PUDS v0.2.7 - PayPal-ULX Donation System

[Wully616]

PUDS v0.2.7
PayPal-ULX Donation System

This web based application is an automated donation system.
This has been made to ease the strain on myself on my server when users donate and I'm not around to add them to the correct rank they donated for.
PUDS solves this issue.
Since I don't know Lua this method works for me and is customizable to my linking.
I have tested this extensively on my server and using paypals Sandbox, the scripts can be edited to work with the sandbox easily, I recommend you google how the sandbox works before playing around with it.

If there is any bugs/features you would like please comment here or on github!


Features:

• Automatic Promotion to the correct ULX group upon successful payment.
• The user does not need to be ingame for it to work! The server just needs to be online.
• Provides a framework for custom donation systems without the use of LUA addons.
• E-mails buyers of successful payment & promotion or if the payment or promotion failed.
• Saves donator information to a MySQL database for future processing (eg creating a list of donators)
• Users can log in through Steam to fill out their details

Example:

This is my own setup for my sandbox server, hosted on my website. Using the ULX MOTD to pass things such as the player's steamID, map, hostname to the index.php I created for my MOTD. It autofills out player name and SteamID when they view it ingame, this speeds up the processes further and helps to ensure there is less chance of mistakes happening, though the player can still change the data (perhaps they want to donate on behalf of someone). Once the player donates through the MOTD they automatically get the rank within a few seconds.

_{<Edit - JamminR> No need to quote entire first post.}
I am willing to make a Lua addon for this which syncs with the MySQL DB if you like because using RCon is unreliable, I will start when I have the time.
Also if I get around to it I could maybe send you some CSS or something to make this look a little nicer?

Hmm, I cant get it to work with my Database, but other than that it runs perfect.

What sort of issue are you having with your database, is there any errors?
Have you previously created a table called donations or something else?

The ipn.php file automatically creates a new table in your database called donations or whatever $DBTABLE is set to in config.php. If you already have a table created but do not have any fields in the table it may fail to create the fields since the script will assume the fields are already there as the table exists.

Very nice idea here. When I have time later today, I'll take a look at it and give it a spin on sandbox.paypal.com

Added an example of my own donation MOTD on the op.

I'm not the best with Paypal, and maybe other people may not be. So I would suggest maybe put a little more instruction on this thread or maybe the readme. Maybe even make a youtube video on it.

 I literlly spent like three hours just trying to get anything to work, sadly I was unable to get it to work. Though, it might just be a me, but sandbox.paypal is acting stupid..

I'm looking to work with TheAndroid1 to make it more userfriendly and configurable view a webbased GUI, but I will certainly create more of a step by step tutorial tomorrow to explain the installation.

Glad to hear you've made friends here on the ulx forums to help you. Though, I don't host servers anymore, and I made addons for ulx myself now, I like to test other people's addons and see fit that they work good and correctly.

I hope to see ulx server that do donations use this.

I have also created a tutorial, forgive the formatting on github, it's my first time using it to create a wiki
