Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
October 16, 20168 yr Hi Mike, thank you for this. I was wondering if you could alter the text to be rich text, so we could have paragraphs, formatting etc? Many thanks!
October 17, 20168 yr Author Hi Mike, thank you for this. I was wondering if you could alter the text to be rich text, so we could have paragraphs, formatting etc? Many thanks! Are you adding your formatting to the "Donation Note" setting? Because it should pretty much use the existing setting and display it's html in the widget.
October 20, 20168 yr Author Hi Mike, yes, it's always been a plain text for me. I'm sorry, I was mistakenly thinking it already supported the editor field. I've noted this for the next version. If you don't mind some test edits, I should be able to provide a patch some time next week.
January 4, 20178 yr Try this and let me know how you go. Open plugins/donatesidebar/widgets/donateWidget.php (The folder "donatesidebar" may be named differently.) Find: $form->hiddenValues['cmd'] = '_donations'; Add BELOW: $form->hiddenValues['lc'] = 'US'; Save. Is there a way to make it detect user language and display PayPal for that user in his language? I mean to make it multilingual.

January 9, 20178 yr Author Any news on the next release please, Mike? Many thanks. Probably not for some weeks now but PM me and I can put together a patch for yourself.
February 21, 20178 yr I would like to replace "Donate now" textual button with a graphical button based on png/jpg, can you give advice which part of code to replace ?
February 23, 20178 yr Author I would like to replace "Donate now" textual button with a graphical button based on png/jpg, can you give advice which part of code to replace ? Try something like this. Open plugins/donatesidebar/widgets/donateWidget.php Find: /* Display our widget */ Add ABOVE: $form->actionButtons = array( '<input type="image" name="submit" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_buynow_LG.gif" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online">' ); Save. Now just swap out for your own image.
May 11, 20177 yr Author This plugin has been updated with the following change log. Quote Changes the donation note setting to an editor field.
May 14, 20177 yr Thank you @Mike John, much appreciated. I just downloaded it from Devfuse and installed it, the rich text is working great now.
July 25, 20177 yr Author The Donate Sidebar plugin has been updated for IP.Board 4.2.x compatibility.
February 20, 20187 yr Author Can you make this so there's an option to list recent donators? Donations are not recorded with the plugin. If you want to record donors, I'd suggest my Donations app instead.
April 24, 20186 yr Author IS this working for 4.3 Not tested yet but there shouldn't be any problems with this particular plugin.
August 14, 20186 yr IS this working for 4.3 yes, we have it running. Try this and let me know how you go. Open plugins/donatesidebar/widgets/donateWidget.php (The folder "donatesidebar" may be named differently.) Find: $form->hiddenValues['cmd'] = '_donations'; Add BELOW: $form->hiddenValues['lc'] = 'US'; Save. Excellent! Just what I was looking for! But ... .. was hoping this would be a configuration option through ACP. Is it possible to create a language / flags dropdown for us (or is that part of premium version of plugin)? As all these parameters are readily available: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/api/locale_codes/#localize-the-buyers-checkout-experience or atleast match the lc value to the IPS default language value?

Noted for a future release. It might be possible to use the locale data IPB stores for each user to directly show the correct language in Paypal.
August 14, 20186 yr It would be great to have the donations actually sent as donations, so that the recipient wouldn't have to pay any PayPal fees.
August 19, 20186 yr Author It would be great to have the donations actually sent as donations, so that the recipient wouldn't have to pay any PayPal fees. What country is your receiving Paypal account in? I am setting up using the "_donations" method but it appears that may not cover all countries.
August 19, 20186 yr What country is your receiving Paypal account in? I am setting up using the "_donations" method but it appears that may not cover all countries. Netherlands. I can receive donations with a manually created button though.
September 3, 20186 yr Author I can receive donations with a manually created button though. Can you PM me the html of that button and will compare?
September 3, 20186 yr Sorry about the confusion. The donations that came in without fees were done by users sending "personal payments". Payments coming through the button, although they're donations, are subject to fees in the Netherlands. 😠Shame on PayPal.
