i don't have paypal but i want to use Donate function!

[febern]

I Don't have paypal account because paypal is not allowed here in my country. I mean, i can send via paypal, but i can't recive money with that. But i really would like to use the Donate function, but the problem is as i don't have paypal account i can't fill those fields in Configuration of General admin.

Now, if someone clicks on Donate, and fill the amount and curretly type and GO it says:

General Error

Website PayPal account has not been set up to receive funds, please contact our administrator to report this issue.

Which is understandable of course! I would like to cosmetic a little bit to:

- if someone click GO ---> get "Thank yo, we will contact soon" message instead general error message.

Can someone help me? it would be important for me

I would think this would work...

OPEN:
language/lang_xxxx/lang_main.php

FIND:

Line number On/Off | Expand/Contract | Select all

$lang['LW_PAYPAL_ACCT_ERROR'] = 'Website PayPal account has not been set up to receive funds, please contact our administrator to report this issue.';

REPLACE WITH]$lang['LW_PAYPAL_ACCT_ERROR'] = 'Message of your choice';[/code]

I answered that question.

How do you want them to donate funds? cash, check, money order, credit card? So you are wanting an alternative to the PayPal system?

It might be easier to set up a form of some sort where they fill in information and it makes a post to forum that they can post to but only admins can read.

Yeah i was thinking about it..........but i have several questions about it and for example usergroups. Because i would like the following (and i still not sure i can do or don'T)


1. When someone register --> would be great if he get a trial period time, in this time he can get everything on the site

2. After this period time when it's over ---> would great if he can't able anything and he gets a message for example about that if he want to use the full site in the future, he should pay some money per year.


payment: via bank transfer or post

At the moment im just trying to understand this integramod system, about groups. I created a group and give the permissions of downloads but i dont know how i can able to take effects about trial time. I know there are some options, but not clear for me yet. <img> Im trying to understand but hard, cause my English is not soo good. Can i talk with you on msn or skype, please?

Feburn. I will look at this later tonight. I think I have a fix for you but I need to look at the code first. I think the fix is easy I just need to check out the code.

In response to your question about paypal. You can open an offshore account in a country where paypal is accepted, and then order paypal's Debit Card which would give you access to your donation money from ATM's worldwide. This may require traveling and passport issues and maybe difficult to do. It may not be worth the effort if you're only expecting nickles and dimes.

Or an easier way would be to purchase a commercial application that has payment gateways that you could integrate into a custom block.

But there is a way to get donations off of your site. You just can't be so hard pressed about it having to be paypal, unless you're willing to do some travelling.

In response to your other question. Simply create a payment group and a trial period for that group, and then set it to automatically add users with "0 Posts".

-Yeah im just doing that.

If i would like that this trial period is over after 1 day, then should i type 1 day at "This trial period should last" field????
