

..to my paypal address, uploaded it. Now when I click on the PayPal link, the checkout page is still showing YOURPAYPAL@HERE.com address.

Thanks.

[Ghost Shadow]

Got it...
Just edited Template.

[Ghost Shadow]

I had to do a re-install, now I can't upload the donation.module, says this:

The file you have uploaded is not a valid module file.
Warning: fread(): Length parameter must be greater than 0. in /admincp/vba_cmps_admin.php on line 1576


Thank you.
