Add donate button to postbit/legacy for PayPal Easy Donate - vB 3.6

[bigdog829]

This will add a donate button to postbit legacy for the PayPal Easy Donate - vB 3.6 hack which can be found on vb.org.

In postbit_legacy template find:


<if condition="$show['avatar']">
<div class="smallfont">
&nbsp;<br /><a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]"><img src="$post[avatarurl]" $post[avwidth] $post[avheight] alt="<phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[xs_avatar]</phrase>" border="0" /></a>
</div>
</if>

Below add:


<br/><a href="billspaypal.php" target="_blank"><img src="images/buttons/donate.gif" border="0"></a>

Then create a image named donate.gif or use the one I have supplied & upload it via ftp to:

images/buttons directory

Ok i got it added to my Board but how do i get it to work for where i can get my community members to donate to my paypal account? how do you do it?

Make an announcement that you've added the feature for those who would like to donate to the upkeep of the forum. If they want to, they will.

I can do that, but how do i set it for where it goes to my paypal account??


<br/><a href="billspaypal.php" target="_blank"><img src="images/buttons/donate.gif" border="0"></a>

Just like that but I dont know what to change there, im not a vB Genius like you peggy :)

I just dont know what to put there, when i put my email address, it goes no where, I guess theres something else to put there or something?

I just need to know where i can put "what i need" in order for my community members to click it and then it takes them to a menu or something to donate money... through paypal

the question is, why does it show up on EVERY members posts? shouldn't it only be the admin?

[C138 Kaysone]

hey where is the file to download?

[eJM]

Read the original post. There is no file to download. The modification has specific directions to modify a template. Make yourself a button and do the template edit. The only requirement is that you have the PayPal Easy Donate hack from vBulletin.org installed (or a similar hack).

This modification does create errors in validation though:

Instead of this:


<br/><a href="billspaypal.php" target="_blank"><img src="images/buttons/donate.gif" border="0"></a>

Use this:


<br /><a href="billspaypal.php" target="_blank"><img src="images/buttons/donate.gif" border="0" /></a>
