[Aayush] PayPal Donate 1.04

[Postpar Dave]

I was able to get it to appear, after being inactive for a long time, by removing and reinstalling.

However, I can only get it to show the top five donations; is there a way to get the full list?

I've installed this add-on 2 months ago maybe and I thought everything was okay, I just checked the donations and I found that there's some donations has been done but I never got them, any idea why?

I had a similar experience. I went to paypal and got a report from them. The numbers didn't add up, otherwise. I think the system is showing the right totals, though.

You should be redirected to this page after payment is completed. (donations/complete)

You have to enable auto return in your PayPal account, otherwise it will ignore the return field.

From the PayPal documentation

Auto Return is turned off by default. To turn on Auto Return:

1. Log in to your PayPal account at https://www.paypal.com. The My Account Overview page appears.
2. Click the Profile subtab. The Profile Summary page appears.
3. Click the My Selling Tools link in the left column.
4. Under the Selling Online section, click the Update link in the row for Website Preferences. The Website Payment Preferences page appears
5. Under Auto Return for Website Payments, click the On radio button to enable Auto Return.
6. In the Return URL field, enter the URL (http://yourforum.com/index.php?donations/complete) to which you want your payers redirected after they complete their payments. NOTE: PayPal checks the Return URL that you enter. If the URL is not properly formatted or cannot be validated, PayPal will not activate Auto Return.
7. Scroll to the bottom of the page, and click the Save button.

I followed the guide and at point 6 I entered this return url http://www.mysite.it/index.php?donations/compete but after making a donation of 1 EUR via paypal I have been redirected on http://www.mysite.it/donate/ page and not in the "thank you page". Why? How can I test the thank you page?

Hi,

is this addon still supported? In the overview it sais version 1.04, but in the XML file it is written version 1.03. So what is correct now?

If it is still supported, what are the plans for new features?

I would love to have the ability to run 2 donation campaigns at the same time, one for monthly server costs and one for software the users wants to have for my site...

Do I have to have business/premium PP account to run this addon successfully?

It would be nice to have an option to simply disable the goal portion. We don't really have a goal each month for donations, just want to have a page where our users can donate if they wish.

Agree!!

My users are donating yet the widget on the main forum keeps telling me USD 0

I already verified that all donations checked at "confirmed" and the system is taking them, it's the widget that refuses to update.

Any idea how to fix this?

No, as long as people can donate to your PayPal it'll work.

any way to not show the donation goal?

Do you plan to update this for 2.X ?
