NukeTreasury charges shipping and handling now

registered · Posted: Sun Feb 24, 2008 11:51 am

I think Paypal must have changed their API a bit starting in January 2008. I suddenly noticed donors being charged shipping and handling. This is because my site also sells a few t-shirts, and I have a shipping profile setup in my paypal account. If you don't have this, you probably won't see this problem. Anyway, looking at the latest Paypal documentation I think I have a fix.

Find your modules/Donations/Donations.html file.

Find this:

Code:




<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick">

and change to this:

Code:




<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_donations">

Its long been on my to-do list to clean that module up. It is riddled with PHP warnings. I've fixed the XHTML errors.

I am preparing to release the next version of treasury since I now maintain it. I have made it xhtml compliant, cleaned up all the notices, warnings, errors, etc. and added some other features. You probably should just submit any changes/fixes to me and I will include them when I release it, giving proper credit, of course Wink

Oh cool!

Raven, would it have multi-currency support?
If it does I can finally get rid of the UK currency version I have available on my site.

Uh, maybe? There's a good chance it could especially if you send me the requirements or better yet, the code Smile

. Since I live in a vacuum here in Kansas, I only think of/in USD and have never had an issue Laughing

Obviously I'm not as close to releasing this tweaked and spruced up version quite yet Wink

. Time to collaborate!

Apparently Paypal has made yet another API change. I haven't confirmed this for sure yet, but it looks like donation buttons now ignore the os0, on0, os1, on1 parameters now. There was a post about this issue on the paypal community forums from a paypal support person.

The NukeTreasury script was using those for the "Yes! Tell the world I gave my hard earned cash." vs keeping the donor anonymous. If this is true I think I will hack mine to conditionally use the custom field: either put the users name there or $anonymous.

I've always used the custom field.

So when are you going to release the code? Smile

The way I figure it, it will be in 1st quarter 2009 ROTFL

I am so Microsoft anymore.

Gremmie, you know my situation. I reprioritize every day the best I can Wink

I completely understand, lol.

I just know your forums are going to get innundated with questions about this if it really is a permanent change. The gaming clans use this script a lot.

I recoded my NukeTreasury last night, switching from the on0/os0 to the custom field to catch the user's name. I also fixed a boat load of warnings and XHTML problems in the module. I'm hoping to receive a donation shortly to see if it worked. Smile

I'll clean up the admin section and then post my changes somewhere.

Well according to a paypal guy, I could switch it back to _xclick and then add a hidden shipping variable set to 0.0. Then the original NukeTreasury code that uses os0 and on0 would work and my donors would not be charged shipping.

Thanks. As I mentioned above, I already have it XHTML compliant and all the notices, warnings, and errors have been eliminated. Maybe if I sent you my new code then you can make your changes and send it back?

Posted: Wed Mar 05, 2008 12:03 pm

Sounds good. Looks like I only need to add a hidden shipping = 0.0. I also added a check inside the ipn script to not process the transaction if it was not a donation. Otherwise non-site members sending me money for other things were ending up in the block as anonymous.

Posted: Wed Mar 05, 2008 12:24 pm

Actually you should make that an admin option. I know people who use it for all money received.

Thanks guys for collaborating on this. Wish I had the time to contribute, but will most certainly retrofit my site to what you release and let you know if I run into any issues.

There has always been a problem with this module on various systems. I recently switched my site back over to RavenNuke and attempted to install Nuke Treasury V1.1 only to find a problem in the admin module when trying to access the Treasury Administration.

I researched all the forums and found that I needed to change all the $dbi and corresponding $sql statements. Since installing this on 3 RavenNuke 2.4v sites and had no problems, I decided to archive all the files to a new zip file and make it available to everyone. I still need to verify that the ipn feature works by posting transactions from paypal.

telli@codezwiz.com made all the changes from v1.0 to v1.1.

You can find this zip in the downloads at http://www.bobbygs.info as Nuke Treasury v1.2 (This is only to identify it from all the others on various sites).

Find your modules/Donations/Donations.html file.

Find this:

Code:




<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick">

and change to this:

Code:




<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_donations">

Its long been on my to-do list to clean that module up. It is riddled with PHP warnings. I've fixed the XHTML errors.

I added this plus all the changes required to make it fit W3C criteria.

bobbyg, I wasn't able to download this on your site. Not sure why, but it says module isn't active, even though I was able to search and find the download. We'll probably want to look into why the nukeNAV menu isn't displayed problem when you receive that error message...

Could it be that the download link isn't correct?

Posted: Wed Sep 23, 2009 10:59 am

Sorry, been up over 32 hours. Messed up the link in the download. It is fixed now,

I already released compatible versions when RN 2.3 was released including XHTML compliance and other bug fixes.
