Treasury

[Matthew Schenker]

Good Morning,
This modification looks great, but like others I'm also confused.  I've read all the posts in this discussion, but I just don't understand what the IPN details are all about.

Am I supposed to just leave the IPN entry as is in the configuration screen?  What am I supposed to change, if anything?

Matthew

Here are the only changes you need to make for Paypal. Straight from the read me. Look at #s 2,3 and 4.

The other changes in main config are to set up how you want Treasury to work on your end.

If you choose to ignore this advice, you are on your own - ask PayPal - they get paid to answer your questions. I don't mean to be rude, but the info is provided for a good reason - so you can help yourself.

If you have problems and do not have full access to the PayPal account profile, DO NOT contact us!

   1. I leave your selection of a PayPal account entirely up to you - I will not provide advice on this issue.
      Sorry, but some things you simply need to research and determine for yourself.
      Yes, I have had a previous unpleasant experience with a user in this regard - no matter what advice I provide, there is always one person who gets it wrong and tries to blame someone else for their mistake.

   2. Treasury requires IPN settings in your PayPal account "Profile".
      • Set 'IPN' to 'On' in "Instant Payment Notification Preferences".
      • This will also require a URL to be entered - anything will do, but not blank.

      The URL you set here is NOT important as Treasury operates from its own Notify and Return URLs which ignore, and are independent of, your PayPal settings.
      • Why? If you already have an IPN setting activated for some other program, it will continue to function for that program.
      • Example? If you have already set your IPN URL so that you can use, say, Paid Subscriptions, then you can leave the URL on PayPal as it is, and still use Treasury.

   3. You should also modify "Payment Receiving Preferences" in your "Profile" area.
      • Check your option for "Block payments sent to me in a currency I do not hold:".
      • You should set this to the second option "No, accept them and convert them...".

      Failure to do this means you will have to manually confirm each payment within your PayPal account and the donation will NOT show on your site.

   4. Treasury settings in "Website Payment Preferences".
      You need to set,
      • Set/Leave 'Auto Return' to 'On', repeat 'On' in "Website Payment Preferences".
      • Set/Leave 'Payment Data Transfer' to 'Off' in "Website Payment Preferences".

   5. Settings in "Currency Balances".
      These shouldn't need changing - PayPal default is fine - a primary currency which is Open and all other currencies Closed.
      If you do not have special reasons for operating with multiple open currencies, DO NOT fiddle!
      If you do have special reasons, you will not receive exchange rate and settle amounts from PayPal for non-primary currencies which you have Open.
      You WILL have to manually edit all Treasury transactions for currencies you receive that are not your Primary Currency!

Good Morning,
OK, I have the Treasury Modification installed, and I put an entry in the Main menu to link to it

But my members are getting this error:
"You can not view Treasury."

Here is the page I am linking to:
http://www.myforum.com/index.php?action=treasury#MakeDonation

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong here?

Thanks,
Matt

[weightman]

sounds like you need to set the permissions...

[SgtMic]

What weightman said.

[Matthew Schenker]

SgtMic, weigyhtman,
OK, I found it!  I didn't realize the permissions were set from the usual SMF permissions area and was looking for it as an option inside Treasury!

One more question: my members are asking for a way to have automatic monthly donations.  For example, they might like to have $5 donated every month without having to re-submit the donation each time.  Is there an extension of Treasury that does this?

Thanks for a great modification!

Matt

[SgtMic]

What version of SMF and Treasury are you using?

Hey, that is a pretty good idea for this mod. In the meantime though, I wonder if the subscription mod could get the job done? I haven't played with it: http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=413

[SgtMic]

If you're using SMF 1.1.4, use the subscriptions mod.
If you are using SMF 2.0 b3, subscriptions is built into it.

Treasury has not been set up yet for recurring subscriptions.
But, if you want to add donating members into another membergroup, treasury is set up to do that.

Great Mod.

Run it on SMF 2.0 Beta 3.1 Public ? ? ?

Thx

[Resourcez]

No.  In fact there is a separate version for SMF2 but since beta 3.1 public failed to fix an installer bug in beta 3 public (which they said was resolved), I'm still holding it back.

[metallica48423]

which?

[Resourcez]

Academic now - I've commented here,
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=229747.new;topicseen#new

It seems many bug fixes are being saved for Beta4 - obviously installer issues weren't on the critical list for 3.1, and very few mods (if any) would have encountered the problem anyway.  I could, but don't intend to, work around the issue - I'll wait until the installer works.

I believe that at this time, it only works with Paypal.

[Daggers]

This is a great mod and has worked without a problem during testing

At present the Display Name is set as Yes, is there a way to have 'No post as anonymous' set as default?

[SgtMic]

The donator chooses that option at the time of donating. It's a drop down option.
