We're happy to bring you the first Beta version of our second major rewritten XenForo 2 only mod: DragonByte Donate!
This version has been completely rewritten from the ground up to be a completely native XenForo 2 modification, so this version will not run on XenForo 1. As a result, the UI in the AdminCP has received a major facelift, and now looks & feels as you would expect when running a XF2 mod.
Before we delve into the changes:
- This is a Beta version, with sweeping database changes. Do not install this on a production forum without a backup that you can revert to in case something goes wrong. But please help us test it!
- This version will not run on XenForo 1. Going forward, the focus of development will be on the XF2 version.
- The DragonByte Credits integration requires v5.1.0 Beta 1 or newer.
Without further ado, onto the changes!
Donation thresholds (formerly known as "PM Thresholds") can now be limited to specific donation drive(s), and to specific user group(s). In other words, if you have set your user groups up in such a way that veteran / long-time users get a new user group, they can receive a different "thank you" message to a new member contributing.
You will need to re-configure your donation thresholds, in order to select the applicable donation drives and user groups.
In the front-end, the UI for listing donation drives has been changed, and no longer uses the donation drive widget for its display. The list has been redesigned to be more like a forum in the node list.
The "Short description" for donation drives has been changed to use HTML instead of BBCode, to put it more in line with standard forum descriptions. You will need to manually change any existing short descriptions that used BBCode. The "Full description" still uses BBCode.
Lastly, individual donations now has an overlay pop-up displaying more information regarding the donation, while still respecting the "Anonymous" flag.
