Question for Forumotion

Sorry for putting this in the wrong forum earlier...

Well i have set up a test board so i can get familiar with the boards you provide, and the admin area.. So i can help assist users with coding etc..

I noticed the Contribution/Donate page and was wondering if it is homemade code by Forumotion? If it is, is it possible to use on one of my other sites... and if not, can you point me towards where it was you got it from...

I can easily do one myself, but your one is exactly how i need it, with the validate, and 2 choice buttons...

I can easily do one myself,

I highly doubt it.

It would have been made by forumotion themselves, and they will not release it.

You highly doubt? What ever you say buddy... All i would have to do is make a form to enter the amount and a button to click donate, lol what is so hard about that? I have coded one for phpBB before, i never released it though.

Just the one Forumotion have is exactly how i need it...

Then why you using forumotion :O!?!?

Btw, sorry, but, im having doubts believing you! - Proove it, tell me how to get the username from a logged in phpbb user.

What ever you say

I do not have to prove myself to a 15 year old thanks....

But out of respect...

Code:

if ($user->data['user_id'] == ANONYMOUS)
{
  // user logged out
}
else
{
  // user logged in
}
$post_username = request_var('post_username', '', true);

Obviously when i am actually making something, ill make it better and exact...

Lol, coinsidence, i googled that and i found it somewhere else!

Nooooes, thats incorrect still. And what does $user-> mean? Is it a feature of PHP?

Who said im 15? Anyhow, even if i was, i can be 12, i still know more than you.

PLEASE dont BS, thats what got me asking questions in the first plac.e

Dude you are age is to the right under your join date

Obviously you found it through google because i won't be the only one using will i... sooo please stop trying to get an argument... its not going to work.

You could also use:

Code:

<?php
if ($user->data['user_id'] == ANONYMOUS)
{
  echo 'Please login!';
}

else
{
  echo 'Thanks for logging in, ' . $user->data['username_clean'];
}
?

Half way there, read the post above it for a clue!

And yaaaah, i am 15, doesnt make me an idiot though, i actually know what im talking about (not saying you dont btw)

But, i found the EXACT same code, thats what got me wondering whaaaaat :O,and it wasnt the right one.

Dude OMG, obviously i can't use my own code because then i would have to integrate it to make phpBB read it, where as the above code is already made for phpBB....

I never once said you were an idiot, nor did i imply it...

What code would you use then? Unless you have build it in with the database, there's not much difference you could make.

I never said its wrong, you are almost there, its just, if i put thaty in a php file i will get an error, you could test it out and you will get the same thing.

How would i make it actually work (if i installed it on my forum (which i host myself (i have no idea why i still visit here either )))?

What is $user?

I would not put that by itself in a phpbb file lol... You seriously underestimate other people, and your elders...

I know what I am talking about, I do not need to prove myself to you or anyone else.

Last question(s)
What is $user?
What is a phpbb file?

Just answer them, please!

Your second point, i do understimate yoyou, one reason, you talked about stuff not knowing what you said (i think) - and stfu about 'and your elders...', lol, your older than me so your more superior to me? I doubt it...

Anyhow, wow, we're off to a bad start :O - Answer and lets start again (but without all the talk about php/bb)

Not superior, this isn't my forums or yours, so none of us is more superior than the other...

Besides, my line of work is Graphics based.. I do not do coding for living or even a hobby for that matter.

The donate system is fairly easy, when a user clicks donate they go to the paypal page and pay... I don't want a system where it puts up the user name of who donated... Just a donation page, which like i said before i have done already.

Do you have PHP hosting?
If so, read up on the PayPal API, It'll tell you how you use it and stuff, and you could develop it.

The forumotion guys wont give it out.

I don't what anything fancy, just a page with some code on it, which i have done before like i said lol... Don't know why you started asking me all kinds questions for no reason...

Well like i said in the start post, if they don't then fine... I'll be doing my own..This was directed more towards the staff and admins rather than the members.

Whatever the codes, the staff does not know about it.
As Nelsaidi said,

The forumotion guys wont give it out.

funny why a simple "The forumotion guys wont give it out." or "No its not possible" will not suffice,
have to get into each others throat first. well... hope you had fun.

Funny the need to unneceaserily bump threads too.
