Am I correct in assuming that if I hit "Tools" "Extensions" "Search For Updates" I won't need to visit the site?

Did I do something wrong? All I get is the daily and monthly totals. No quarterly.

You can change the format in the options.

Why would anyone want this, and why is it getting such a high profile spot on the forums?

Does it work just fine in 3.0a9? I imagine it should anyhow.

I'll put out another release real quickly.

Done. Actually, I made the maxVerion 3.* instead. Does that work for you?

What problem do you seem to be having?

unfortunately it doesn't install with 3.0a9 :

"rp-donations.xpi will not be installed because it does not provide secure updates"

i must have been lucky with my previous firefox extension hacks (editing maxVersion in the install.rdf) :(

thanks for your work ! and don't put too much of it into this, i still can check ronpaulgraphs.com ;)

One more attempt. I made a special version just for you, see if that works (check your private messages).

ashlux... use paulcash.slact.net instead of ronpaulgraphs.

It doesn't particularly matter. The amount raised isn't going to be different between the two sites.

Bump. Some of you might find this useful today at work so you can have legit work-related website up, but still keep track of the donation totals for today.

Try and levitate traffic concerns ronpaulgraphs.com and ronpaul2008.com is having and use this Firefox extension instead.

It's very nice work, ashlux. I see you incorporated a few of my humble suggestions and then some. I really like the formatting strings. Customization flexibility is addictive for Firefox users.

BTW, I had an idea for a new Firefox extension. Something to help harness our vast flow of traffic for concrete purposes to benefit the campaign. Let me know if you're interested in discussing it.

Thank you for the complements :P

I would like to hear any of your suggestions. You can post them here or PM them to me.

Have Firefox 2.0.9. The donations extension, which I'd installed, is indicated now as being incompatible with the browser. Has there been a new update?

If you're having trouble updating, try uninstalling the old version then reinstall the newest version at http://ok4ronpaul.ashlux.com/wiki/index.php?title=Ron_Paul_Donations_Firefox_Extensi on.
