I'm specifically setting up payments as donations in this widget but it sounds like I might need to put a disclaimer in now that Paypal is adding fees in some countries now.

The Old Man Posted November 21, 2018 Posted November 21, 2018 Hi Mike, Donate Sidebar is great, I've looked at the full version but it's a bit overkill for me. However I haven't had a single donation this year via the Donate Sidebar, everything is configured okay but I wondered if the 'total raised progress bar thingy' could perhaps be displayed all the time on the widget, even if it was an option to do so? This might encourage more donations if members and visitors could see if donations are low. Perhaps some members assume others are donating so they don't need to. Also do you have any plans to support Stripe as I understand it's better than PayPal, or even options for donation themed providers like BuyMeACoffee or crowdfunding sites? Many thanks.

I'm not sure I understand, if the "enable status bar" setting is enabled. It should constantly show the status bar in the widget to all users then. Is that what you mean?

This should actually be quite easy to include via the "Paypal Override Code" setting. Just enter any custom html you have for Stripe or BuyMeACoffee and it will display that code rather then the Paypal form.

Hi Mike, It was enabled but I just realised that my Current Donations Total in AdminCP was 0 out of 1000. I changed it to 5 and it displayed the bar saying 0%. So if you haven't received a donation it doesn't show the bar. So my suggestion would be could it be set to still display if the current donation is at 0 as this might encourage someone to make the first donation. 4 hours ago, Mike John said: This should actually be quite easy to include via the "Paypal Override Code" setting.

interfx Posted March 29, 2020 Posted March 29, 2020 Works fine, however when you "Enable Paypal Sandbox" you get the above error. Is there anyway to make the "Donate Now" button to open a new window?

usmf Posted December 31, 2020 Posted December 31, 2020 Thanks so much for this great widget! What a help it's been. Is there a way to remove the faded "10.00" that shows in the typing field when the widget is set for the donor to input their own donation amount?

The easiest way would be to find and edit the "enter_amount" language string in your language manager. Clear the 10.00 value it currently has. usmf 1

Edjazoli Posted February 16, 2022 Posted February 16, 2022 The front end description translation(in the block) works ok, please feel free to check it here https://xbox-vibes.com but button “donate” , “current donation progress” or flash message “thanks for donation” not saving in ACP.

When you search the language manger, do you see duplicate strings for those language strings?
Edjazoli Posted February 16, 2022 Posted February 16, 2022 Yes, but only in German. One saying plugin- donate sidebar, another - plugin"none"
