Donator Express

** Note: All Donator Express web portal versions from version 1.6.6 are insecure. A new version is in development and will be released shortly **

What is Donator Express?

Donator Express allows members on your server to view and purchase ranks/items without any hassle. Users get their purchased item automatically. The plugin only requires a one-time setup, and then you can sit back, relax and watch the donations come in!

Works with 1.7.9!
Download the portal and plugin here: http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/donator-express/files/

** Note: All Donator Express web portal versions from version 1.6.6 are insecure. A new version is in development and will be released shortly **

Why Donator Express when you have BuyCraft?

First of all, Donator Express is completely free, ran by YOU the server owner. Unlike other plugins Donator Express uses "Tokens" which is virtual currency users need to purchase to buy donator packages (ranks/item packages) which you have setup for your server. The tokens are completely manageable and you control their distribution (example: 1 Token = $1 USD). YOU are the central bank their is no third party controlling the tokens, you are in full control and you decide initially how much 1 Token is worth. You can also give out tokens in-game to a player as a reward or accomplishment they may have made. Players automatically get ranked in-game once they confirm their purchase. Donator Express can run ANY set of console commands which you specify to be ran once a user confirms their purchase in-game.

Features

Fully Configurable: - You decide the price of your Virtual Currency; - You choose the name of your Virtual Currency (example: Tokens); - Easily change the currency you accept payments in.; - Add Unlimited Ranks and Items that users donate for on your server.; - Add any set of Console Commands to be ran once a user confirms their purchase.; - Easily manage the Virtual Currency required to purchase a particular rank or item.
Secure: - Random Security Key used with MD5 hash to encrypt passwords in the database.; - Notification Email: Get Email Alerts when a transaction has failed or marked as Fraud
User Friendly: - Users required to confirm their purchase by typing /donate confirm to prevent accidental ordering.; - Users can easily check their Virtual Currency balance in-game using the command: /donate check.; - Automatically add Virtual Currency to the users account once they have completed their payment.; - Easily contact a server administrator via Web Portal; - Plugin available in English, French, Spanish, and Dutch
Admin Friendly: - Need help? Easily get support within the Admin Panel; - Add packages with the same price and it will still work! (Some plugins don't allow this).; - Admin Center in the Donator Express Portal: Easily manage Users, Income, and Tokens!; - All purchases, and transactions get logged to a database table. Easily make a customized page!

Screenshots

Example of a user about to exchange their tokens (virtual currency) for a package that has been setup on the Minecraft Server.

The user has now purchased the package using their virtual currency and their remaining balance is now displayed to them.

Additional info

This plugin utilizes an external version checking system, which means that the plugin makes a connection to curseforge.com and the following may occur (note that this plugin only checks for files and does not download them)

- The plugins version checked against approved files

- Downloading of the plugin files

- Launching of the plugin files downloaded

You can disable the check and/or automated download via the configuration of this plugin.

This plugin utilizes Hidendra's plugin metrics system, which means that the following information is collected and sent to mcstats.org:

- A unique identifier

- The server's version of Java

- Whether the server is in offline or online mode

- The plugin's version

- The server's version

- The OS version/name and architecture

- The core count for the CPU

- The number of players online

You can disable the stat collection via /plugins/PluginMetrics/config.yml if you wish.

That poses as a security risk if we try to sync passwords with WordPress.

Sorry :/

Thanks for the prompt response...and for including it in the next release!

Also, if you're working on the forum synchronization using a SCM system (like github) and need any help, I'd love to help out. If you're interested, shoot me a PM and I can tell you more about myself and try to help out in anyway possible.

Otherwise, keep up the fantastic work!

Hm donations tracks. Never thought of that. After I get the forum group sync thing done and released, I can start working on that.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Hi, that is correct. At the current moment the plugin is meant to handle either ranks or item packages not both of them at the same time. - This suggestions has been taken into consideration.

Thank you for your kind comments!

If I wanted to add item sets (one-time item packages) in addition to ranks, would "upgrading ranks" be messed up?

For example, if a user purchases an item package for $5 and then tries to upgrade to a rank that costs $10, would the plugin wrongly cut the difference between $5 and $10 to make the upgrade cost $5?

If that's how it works now - and, reading the documentation, that's what it sounds like - it would be awesome if you could add separate donation tracks, which shouldn't be too difficult to do. For example, you could have one-time purchases (they would be specified as one-time purchases when they're created) and cumulative ranks that share one "price ladder," allowing users to upgrade their rank without it being affected by any "item packages" they've purchased.

Keep up the awesome work, though! This is definitely my favorite donation plugin out right now and forum integration (esp. with Xenforo) would be amazing!

You did not setup your database correctly. Make sure that you are allowing outside connections if you are using cpanel.

Try installing imagick and enabling the php module. To test and see if you have imagick installed on the web server create a new php file and copy paste this in it:

<?php if( class_exists("Imagick") ) { echo "Imagick is installed."; } else { echo "Imagick is NOT installed!"; } ?>

Then simply access the php file you have created and it should return whether you have it installed or not.

why yes it does all you simply have to do is install the web portal once and install the plugin on the servers you would like to use, using the same database connection.

@BoesesMammut

For your first error you would need to have installed and enabled the PHP GD Library so the server can generate the image. If you can private message or post a comment of the url where you have this installed I can further assist you.

Hi You are using the latest version correct? And if you want to switch packages, you need to type /donate cancel first. If that still doesn't work, what is the error? Also if you could supply any console errors that would be great as well.
