Link to Mod

This mod will add a "Donate" link in the top menu, which will take you to your static Paypal Donation page.
On the admin side, under "current theme" you have two textareas for entering the Paypal info.

Ive been having some issues trying to get this mod to work at all.  Maybe someone could help or point me in the right direction.  I installed the zip through the package manager in smf and everything went fine.  It shows it as being installed as well.  However, I got no donations button, nothing in the admin side under current theme or in the permissions area. 

I read through this entire thread and followed directions to get the button working by editing a template file(btw im using the default template on smf 1.1.2) and then i also took the premade paypal form script and added it where it says to in the comments on Paypal.template.php

Im not sure what else to do...Im new at this so be gentle
www.clanofsin.com/forums is my site so far.

Ok I have read through most of this forum and here is where I am stuck. I am NOT using the default template. If I switch to the Core/Default I can see the Donations button. I cannot figure out how to get it to show in my non-default template. I have tried to add the files and code manually without luck. I have the ability to configure it in Features and Options - I am ONLY missing the Donations button on the menu!  Maddening!

Link to Mod

A Paypal Merchant account is required, for more information visit: hxxp:www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/xcl/rec/donate-intro-outside [nonactive]
Paypal generates the html form code you will need for one of the textareas, the other textarea is for maybe a reason why the members should donate, or get fancy like the examples on the Paypal site.

This mod will add a "Donate" link in the top menu, which will take you to your static Paypal Donation page.
On the admin side, under "current theme" you have two textareas for entering the Paypal info.

Special thanks to Bloc for the textarea code

Tested on 1.1RC2 fresh install.

are you using the default theme?

[ShadowStriker]

yes

[snork13]

yes

if you can check the files, see if all the modification are there. You should get 2 boxes, you can enter the text and save it.

 Execute Modification ./Sources/ModSettings.php   ?? anyone

i would guess you have other mods installed, you may need to install manually

[GUN Kindbud]

Hi, I have installed this on a fresh SMF 1.1.2 and I have the donations button on the admin panel but when i click it i get a blank page.

The package manager doesnt work correctly on my server but I did a manual install and followed the xml file word for word, extracted all files to their directories and run add_settings.php. Am I doing something wrong here?

thanks
