[DBTech] DragonByte Donate

[DBTech] DragonByte Donate [Paid] 5.2.0

No permission to buy (€14.95)
How are payments sent and received? I see in xf payment profiles Paypal using your email address is being discontinued, do I need to setup an api with Paypal, as that requires a business account.

It works the same way as setting up payment profiles for account upgrades, so you might need to use the new PayPal handler if that’s the case.
 
@DragonByte Tech what sort of permissions and conditions does this support? I need to switch from TH Donate which to be fair has been flawless over the years but alas appears to be unsupported long term.

In particular I am checking if your add-on supports the following perms:

1. Multiple donation campaigns
2. User upgrade options - for a) donating X amt over Y days b) donating X amt per campaign c) donating X times
3. Some kind of user donation page would be good (or account profile section) where users can view what they've contributed

Let me know please and thanks.
 
1. Multiple donation campaigns
Fully supported; donation campaigns can have their own goals / runtime / recurring settings / payment profiles :)

2. User upgrade options - for a) donating X amt over Y days b) donating X amt per campaign c) donating X times
This is not as extensive as you'd like, unfortunately. Here's the current list of criteria which can be used for the "User group promotions" feature in XenForo:

The reason why there aren't more extensive options is for performance reasons, as I don't want to have to trigger potentially expensive queries to check whether a criteria matches.

3. Some kind of user donation page would be good (or account profile section) where users can view what they've contributed
No such page exists at this time, though it's certainly an interesting idea. If you have a mockup (or a screenshot of a page, if it exists in the other addon) I can add it to the next version :)

Thanks, totally cheated and had Gemini do a rough draft of what I'm thinking off ;). I can do more prompting later on today.

Obviously some functionality cannot be extended to users i.e. create campaigns but it captures some elements adequately.

This would be located in the account profile page. It's informational page as well as incentivizing user to signup for more donations.

Looks good, I'll skip the pie chart but the other bits should more or less be doable :)

Could I trouble you to repost it in the suggestions forum here: https://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/support/categories/dragonbyte-donate-suggestions.484/ ? I don't know exactly when I'll have time to get this done, and I don't want to forget and/or for this to get lost.

Thanks!

If we don't have extensive criteria does the add-on at least support adding users to X per donation event? It's basic but at least I can segment my donors into groups based on what campaign they've contributed to without going to expensive user group promo queries.
 
@DragonByte Tech - Is it possible to hide/disable the public donation log?

Edit: Also - if a member chooses "Annymous" - will they still receive any applicable user group designations?

Hi,

You can set the "View donation history" permission to "No" to hide the donation log. Users donating anonymously does not prevent them from receiving any entitlements such as user groups.

Exactly what I was hoping for on both parts. Thanks!

What version of XenForo and the addon are you running? If you’re on XF 2.2 it’s possible that feature doesn’t exist there as it might have been added in the course of the XF 2.3 updates.

Latest of each:
  • XF 2.3.10
  • DB Donate 4.0.6
Perhaps it was added in the latest beta version?

Derp, you're absolutely right, it is added in v5 😅 I haven't heard any bug reports from v5 so it should be okay for you to run. If you run into any issues post them @ DBTech and I'll assist as quickly as I can :)

DragonByte Tech updated [DBTech] DragonByte Donate with a new update entry:

Hotfix

This add-on has been hotfixed to address an issue affecting all front-end pages while this add-on is enabled. This issue was caused by additional security measures introduced in XenForo 2.3.13.

The latest version has been patched, and can be downloaded at no additional cost. If you are running an older version and you are unable to upgrade for whatever reason, please let me know the exact version you are running and I will apply the hotfix accordingly.

DragonByte Tech updated [DBTech] DragonByte Donate with a new update entry:

5.1.0

Update highlights​

This version focuses on bug fixes, with multiple issues with drive recurrence being fixed, multiple issues with the "Thresholds" feature (and "Thank you" notifications in general) being fixed, alongside a bunch of other fixes.

There are too many to explain all in great detail, but hopefully the drive recurrence feature should be much more reliable, same with the "Thank you!" notifications. Other than that, a few privacy leaks for anonymous donations...

DragonByte Tech updated [DBTech] DragonByte Donate with a new update entry:

5.2.0

Update highlights​

This version adds (the long-overdue) support for recurring donations. Users can see their recurring donations from a new page in the Accounts interface, and update the payment method or cancel their donation from there.

Please note that you must only offer payment profiles that support recurring donations if you want to avoid confusion for users when they attempt to set up a recurring donation.
