By me a Drink

[Peterae]

I am currently integrating a buy me a drink modification, you may come across settings to enable this function, do not turn this feature on yet, i have more integration and testing and setting up to do before it would be useable. 

It will add a function to allow guests and members to donate via paypal to individual members, hopefully it will help fund peoples work.

I will post in this thread when ready

Thanks
Peter

Nice idea Peter. 

[Peterae]

Thanks Poynt, I thought so 

The problem with the modification i am installing is that it only allows US Dollar to be transferred, i had altered this instead allow the person sending to manually set the currency to send, what i need is to know the currencies you want me to add?

I have so far USD, GBP, EUR added, what's other currencies do we have with members of the forum for Paypal use?

OK Australian Dollar has been requested, i will add that

OK i have proved this mod works by sending a donation to a member in the UK
Paypal took 5.4% from the money that the person received.

Anyway so the mod works although i have not tried a foreign donation, this is how you set it up.

Click your profile button up the top menu

then Modify profile and click forum profile
at the bottom you can turn it on, select which you want people to buy, ie cigar or beer

Enter your paypal email address and tick the guests box if you want to acept donations from guests.

When finished click the Change Profile button at the bottom right, you should now be setup to accept donations.

I'm not sure how well it will work or how many of you will use it, let me know if it is working or if you have any problems. 

Paypal does divulge you real name and email address in the process, but not your address from what i can see.
