I have gone through it and changed my email like I was supposed to (donations do work FYI just not meter) and I checked to make sure all the IPN and other info from paypal and made sure it was ok that paypal sends back to my site. I had a sw engineer friend of mine that does perl look through the code and through my MySQL database and did not see anything either. He set up a XOOPS site just like mine on his and same module and his meter worked and mine does not.

Thanks everyone. XOOPS is so much nicer than that nuke stuff I tried to work with. I look forward to learning more.

my smilies only work in the shout box. Not in the forums or any other place. Here is the code that I found that I think is the problem. Mind you I am VERY new at this but very interested in learning. I am all self taught and appreciate all the work you all do.

Code from xoopscodes.php

echo "
\n";
//Hack smilies move for bold, italic ...
$areacontent = isset( $GLOBALS[$textarea_id] ) ? $GLOBALS[$textarea_id] : '';
echo "     

".$areacontent."
\n";
//Fin du hack
}

/*
* Displays smilie image buttons used to insert smilie codes to a target textarea in a form
* $textarea_id is a unique of the target textarea
*/
function xoopsSmilies($textarea_id)
{
$myts =& MyTextSanitizer::getInstance();
$smiles =& $myts->getSmileys();
if (empty($smileys)) {
$db =& Database::getInstance();
if ($result = $db->query('SELECT * FROM '.$db->prefix('smiles').' WHERE display=1')) {
while ($smiles = $db->fetchArray($result)) {
//hack smilies move for the smilies !!
echo "";
//fin du hack
}
}
} else {
$count = count($smiles);
for ($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++) {
if ($smiles[$i]['display'] == 1) {
//hack bis
echo "";
//fin du hack
}
}
}
//hack for more
echo " ["._MORE."]";
} //fin du hack
?>





Any ideas? Thanks everyone.
