vB Version: 4.2.x Rating: (2 votes - 4.50 average) Installs: 5
Released: 18 Feb 2018 Last Update: Never Downloads: 18
Not Supported Template Edits Additional Files Re-usable Code Is in Beta Stage  

This is my first modification I have decided to publish - I am not really great at the programatic functionality of vB. But this was something request and thought it would be a good add for my site.

Adding a PayPal.me Link and the ability to indicate if a member has a verified PayPal Account.

The steps are fairly straight forward, but does require some template and profile hacks as well as image uploads.

1) Download the images and upload them to your forums images/misc directory

EDIT - I can't get the zip to upload, here are the images I used - upload these to your images/misc directory

1 - Paypal.me -
2 - PayPal Verified -


2) Need to add 2 Profile Fields (Admincp->User Profile Fields->Add New User Profile Field)
Note - I added a Profile Group Called PayPal

Field 1 - Single Line Text
Name - PayPal.me username (Note: The user will need to go to paypal.me and create a personalized link ie: paypal.me/username )
Description - If you want to build a PayPal.me Link, go to paypal.me and create your personal link. Only enter the username you select.
Field Required - No
Editable - Yes
Private, Searchable, Show on Memberlist - No
Rest leave as default (unless you wish to set this)

Field 2 - Single Selection Menu
Name - PayPal Verified?
Description -

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)   
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Field Required - No
Editable - Yes
Private, Searchable, Show on Memberlist - No
Rest leave as default (unless you wish to set this)

Make sure that you jot down the field ID numbers!

3) Now go to Styles & templates->Style Manager->Edit Template of the Style you wish to change

Find the postbit or postbit_legacy template (depends which one you are using for your forum) - Doubleclick to Edit
Note - I used postbit_legacy but this should be the same for postbit

Find the following


Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)   
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

and below, add the following


Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)   
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.



Note - Make sure you replace the XX's in the fieldXX with your fieldid from the Profile Field setup


4) Test!

Profile Fields Added


Postbit once Profile Information is added



5) Alert your members


Notes -
1st release on 17 Feb 2018

Thanks for that, the only thing that's needed now is to restrict users from being able to enter in a paypal profile. Or another idea that I had was to not show the paypal button in a thread if users aren't in a certain usergroup.

Can be done by entering in which usergroup has access to it. I'll give it a go on monday to try out the modification.

Also original credit goes to mac27 for his original mod, a decade ago.
Here are properly renamed images.

Oh and you forgot to close the anchor in the code btw.

Great addition!

Had to make a new paypal.me for a site, its a png for transparency as it that site has multiple styles, if anyone uses it, fix the path in the profile field.

I tend not to use the "verified button", because really, there is no way to check it with the modification as it is. So anyone even with a fake paypal can say "verified".

This would be a good place to start though if you wish to improve the functionality of the mod.
