Hi All,

I created a PayPal donation module, settings are: button image, account name, description, request comment, currency and extra module info. Localized for Dutch and German. Its available for download for free, including source, here: http://www.apollo-software.nl/Default.aspx?tabid=69 (feel free to donate if you like it )

cheers,

ummm, nope, this is just a simple button generation module ;)

but that would indeed be a nice enhancement ... i'm a bit busy with other modules now though, so maybe in the future ...

cheers,

Erik,

Nice job, I got it up and running, no problem.   One issue though, the images for the donate buttons are not showing. 

Thanks, Pete

Hi Pete,

Are you running dnn in a virtual directory, or in the root of your web. I just did a test install, and the images show up fine... i didnt test it in a virtual dir though, its possible that i made a mistake with the calculation of the image path.

Could you paste the path that's calculated (view source of the page, look for "PayPalDonations/images/button0" and check the complete path) and the path it should be.

cheers,

erik

Hello Erik,

I am running on a virtual directory, the path that is calculated is

_http://portal.XXXXXX.us/dnn3_dev/dnn3_dev/DesktopModules/PayPalDonations/

There's an extra dnn3_dev thrown in, so the correct path should be

_http://portal.XXXXXX.us/dnn3_dev/DesktopModules/PayPalDonations/

Thanks,

peter

Hello Erik,

I went on my localhost, which is set to the root and I still have the same error.

http://localhost/DotNetNuke/DotNetNuke/DesktopModules/PayPalDonations/

As you can see, DotNetNuke is repeated. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks for your time,

Hello nocturnal,

I'm using DNN 3.0.12 for both.

Thanks

Pete,

i changed the calculation of the button source from

resolveURL("~" + Me.TemplateSourceDirectory + "/" + Localization.GetString("button0" + ".src", LocalResourceFile))

to

(Me.TemplateSourceDirectory + "/" + Localization.GetString("button0" + ".src", LocalResourceFile))

Maybe this solves your problem with the replicated directory

Other than that, there is an error in the en-US (default) localization file, where the locale is inadvertedly left out of the name of the button source, i fixed that small omission as well. You can download the new version at www.apollo-software.nl/?tabname=modules

Hello Erik,

I downloaded the newest version and unfortunatly it still has exactly the same problem, both on the server as well as on localhost.

On localhost http://localhost/DotNetNuke/DotNetNuke/DesktopModules/PayPalDonations/

should be http://localhost/DotNetNuke/DesktopModules/PayPalDonations/

as you can see there's an extra DotNetNuke.

Thanks

ok, it *should* be fixed now .... the problem was caused by a small error in the install procedure, which caused the vs generated resx files to replace the language resource files ....

you can download the new version here: www.apollo-software.nl/?tabname=modules

Peter,

You installed dnn in a virtual directory (ie localhost/dotnetnuke) .... thats a thing i didnt test yet (although its the suggested installation method of dnn, in my opinion its not a very comon one if you are running just one site). I will have to test that further, i probably do something wrong with the calculation of the path.....

cheers,

Hello Erik,

Excellent, excellent job, everything works great. I like to also thank you for your contribution to the DNN community, most excellent.

Thanks again for the great job and terrific response.

Peter,

thank you for your kind word , very good for my ego.... (i wont stop you from donating something on my site though )

anyway, let me know if you think of any easy to implement features, and i will see what i can do...

cheers,

erik

That is reasonably simple to do ... Would you prefer one fixed amount, or an editable list of proposed amounts, so the user can select one?

cheers,
