Hi Bill,

You should find it straight forward enough to install it manually. First of all you'll need to download all of the files that you need to edit from your server to your local machine. For this Mod it's the following files:

AdminIndex.pl
Admin/AdminSublist.pl
Admin/ModList.pl
Languages/***/Admin.lng
Languages/***/Menu.lng
Sources/AdvancedTabs.pl
Sources/SubList.pl
Sources/Subs.pl
Sources/TabMenu.pl
Variables/Menu0.def
Variables/Menu1.def
Variables/Menu2.def
Variables/Settings.pl

Then open up Donation_Page_V0_3.mod from the Zip package in a text editor and basically just follow what it says - For an example, this is the first edit that you'll need to make:

<edit file>
AdminIndex.pl
</edit file>

<search for>
### END BOARDMOD ANCHOR ###
</search for>

<add before>
$donation_page_mod = "donationpage|$mod_list{'donate'}|$mod_list{'donate1'}|";
push (@boardmod_mods, "$donation_page_mod");

</add before> 

It should be self explanatory by looking at it really - it just tells you which file to edit, which line to find and what code to add (either add before, add after or replace). Save the files that you've edited and upload them back to your server. Upload the other files that are included in the package and you should be good to go.

You might find it a little confusing at first, but once you've got the hang of it you'll kick yourself at how easy it is.

I hope that makes sense to you.

Hi Bill,

Okay. If you have any problems please feel free to ask and I will try my best to help.

Hi,

You can find a version for 2.4 here:

This one installs easy and works great!

Thanks for this one Derek.

BTW, Is there a way to link to the "Donate Now" button from another image, maybe from another point in the forum?
