In reply to: [Seamless Donations is Sunset] paypal sandbox issueHi cybershot!
The sandbox test payments should be recorded. There are a couple situations that could cause this not to happen:
First, make sure you are using the latest version – there was a bug I recently fixed that could cause payments to not record.
Next, please send me your log (Seamless Donations > Log) so I can take a look. There have been a handful of times when the chatback to PayPal (when confirming the payment) has failed because the hosting provider was blocking fsockopen the function. (Most hosting providers do NOT block this, and those that do frequently unblock it on request.)
Also, be sure you are doing this on a host accessible from the internet (and not localhost or a computer behind a firewall) – otherwise PayPal’s IPN will not be able to reach Seamless Donations to register the donation. A few people have attempted to test from a MAMP/LAMP install behind a firewall, and PayPal simply can’t reach those computers without extra effort.
Let me know – and please forward the log to allendav at allendav dot com
Cheers…

In reply to: [Seamless Donations is Sunset] table data?Hi cybershot!
If your post table is wrd_posts, you should see donations using something like
SELECT * FROMwrd_postsWHERE post_type = "dgx-donation" LIMIT 0 , 30and then details, e.g. like the amount, should be in your post meta table, e.g.
SELECT * FROMwrd_postmeta` WHERE meta_key = “_dgx_donate_amount”Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Seamless Donations is Sunset] paypal account changeHi everyone!
Cranberrycove and I tracked it down to a bit of PayPal generated button HTML for the old account that was still on the page. Switching over to the text mode of the editor and removing the old PayPal button code did the trick.

In reply to: [Seamless Donations is Sunset] Changing the lookHi!
If I were to put a unique ID on each section, would that help?

In reply to: [Seamless Donations is Sunset] Radio Buttons MalfunctioningRadio button misalignment is almost always due to unusual style overrides from your theme. You may need to get your theme designer to take a look.
If your theme designer believes there is an error in seamless donation’s CSS, let me know and I will be happy to fix it.
Sorry I can’t help more – with the vast number of themes available it is impossible for me to handcraft CSS patches for each.

In reply to: [Seamless Donations is Sunset] table data?Hi cybershot!
There are plugin options in the options table, but the best place to retrieve the donations data is from the dgx-donation custom post type – each donation is saved in a post of that type.
Hope this helps!

In reply to: [Seamless Donations is Sunset] paypal account changeHi!
On the settings page, there are two places to enter email addresses. The top one is where you would like notifications of donations to be sent. The second one is the email address linked to the PayPal account. Make sure you enter the correct email address in each.
Let me know if this doesn’t clear things up.
Cheers!

In reply to: [Seamless Donations is Sunset] Hooks for thermometerHmmmm… The fund array is exceptionally simple right now and is stored in a single option something like this:
array( 'Name of fund one' => 'SHOW', 'Name of fund two, which is not displayed' => 'HIDE' )I think I would refactor that in a new version to something like
array( array( name => 'Name of fund one', visibility => 'SHOW', goal => 1000 ), array( name => 'Name of fund two, which is not displayed', visibility => 'HIDE', goal => false )where false could indicate no goal.
In an init hook or somewhere, you’d have to recognize that the old style array is present and transfer any data into the new style.
Of course, you’d also have to change the code that displays the fund options to recognize the new array structure.
Probably not take long to make these changes – if you write a patch for it, I could take a look – I hope to have the plugin on GitHub soon for pull requests too.
Cheers…

In reply to: [Seamless Donations is Sunset] Designated Funds QuestionHi runamuk0
Versions before 2 were all hand crafted / bespoke versions (very different code than what we have now) – and it did not have the short code style you cite – I am thinking maybe another developer has added that to your version for you?
The first version released to the public here on WordPress.org was 2.0.2

Hi Mike!
Thank you for your vote of support!
I wouldn’t recommend modifying the code of the plugin (’cause your changes would be lost in the next upgrade).
I will try to add a send-them-to-a-specified-page option in an upcoming release. In the meantime, try returning something like this in dgx_donate_display_thank_you() – which you can find near line 158 of dgx-donate.php
<script> window.location = 'http://www.example.com/newlocation'; </script>To test without donating, you can just put ?thanks=1 at the end of the URL for your donation page, e.g.
http://www.example.com/donate/?thanks=1
Hope this helps…
