Hello,


Your answers:


1: Yes, there should be a default affilate widget, or if not, you can code an affilate widget.
2: I don't know, be creative .
3. Yes, if you have a paypal account, you can create a donation button that is hooked up to your account.
5. Yes, paypal is a method you as an admin can use to purchase credits.
6. Do you mean the copyrights? If so, you can get rid of these using credits.
7. Yes, of course, why wouldn't they be .

hi ,

i wonder where i can buy credit with Paypal method? cause i just see Skrill is available.
aslo about create a donation button that is hooked to my account ? can you give me the way to do it , and how ?how i can create a category with Forum and to make it for special members? and how ?

hope you can help

You can buy credits using paypal by going to the miscellanous area of the admin panel and hitting buy credits, you should see a paypal option there. There are total of 3 options for payment I belive, Skrill only being 1.

You can a forum 'private' by creating a group, then in the 'forum' permissions, have it so that group and above can and/or post in that forum. I would suggest being in 'Advanced mode' in both the admin panel in general and on the forum permissions screen.

hi ,

yes , i can see 3 options . all pass / skrill / cashu , but no Paypal option

Hmm that's weird, I just checked on my forum, I see paypal as an option:




May I ask what country or area you live in? Depending on that, the option may or may not be available to you in your area.

hi , i believe your right , im from Lebanon . and no Paypal available for our country . but how i can add or change this ..cause i do have account ..made from another country by a friend of mine ..and usually i use this account . and the problem i don't have another option for paying .or do anything without Paypal.

hope there is a way to be changed . Thank you for helping me .and im so glad

Unfornatelly, if paypal is not available in your country, then it can't be used as payment method from Lebannon or another country with restrictions or limitations on it, this is beyond Forumotion's control and unfornatelly I don't see this being changed. There is nothing you nor I can do about this, sorry .

Are you trying to connect a private Paypal account to your Forumotion account?  If yes, it is not possible.

No @SLGray , he/she wants to buy credits using paypal, however, its not available as a payment option probably due to the country he lives in (Lebannon).

-Brandon

Correct.  We have no control over which countries allow PayPal.  You will have to contact PayPal directly about that.

at least if its possible to attach the donation icon to special forum i would create . cause i did saw some forums created at forumotion ..and did have a donate icon ..

Do you have the donation option here:  AP > Misc. > Credits Management ?

i do have :

Credit management : - summary
- spend credit
- buy credit
- history
support : - report abuse
hosting : - image host.

Exactly you do not have the donation option.

ohh , i think i do have a bad luck with this forum . Thank You so much for your support.

Some communities have different options.

can you give me some names of such communities please?

When I say communities, I am referring to the different language communities like English, French, German, Arabic, etc.
