PayPal Module

[cLord]

This will add a PayPal donation module to your CMPS...

In your Admincp - Styles & Templates - Style Manager - Add a new template called "adv_portal_paypal".

Insert this code into the template:

<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="100%">
<tr>
<td class="tcat"><span class="smallfont"><b>$vba_options[portal_blockbullet] PayPal Donations</b></span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="$getbgrow" align="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>
<br /><br />
<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="you@yourdomain.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">
<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!">
</form>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br/>Save the template!

Still in your Admincp - vBa CMPS - Add Module

- Module Title - PayPal

This will add a collapsible PayPal donation module to your CMPS...

Create a new module called paypal.php (this can be done with notepad)

Insert this code into the PHP file:

<?php

$collapseobj_paypal = $vbcollapse['collapseobj_paypal'];
$collapseimg_paypal = $vbcollapse['collapseimg_paypal'];

eval('$home[$mods[\'modid\']][\'content\'] .= "' . fetch_template('adv_portal_paypal') . '";');

?>Save & upload the PHP file to your modules dir.

In your Admincp - Styles & Templates - Style Manager - Add a new template called "adv_portal_paypal".

Insert this code into the template:

<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="100%">
<thead>
<tr>
<td class="tcat">
<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('paypal')"><img id="collapseimg_paypal" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat$collapseimg_paypal.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
<span class="smallfont"><strong>$vba_options[portal_blockbullet] PayPal Donations</strong></span></td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody id="collapseobj_paypal" style="$collapseobj_paypal">
<tr>
<td class="$getbgrow" align="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!

How can I add donators to a certain group, like say "Donators", as soon as they make a donation?

[n1ckn4me]

(included pay, donate & buy buttons for the ones that speak Dutch ;))

[n1ckn4me]

Felt guilty and made the buttons real quick in english for you to enjoy :p

I'd like to know this also! I'm looking for one that is more toward paid subscriptions, once they are a paid member, it will automatically add them
to that membership group.

Any ideas?

[Cyricx]

VBulletin has a default function for paid subscriptions and paypal.

It'll move them into the usergroup and everything.

Create a user group "donators" and use the subscriptions option in vb.

[Milk Man]

when i go into my style manger i can only add new style. is this where i do it?

[Milk Man]

forget that, i figured it out, but is there a way to mak it english?

[Milk Man]

figured it out, lol cheers though.

[sunnycher]

I have my usergroup as LGP Member, those are the paid members.
What I was looking for is a module to put on the front page for members to join, click join, put in the info, directs them to paypal to pay and then back to the forum and it would automatically put them into the LGP Member usergroup. I've got PayPal set up and the subscription set up in my AdminCP, just can't figure out how to add the Join Now to the navigation bar where it gives them the option to just be a Register User, not paid or a LGP member, paid.
Make sense?

[Milk Man]

I don't think you can,

just edit them yourself and put them into the usergroup manually.

[ncangler]

Actually, I setup a subscription system three days ago with a new usergroup that registered members can upgrade to. I used the 'subscription' system built into vBulletin. It works great and it does automatically add the registered user to a new usergroup called 'Captain's Club Member'. The only thing that is not done automatically is that the user has to go to 'User CP', 'Group Memberships' and select the whether they want to be identified as a 'Member' or a 'Captain's Club Member'. But it works great once you get the settings tweaked.

Adding a 'Join Now' button to the Navbar would be as simple as adding one line of code in the pop up menu section of the navbar template that looks like this:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/subscriptions.php?$session[sessionurl]">Join NOW!/td>
$session[sessionurl]">Join NOW!</a></td>

Find the 'User_CP', 'Home', etc. links in the navbar template and then insert your personalized line of code wherever you'd like it to appear on the navbar. Be sure to add your domain.com and forum name to the path. You might want to say something other than 'Join NOW!' though as it might be confused with registering for membership instead of subscribing to a new level of membership. I added a CMPS module on the portal page of my site with links for more information and to Join Now. Here is a link (http://www.triumphowners.org/) if you're interested. :cool:

I don't think you can,

just edit them yourself and put them into the usergroup manually.

Thanks NCangler! I think that helped a lot! I appreciate it so much! :)

[Flow Fusion]

thank you

[Milk Man]

well there you go, you learn something new everyday

[sunnycher]

NC,
Do you have the coding for the Learn More template/module? i'd love to use that!

[ncangler]

Here ya go. Be sure to plug in yourdomain.com in the three places needed. Also I used a "NEW" icon on my module. You'll need to find something like that that is appropriate to what your'e communicating and put in your images folder then put that name in place of "your.gif" in one line. Replace "Your Module Title Here" with your module title in two places and change any other text that you want different. Also you need to create a thread announcement for more information on the new level of membership and put that thread ID in the "showthread.php?t=xxx" line where xxx is. ;)
