09th November 2020 - New version 2.8.2

The Joom Donation developer team are proud to announce the release of Joom Donation 5.8.2. This is a third release for the 5.8.x series of Joom Donation with new improvement and addresses issues introduced in previous versions.

What new in Joom Donation 5.8.2

1. Improve Invoice feature
From this version, we improve Donation receipt function by adding more configure options in Donation Receipt layout.

• Invoice Start Number: Set the start number for the invoice. If you set it to 100 for example, the first invoice will have number 100, the next invoice will have the number 101...
• Reset Invoice Number Every Year: If set to Yes, invoice number will be reset every year
• Invoice Number Length: Choose the length of invoice number. For example, if you set it to 4, invoice number will have the following format IV0001, IV0002..
• Invoice PDF font: Choose the font use to generate invoice PDF. Please DO NOT change it unless you are having problem with characters in PDF invoice

2. Add new email type: Offline payment received
Now, when you open Joom Donation Configuration -> Tab: Emails & Messages, you will see new email configure option: User email body (offline payment received)
This email will be used to sent to donor when user already make offline payment and administrator already changed donation record from Unpaid to Paid.
Administrator also can re-send email with Offline donation records, and based on Paid status of records, Joom Donation will send corresponding email (Offline payment or Offline payment received) to donor.

3. Add Donation complete Url
Another configure option is added, it's: Donation complete url, by entering specific url in this configure option, donor will be redirect to different page instead of Donation Complete layout of Joom Donation, it allows you build up unique Donation complete page.

4. New tags added
Joom Donation supports more tags in Donation receipt and Emails.

• [USER] - Name of donor
• [USER_IP] - User IP address
• [ANONYMOUS_DONATION] - Yes/No
• [PAID] - Paid/Unpaid

Thanks

I just purchased this version and I cannot download it - Norton says the file has a virus

Hi Kepler,
It's strange, could you please raise new ticket on category: Joom Donation and we will send the package to you directly.
Thanks

The software was happy to update when pulling directly from your site. So I am fine. But try download the software with Norton LifeLock AntiVirus loaded and it won't let it happen because it thinks there is a virus.

I have scanned the package with Norton Antivirus, no problems found.

Thanks

Hello, I updated the version, I was very interested in the option of the payment email received.
But it does not work for me, I configured the text, I make a donation in offline mode, from the backend I change the status to "paid" but the system does not send the mail (it does not appear in Log mail either)

I take this opportunity to comment that it would be ideal to also have the option of Mass Mail that the other components have

I am not very clear about what is happening. I did a couple of tests (with the same donation changing its status) and in only one case I received the reply email.
I'll keep trying

EDIT: I already understood what happens, but it should not be the behavior of the component:

When it goes to paid status, it does not send the email automatically, but if later, when it is in that status, I click on "Resend mail" then it will send the email defined in the option "Offline payment received"

It shouldn't work like this as it adds an unnecessary manual step ...

Hi Ezequiel Lidijover,
After changing Paid status of donation records, you can select the option to Send Notify to donor. Then, the donation confirmation email will be sent to user who paid for the donation
Thanks

I don't understand what you mean by "you can select the option to Send Notify to donor." After changing the status, the only way I found to send that email is "resend email" but it is not very practical to have to do a manual step to send the payment confirmation email.

Hi Ezequiel,
Actually, when you change Paid status of donor, Joom Donation won't send the notification emails to donors. You should click on the button: Resend Email at the toolbar to send the confirmation emails (based on Paid status) to users.
Thanks
