Donation?

Is there a place where I can make a button and then it can go to like a place where people can donate money to me?

Yes, you can make a new navigation button that says donate or put a donate link in the portal or something like that

You can add a link at the footer of your forum too. Admin Panel>Misc>Under the tab Credits management>press Donations>Then mark the fieldDisplay the link to the donation page on page footeras yes>press save.

Ok, i did those steps but it still wont show up on my site...

I want it to be on the Homepage but when i did those steps it didnt show up anywhere...

Please help

follow these steps how to create navbar:
acp --> display --> homepage --> Headers & Navigation --> navlinks --> add a customized menu
--> menu ( Donate )
--> picture ( https://2img.net/i/fa/empty.gif )
--> text ( Donate )
--> redirection URL ( /donate.forum )
--> rights ( check all )

hope it helps

If I follow this process to setup a donation button, does the money donated will come to my account or I will just get the credits?

if i was you make an account with paypal and then make a button from them and then they will give you a code to add to your site then if some one clicks on it it will send them to the page and then when they send money it will go to your account.

Hope that will help

Thank you very much Sanket for the detailed reply. Can you please tell where in my forum I need to put the button code so that it gets displayed on my main forum page (somewhere below my banner)?

Thanks again Sanket. I have one final question regarding this issue.

Following your above post if I put the code in my forum, I will get the money in my paypal account, right? I believe the donation thing that can be setup from the admin panel gives me credit. So these 2 are different, isnt it?

Thank you.

Thank you.

your paypal account will get the money that your users will send you.

The one on the ACP is not going to do the same i think your have to remove that one so no one will use it as i Dont think that one will send your money to you


I just removed my one and then added my own Button and then set my paypal account up to it

Thanks apeman. I have never used the one in my ACP. Do I need to do anything before adding my own paypal button?

no just remove the one that you added in the ACP and then add your paypal one to your site buy nav bar, Forum widget or on yur home page,
the members will see it and if they wish to send money to your site the just have to click your button
