Hi I was thinking about this plugin from a few month back and I think I am going to jump on it today. But one
question before I go ahead and purchase this. Does the player automatically receive the package once payment has gone through or do they need to do some command?
Hey @Webmaster10 I am currently switching over from a custom
donation plugin a old dev of ours made for us awhile back, the only feature I miss was our plugin would send a message to the player in-game when they received their stuff. You
should add something like "Package(s) have been applied. Thank you for donating!" or something.
One question I cannot find the answer to is IF I already have a paypal bus account connected to an ecommerce
website (read: already using my IPN) can this be set up as well... or do I require a WHOLE NEW PayPal acct to do this?
It requires a whole new account, we have a active donation store in place already before we moved to this one here and we had to use a temp PayPal account for testing due
to the fact that we already have the IPN set up on our business account. I believe only 1 IPN can be used per account.
hello, is there any way to make the server adress accept doamins aswell not only IP's ? Some of us are using
dynamic dns services so our IP is changing .
Well that's a deal breaker for me. Most scripts only need IPN to be active and it doesn't matter what URL is used as the individual scripts overwrite the IPN
URL on the fly. If SDonate really can't handle IPN URL creation on the fly then it's a no-go.
For example I have multiple sites that use different cart scripts via PayPal and they all use their own IPN string which is passed to PayPal at the time of the
transaction. They all work perfectly.
IPN data (name, address, email address) is so useful to me that I had a small "catch-all" IPN script written that I use as the default IPN URL in PayPal. It
catches all payments or the sending of money to my PayPal account that isn't covered by one of the cart scripts and creates an XML file with all the IPN data in it. That
way I never have to wonder who sent me money for what.
If SDonate sort out that IPN problem, and also add the ability to forward IPN data to another script (or receive it) then I'd be very interested. My thinking is
I'd like to be able to use a membership script on my web site and auto-add donators to the members area. That could easily be achieved with IPN forwarding to the
membership script.
Im not sure if this was questioned earlier, i am wondering if this is fully automated, example being someone
donates, then they get a code or something send to their paypal email or something like that?
it is fully automated. when you purchase SDonate you set it up with your paypal info ect. so when someone buys a package you have made you can set it to give when they
next join the server or after they purchase. its probably bsest to set it to next join incase the server is down or restarting when they purchase.
Well I happen to know that one of the plugin devs is working on a much simpler method than the current ones. No
third party web site (no API or secret key), and no MySQL database required. It's a self-hosted PHP script and an Oxide extension like the PlayRust.io one. Easy.
That's as much as I know for now.
My concern with third party web sites is if they go down, the donation system goes down too. I'd rather run it on my own site and fix it myself. (Plus I don't
want to share my donation records with anyone else, but that's just me, I'm a bit private in some respects.)
Only my very first donator was able to get their permissions automatically with the command "usergroup add
{{VAR=STREAMID}} EXAMPLE" after that is hasn't worked. How can i make it work as advertised?
We just setup our sdonate and are now trying to use it in sandbox mode. We have followed each step supplied
by sdonate but now when trying in sandbox we are getting an error message from paypal.
We are sorry, we are experiencing temporary difficulties. Please try again later. If this error occurred while making a payment, avoid duplicate payments by checking
your Account Overview before resending a payment.
For some browsers, this problem can be resolved by clearing or deleting cookies.
It is not even needed, sDonate has the option to grant a permission and remove that permission after X days. (Be sure to use "{{VAR=STREAMID}}" for letting
sDonate automatically selecting the right player)
