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?

Thanks

Every day I check the obituaries. If I don't see my name there, then I know it's going to be a good day!

You mean you just donated .01 to Paypal, right!? :p (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!

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!

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?

Humm.....

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

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:

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

Thanks

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

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

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

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? :rolleyes:

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.

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

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.

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.

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

  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?

  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!

  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.

  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:

  Is this right?
