http://www.chipin.com</a>) module to my sandbox (robroy). I'm writing the<br>list for a couple reasons:<br><br>1. I was looking for some peer review of the module. I'll gladly return<br>the favor, it's just nice to have another set of eyes look things over
<br>for usability, security, etc. So if you have a module/patch you'd like<br>me to go over in return, let me know.<br><br>2. The folks over ChipIn dig(g) Drupal and after reading the fundraising<br>bulletin at <a href="http://drupal.org/node/77562">
http://drupal.org/node/77562</a> wanted to help out. They have<br>offered to waive all transaction fees for Drupal donations and wanted to<br>throw a cool ChipIn Flash widget on that page (hence the module), in a<br>block, whatever. Once this module is polished, is that something that
<br>people would be interested in?</blockquote><div><br>I think there are many people in the wider community that would be interested in Chip-In like functionality. <br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
I think it's pretty cool to have the donation thermometer to see how<br>much we still need for each fundraising drive and ChipIn.com is pretty<br>well done.</blockquote><div><br>I'm wary of payment systems in general, and in particular of new, untested ones. I took a spin around ChipIn, and it is quite nicely done. I created an account.
<br><br>How is their support for international credit cards? Our community is a world wide one...<br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
(I also included <a href="http://script.aculo.us">script.aculo.us</a> in the chipin sandbox module for review<br>purposes. Once this becomes a real module, I'm assuming those will have<br>to go for licensing reasons. But, I'd like to include just the bare
<br>minimum of JS in there to get the color palette slide effect, and not<br>have to force users to download an external JS helper module. What is<br>the recommended route there?)</blockquote><div><br>Use JQuery effects. It will likely be in core for
4.8/5.0, and it's much smaller than script... <br></div></div><br>-- <br>Boris Mann<br>Vancouver 778-896-2747<br>San Francisco 415-367-3595<br>Skype borismann<br><a href="http://www.bryght.com">http://www.bryght.com</a>
