BadgeHunter Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 (edited) Hello everyone, first time poster and possible customer :) I'm wanting to purchase the Donation Tracker v2.0.4 but I have a few questions before I do. Do you offer the service of installing the aplication and getting it set up? If so... Do you cusomize the hooks to match our already installed hooks? And last, do you charge any extra to install and set the application up? Edited January 15, 2010 by BadgeHunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would you like it customized? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadgeHunter Posted January 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 Ok great, glad you install it as I'm not sure I can deal with that right now ..lol As for the Sidebar, no real customization, just want to make sure it is the same width, header size, font size, etc...etc. as my current hooks on the sidebar and looks uniformed. The reason I say this is I was playing with someone elses app that allowed a hook on the sidebar and it was way our of whack and didn't look like nothing on my site. So I removed it as I'm not a customization guru and didn't want to deal with the headaches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do offer basic customization but for poorly made skins that don't follow IPB3 standards, you'll probably need to talk with the author.

BadgeHunter Posted January 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 Well I don't think its a poorly mad skin, I'm currently using the Viper 3.x.x skin from Skinground. All I care about it that it will line up vertically along with the other hooks int eh sidebar and not be any different in size such as width, the height doesn't matter. You can view my site by the url under my avatar. That will give you a idea on what I talking about :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no skinner but should be able to customize if the skin has different css for the sideblock. If you want can put together a mock sideblock you can try out?

BadgeHunter Posted January 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 (edited) Well I tried adding some other hooks to the sidebvar people had made, but I'm no skinner or major coder, so I had to remove them because they were calling for a different images other than what my current blocks do now. For example: My current block use the background image rowbg.png (Background Gradient) Some of the sidebar hook apps, I've tested uses the gradient_bg.png image, and the headers look different. When I simply tried to change the image name to make them match, it whacked the entire hook/block up, so that was the extent of me trying to mess with code....lol But I'm sure you're more knowledgable than I am :D Edited January 16, 2010 by BadgeHunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadgeHunter Posted January 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 (edited) Here is something I found on other forums, so I figured I would ask if it were true. People were mentioning to be careful with the auto promotion. A member said he was a Admin and sent in a donation to the site and it promoted him to a Donator/Supporter of the site and removed his admin rights. Is this true? If so, you may want to make sure the application checks to make sure it doesn't demote people if they donate to the site. I would hate to lose my admin rights. But then again, I haven't bought this app yet. Just something I want to check on before I commit to it.

Skinground would of modified that to match. Not at home so going from memory but should be in the Look & Feel Tab > select skin > Board Index > hookRecentTopics template bit.

I'm not aware of any such bugs with the IPB2.3 or 3 versions of the Donation Tracker. Was this using the Donation Tracker? If you want, can setup a demo you can look at?

BadgeHunter Posted January 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Well its your application, if you say there is a settign to alloow you not to be promoted, I believe you. As for the skinning situation, that I didn't know. Oh well, at least I know that now. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexandria Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Would like to purchase this but have a few questions first: We have various donations, free donations to board, then a fixed amount for schooling and a fixed amount for VIP. Are we able to set this in the mask so the the donator can choose and does it, when VIP chosen, also auto promote to VIP with the relevant package? Thx in advance :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
