Lucas von Mecheln Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Would it be possible to implement a feature that lets a member donate to give another member the status? Sort of like Reddit's gilding system. They would be able to donate say, $1 to show appreciation to a post another user made, and that would give that user the selected group for an X amount of time.Cheers! Link to comment

Michael.J Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 Donations app has been updated with 5 more bug fixes. See bug reports here. Link to comment
craigf136 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 (edited) I have a couple of bugs with the Donation Mike, the text in the donations box for the donations goals sidebar appears to be getting cut off. This is what I have This is what is displayed. Happens on our main theme as well Secondly, I have the donation goals sidebar active on the forum, however, if I want to activate this on another page I can but it lists all goals (even when they are set to not to be featured, private goals etc). I cannot select from the drop down to choose a specific goal. Hopefully you can reproduce but if you need further info, let me know. Edited July 3, 2015 by craigf136 Link to comment

I cannot select from the drop down to choose a specific goal.That's actually intended but I will log a bug report to remove that for single widget goals as you wouldn't really need a truncate in that case.Just to confirm on the drop down issue, you can't actually select anything when you click that drop down? Doesn't appear or just too hard to select a goal with just a long list? Link to comment
craigf136 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 (edited) Thanks Mike, With the second issue, nothing can be selected from the drop down (i.e. the drop down doesn't happen). Edited July 6, 2015 by craigf136 Link to comment
Michael.J Posted July 8, 2015 Author Share Posted July 8, 2015 With the second issue, nothing can be selected from the drop down (i.e. the drop down doesn't happen).Can I have acp access to this forum? Seems weird it would limit the amount of options available. craigf136 1 Link to comment
Greg W Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Ooops, posted this in the wrong topic earlierIs it possible for me to edit the donation box in the side bar in IPS4?Also, when setting up the widget in the side bar, if I click the edit button, nothing happensI want to change the button to an image if possible & also remove the donation amount from that box so that it can be filled in on the next page?

Any changes need to be applied to the widget file directly now.The edit button being there is a bug which I've logged a bug report for. And I will be very likely removing the amount option from the widget next version due to some conflicts with the next page. Greg W 1 Link to comment

Amount field will be removed next version but if you can't wait, I can put together some edits for you to do this in the meantime.2. If you want to edit the text, edit the language string "block_donateDonate_text" in your admin cp.3. I've just looked into the possibility of adding an image button instead and it does look like this is possible. Do you have an image in mind that I can test it out with? Greg W 1 Link to comment
