General Customization Options was created by oogled
I'm looking to customizing the forms for a customer, so I have a few questions on whats possible or not.

My customer wishes to switch the Donor Information and Donation Information around, would this affect how the information is stored?

Also what would it take so that the information that the person enters into the form is transferred to the form on paypal? This seems to frustrate people out of donating when they have to enter their information twice.

Is it also possible to change the checked box to have recurring auto checked instead of one time?

Hi

Thanks for using the extension . Here are my answer to your questions :

My customer wishes to switch the Donor Information and Donation Information around, would this affect how the information is stored?


=> Yes , you can switch between them . There will be no affect at all .

Also what would it take so that the information that the person enters into the form is transferred to the form on paypal? This seems to frustrate people out of donating when they have to enter their information twice.


=> The information is transfered already . However, I believe Paypal will check these information, so you need to enter it correctly (For example, for state field, you need to enter shortcode of state such as : IL (instead of Illinois), CA .....

Is it also possible to change the checked box to have recurring auto checked instead of one time?


=> Yes , It is possible . Please open the file components/com_jdonation/views/donation/view.html.php, look at line : 139, change it from :
Code:
$donationType = JRequest::getVar('donation_type', 'onetime') ;

To
Code:
$donationType = JRequest::getVar('donation_type', 'recurring') ;


Hope my answers is clear to you .

Thanks ,

Tuan

Yes thank you those are very helpful. Another issue we seem to be running into is that I've selected CAD as my default currency, but when it goes to paypal it has USD as default currency with no way to change it.

=> When did you download the extension ? It was an bug on previous release (same version, but the bug was fixed about two or three weeks ago) . Could you please download the latest version again and update to your site ? if you want, send me FTP account of your site and I will be happy to check it for you .

Thanks ,

Tuan

Hi

I have checked the latest version and found out the issue with currency selection. To fix the issue :

1. Please open the file components/com_jdonation/payments/os_paypal.php, look at the line 100 :

change it from
Code:
if (isset($data['currency_code'])) {

to :
Code:
if (isset($data['currency_code']) && $data['currency_code']!= '') {

2. Look at line 161, change it from
Code:
if (isset($data['currency_code']))

To
Code:
if (isset($data['currency_code']) && $data['currency_code']!= '')

After that, the issue will be fixed .

You can also simply download the latest code from server and update to your site .

Thanks ,

Tuan
