[TEST] "Buy Me A Beer" Feature Returns...

[MikeLantz]

Hey Warriors,

I am just testing a new WarriorPlus feature and would love your help...

I am adding back the "Buy Me A Beer" feature of the old forum as a part of some new features I am adding to WarriorPlus over the next few days.

LINKS

Buy Me a Beer (no specified amount):
http://www.warriorplus.com/buybeer/MikeLantz

Buy Me A Beer ($5):
http://www.warriorplus.com/buybeer/MikeLantz/5.00

Please test them out and let me know if you have any problems with those links.

As you can see, you simply use your Warrior username (add plus '+' signs for spaces), and the optional dollar amount as shown in the second link.

Enjoy!

Mike

PS: Try it out for yourself! All you need to do is replace my Warrior username with yours in the URL...

You just need a WarriorPlus account and a Paypal email address on file. If you have an account, you can add a Paypal email address on the "user options" page.

I just made a payment to you for $0.01. Sorry I'm so cheap. LOL

Can't get much beer for that, huh?

You mean you just donated .01 to Paypal, right!? (Gotta love them fees!)

Really though, no need to actually buy me any beer, just want to make sure the links are working for everyone. (Of course, I won't be rude and send it back! )

Thanks!

Mike

[Allen Graves]

I figured you weren't outright asking for people to send you money...although that's a hell of a marketing idea.

Maybe I'll write a WSO for that!

I just tried to sign up for a warrior plus account, it sent me my verification code but there's no box on the page to enter it into in my browser (Firefox).

Cheers

You know, we have all of these tactics and techniques, complicated offers and bonuses...

I figured, why not get right to the point? Just send me your money now!

Mike

PS: But you know, even if I got 1 MILLION Warriors to send me a penny, I still end up with nothing! What is that all about?

Did you click the link in the Private Message? Can you do a screenshot?

Thanks!

Mike

[MikeLantz]

Just made a few internal changes to this, and need a few more testers.

Please let me know if it works or not, and any errors or problems you have.

Also, if you can, please test it with your user account as well.

Thanks!

Mike

[Brian McElroy]

Mike, bought you a drink for being awesome

Worked fine... maybe add a return to merchant
button to send people back to the forum?

Cheers,
Brian

Really!
Humm.....

Test my Buy Me a Beer Link too then. I really think it needs to be tested for $1,000 or more. :P :P

My awesomeness cannot be bought for just $5!

Seriously, thanks for testing it out. Really, no drink is actually required (unless you are Brian, of course).

I had added in the return feature, but then I took it out and forgot to put it back. It is in there now, and seems to be working right.

Thanks!

You bring up a good point. I am not sure if my system will handle beers over 6 figures. Anyone want to give it a shot? (low 7 figures will be fine!)

BTW, Scott, I don't see your beer link. If you set it up, I am sure some magical fairies will test it for you...

Hi Mike,

I tried this when the new forum first opened and was able to use the old forums link.

It seems to work ok but if you would like to test it and see for your self then here it is:
Buy Me A...

Have a Great Day!

Michael,

Live in the the now, my friend! Your "old" ways are no longer wanted around here!

Yea, I know that the old link works, but that doesn't help new Warriors, and it doesn't allow you to add an amount directly to the link, etc...

The feature I am working on is just a small part of a much bigger system that will hopefully be ready next week. I just thought it would be helpful to let everyone use this part since it was ready and it would help me be sure things are working correctly.

So, take your stale beer somewhere else!

Mike

Wait a second I thought we were talking about beer here, now all of a sudden you want us to buy you a shot?

[Michael Mayo]

Really?
I'll show you, you young wipper snapper!
Where's my Caine???

Mike, As Always, Great Ideal!

Michael

PS,
Your Slipping youngen....Buy Me A...

Hey warriors,

Thanks to everyone who has helped with this so far.

I have just added some additional "behind-the-scenes" code to this that I need tested. In order to do this, I need you to actually go through with the payment. I will refund your payment as soon as I see it.

This will help me greatly in testing some automated processes.

Here are the links again:

Buy Me a Beer (no specified amount):
http://www.warriorplus.com/buy?u=MikeLantz

Buy Me A Beer ($5):
http://www.warriorplus.com/buy?u=MikeLantz&amt=5.00

Thanks!

Mike

[Jose Delgado]

Didn't Allen say that the Beer function was going to be back some time soon?

[Kim Standerline]

Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing.

If this occurred unexpectedly, please inform the administrator and describe the action you performed before you received this error.

I got the above when I bought u a beer for $0.10 (I'm cheap as well)

Kim

Edit

Mike I can't believe u refunded 10c u nut

Kim

Thanks, Kim. Even $0.01 is enough to test the transaction. Your refund was sent.

I saw there was some error as things aren't happening quite right on the backend.

Thanks!

Mike

PS: If anyone else tests this and get an error, could you post a screen shot. Thanks.

Well, I actually need to test the system with refunds, too!

Plus, why give Paypal 10c it doesn't deserve?

Mike

[daddyoh]

Thanks for this Mike!

Bought you a beer and got same msg. as Kim S:

Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing.

If this occurred unexpectedly, please inform the administrator and describe the action you performed before you received this error.

Dan

[KimW]

Bought you a pop for a buck
the error comes when you clcik return to merchant.
Then you get this message:

Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing.

If this occurred unexpectedly, please inform the administrator and describe the action you performed before you received this error.

Edit: By the way, the payment did go through, according to Paypal, I got the receipt.
I also got 12 emails from "Warriorplus wso payments" saying an error occurred while processing my paypal payment and it would be investgated by a human as soon as possible.

[MikeLantz]

Thanks Dan and Kim...

There is definitely something weird going on. Do you happen to have the URL it sent you to after you clicked "Return to Merchant"?

Thanks,

Mike

[KimW]

I'm sorry I don't. I can send you another buck then send you a screenshot when i get to that point if you'd like?

[daddyoh]

I got the exact results as KimW and this is the Return To Merchant page link:

[TEST] "Buy Me A Beer" Feature Returns...

Thanks, Dan...

That is weird because it looks like that error is coming from the Warrior Forum when it is returning the user here.

I wonder if Allen has seen it before.

Mike

[daddyoh]

My PP payment went through fine and this time I didn't get
12 messages from "Warriorplus wso payments" saying an error occurred while processing my paypal payment and it would be investgated by a human as soon as possible.

So, that's something positive.

Dan

[MikeLantz]

OK! It looks like I have all of the kinks worked out of the system.

Many thanks to everyone who helped test and found bugs for me.

Everything seems to be working great now, and I have changed the link structure a bit to make it cleaner (the old links still work, too).

LINKS

Buy Me a Beer (no specified amount):
http://www.warriorplus.com/buybeer/MikeLantz

Buy Me A Beer ($5):
http://www.warriorplus.com/buybeer/MikeLantz/5.00

You can use these in your signauture, WSOs, etc...

Shortly I will be adding a new feature that will even automatically deliver your WSOs for you, so stay tuned for that!

Mike

[Jesus Perez]

All you need now is a stickie. This is superb.

Nice work, Mike!

Any update on the possibility of auto delivery of WSO's?

Thanks much,

Dan,

I am getting closer to having that ready. I just need to get the interface in place.

Would anyone be interested in beta testing it for me when it is ready?

Mike

[bartlock]

Just check the link?

They are ok, the links take me to Paypal, no problem.

[kimbollia2]

Mike,

Just signed up at "WarriorPlus", looks great! Thanks!

Question: Where do we put this link? As a Sig file or inside the account to import the mug icon somewhere? Also, how do we get the mug icon to import like yours does with the link. Thanks.

Mine is here:

warriorplus.com/buybeer/kimbollia2/5.00

Is this right?
