Could use a lot of filters

    To make this really extensible for developers, it would be nice if you could add a bunch of filters. For example:

    function dgx_donate_paypalstd_payment_section( $form_content ) {
	// Show the button that kicks it all off

	$processing_image_url = apply_filters( 'seamless_donations_processing_image_url', plugins_url( '/images/ajax-loader.gif', __FILE__  ));
	$button_image_url = apply_filters( 'seamless_donations_button_image_url', plugins_url( '/images/paypal_btn_donate_lg.gif', __FILE__ ) );
	$disabled_button_image_url = apply_filters( 'seamless_donations_disabled_image_url', plugins_url( '/images/paypal_btn_donate_lg_disabled.gif', __FILE__ ) );

	$section = "<div class='dgx-donate-form-section' id='dgx-donate-form-payment-section'>"
		. "<p>"
		. "<input class='dgx-donate-pay-enabled' type='image' src='" . esc_url( $button_image_url ) . "' value='" . esc_attr__( 'Donate Now', 'dgx-donate' ) . "'/>"
		. "<img class='dgx-donate-pay-disabled' src='" . esc_url( $disabled_button_image_url ) . "' />"
		. "<img class='dgx-donate-busy' src='" . esc_url( $processing_image_url ) . "' />"
		. "</p>"
		. "<p class='dgx-donate-error-msg'></p>"
		. "</div>\n";

	$section = apply_filters( 'seamless_donations_form_payment_section', $section, $processing_image_url, $button_image_url, $disabled_button_image_url );

	$form_content .= $section;

	return $form_content;
}

    This would make the paypal buttons customizable without anyone needing to modify your core files.

  • I second this. I have had to make modifications to core files to have the plugin display as my client would like. Adding these filters would make updates much easier.

    @reedbird,

    I abandoned this because it wasn’t customizable enough. I still haven’t decided but will either go with a Ninja Forms form or WP Donations (Available at codecanyon). The former doesn’t have great recurring payment integration with payment processors (i’ve had to write it myself) and the later has a weird two-step form submission process… though should be integrating the code I developed for a direct checkout.

    Finding something that meets all my needs has been much more difficult than i ever imagined.

    Yep, that’s at the top of my list for features. I want to give you the ability to customize without having to hack the main code. It will make all our lives easier.

    No timeline, though. Stay tuned.

    David –

    Really glad you picked this up and looking forward to it. Sounds like you’re going to be a good fit for this plugin. I stuck with it despite the customization issues, particularly because my client didn’t want to pay for a plugin because of their tight budget and because it seemed more ready to deal with international tax issues (like the UK “Gift Aid”, for instance).

    Helga’s one sentence could not have been more true: “Finding something that meets all my needs has been much more difficult than I ever imagined.” Ideally, something that combines the features of Seamless Donations, WP Donations, and that other feature request I submitted, would be the best of all worlds, I think. Oddly enough, WP Donations seems to have also added some of the features that I felt were “missing” when I was choosing the plugin in January.

    Again, looking forward to it. I’d love to provide any assistance you need.

    Awesome. I’ll be adding a mailing list thingy in the next few days, but I will definitely want folks willing to beta test new releases (especially the first few as I get my feet wet).

    Later on, I’ll be trying to develop a strong understand of the features needed, so I can extend the plugin where people need it. Don’t think that will be right away, since I need to make sure I have a good understanding of its coding architecture, first.
