Well there is a way around it (sorta). THIS IS THE EASIEST WAY, below is a more complex way if you want to use a form.
Create a topic in your forum called Donate Points. Tell users to PM/Email a Administrator (preferably a designated one) and tell them to say who the want to donate points to and HOW much. I would also tell them that it can not be reversed.
Then you do this:
Using your administration user account go under Modules/Points Donation.
Enter the user name of the person donating and subtract the amount. You will see their current points and a new value that you can enter. By subtracting the donated coins from their current amount you would enter the NEW value.
Example_ User donating has 5000 points and they want to donate 500. You would ENTER the NEW value of 4500 points and click save. You have just deducted 500 points from them.NOW, you enter the name of the user they are donating to. Here you will ADD the donated points to that user.
Example: User has 500 points and has been donated the 500 points. So you would enter 1000 into the NEW value box and hit save.
THE FORM SUBMITTING WAY:
This way is a bit more complex, but also works. If you want to check how ours is set up send me a PM and I will let you see how.
First set up an account at jotform and make a donation form and click on share form on menu. Copy the URL link to your form to post in a topic.
Then create a topic/category on your forum for users to donate.
Put in what ever text you want along with the LINK to your form.
Here is what ours looks like:
Our link takes them to this:
You will receive an email (the one you set up with jotform) of the filled out form.
Now here is how you do the donation on the forum this takes some a couple of steps but it can be done. I know time consuming
Using your administration user account go under Modules/Points Donation.
Enter the user name of the person donating and subtract the amount. You will see their current points and a new value that you can enter. By subtracting the donated coins from their current amount you would enter the NEW value.
I.E. User donating has 5000 points and they want to donate 500. You would ENTER the NEW value of 4500 points and click save. You have just deducted 500 points from them.
NOW, you enter the name of the user they are donating to. Here you will ADD the donated points to that user.
Example: User has 500 points and has been donated the 500 points. So you would enter 1000 into the NEW value box and hit save.
I am sorry that this took so long to explain and if you are confused let me know and I will try to walk you through it more.
