Donation System using Virtuemart

Post by barnett » Fri Jun 30, 2006 8:12 pm

I've created a simple, yet powerful, hack for virtuemart which turns it into a donation system.  Now non-profits can setup all kinds of fund, projects, and products and allow the customer to enter the donation amount.  Plus there are many other options using this Custom Attributes Extended Hack.

Barnett,

Seems like the virtumart.net site is down right now.  Any other places we can view this at?

Best,

Now how did you know that we've just been discussing how to implement something like this with one of our clients?  :)

Thanks!

Hi,
This sounds like exactly what I am looking for right now! VirtueMart is still down. Is the link you posted where we find the hack you mentioned? Is it a complete extension itself, or do we install the regular VirtueMart extension and change some code somewhere?

Thanks,
Ripley

You install virtuemart and then follow the directions on the hack to edit certain files.  It will be clearer once their since comes back online.

OK, being the NON-technical representative in the group...

Can this be applied toward MEMBERSHIP purposes?

To my knowledge virtuemart doesn't integrate with membership management.  And so I don't think this hack would help.

Take a look at this discussion about payed membership:
[url=http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,1111.0.html]
http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,1111.0.html[/url]

That should help.

Does the 2.0 hack work in VM 1.0.13a?
