It happened when:
- I added new currency
- moved it to top
- try to change currency symbol

Donation stats doesn't display decimals :(

For the moment this is not one of my priorities.

Little suggestion, I have members that send donation with bank transfer.
Maybe you can add an option to manually add users to the received donations?
I don't suffer from insanity. I enjoy every minute of it.

I had already thought to add something like this. Because if the "PayPal IPN" is not available, it will be useful to add a donation manually.
But I don't know when I will add this feature.

Option for recurring donations?
If you like, take a look at the css used by my forum goals ext: http://www.phpbb3bbcodes.com/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=2662
I think its a bit more stylish for the goal bars, but probably a matter of preference :D

Group change for donators doesn't work at all.
Shoud I configure something more than this ext ACP?
I have special group made and theres no action after succesful donation.

And BTW... is it possible to input somewhere in data exchanged with paypal user name? I've got paypal confirmations, but there is no username so It's hard to link payment with user.

Not for the moment, because this is not the same process.

It's planned to rework the CSS. I'll take a look to your ext.

Do you have an entry in your Transaction log?
If yes, does the username is linked to transaction?

Normally, if a donation is not made anonymously, the extension retrieves the username of the member.
If you go in ACP -> Extension -> PayPal Donation -> Transaction Log Does the username is "Anonymous"? If yes, click on the Transaction ID and check the "Item number".
The number after uid_ is the username ID of the member. If the number equal 1 that means the donation was made anonymously.

I'll try to add a option to link a anonymous donation to member

Transaction log is empty. No logs are made.
Admin, mods, users logs have no transaction notification.

I have empty log in your ext ACP.
I dont know phpbb<->paypal transaction data, but I meant username in email notifications received from paypal. I know it's possible. I have used dmzx's paypal ext and there is username in received email.

That's why the auto-group doesn't work.

Does the PayPal account is a Business account?
If not, you must upgrade to a Business account (it's free of charge).

After that, maybe you'll need to enable an additionnal setting (Instant payment notifications) on your PayPal account.
