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!

Because it should pretty much use the existing setting and display it's html in the widget.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
