   Thanks for the great plug-ins. I’m just setting up my site with e-store, affiliate and membership.
   I am allowing customers to specify a price for digital products, but I would like it to seam like a donation.

   How do I change the text “your price” to “Your Donation” ?

   Looks like my formatting got screwy above (system removed the divs), so if you enter what it says above, it likely will not show anything as you just the #content, so remove that line and play around with it.

   I also had another quick fix that should ideally help someone. I wanted to let people know that the minimum price is donation based (and not to inspire them to donate 0.00), unfortunately if i put ‘Donation’ into the price in the admin, the user gets an error message in his / her cart saying, ‘The Minimum Price you can enter is…’. Not liking that, i modified Wp_eStore1.php at line 420, from:

   if($_POST[‘custom_price’] price ){

   to:

   if($_POST[‘custom_price’] price && $retrieved_product->price !== ‘Donation’ ){
   and now I can declare ‘Donation’ in my product details. Thanks again.

   Just thought I’d share a solution that may or may not be ‘good’, but not having the skills to sort through all of the code of this plugin (which is great, btw) i created an ‘intercept’ for someone wishing to achieve a download for free on the Specify a Price items.

   in function submit_to_paypal (in eStore_payment_submissions.php) i created my price placeholder

   $dhr_donation_price = 0.00;

   then iterated it

   $dhr_donation_price = 0.00;
   foreach ($_SESSION[‘eStore_cart’] as $item)
   {
   //removed for brevity
   $dhr_donation_price += $rounded_price;
   $count++;
   }

   then at the end, right before submitPayment, added my intercept and squeeze form on the fly:

   if ($dhr_donation_price < 0.01){
   echo '#container{display:none;}’;

   echo eStore_free_download_form_ajax($item[‘item_number’]);

   echo ”;

   }else{
   // submit the payment!
   $myPaypal->submitPayment2(WP_ESTORE_CLICK_HERE);
   }

   i know it’s not elegant and the squeeze page won’t support multiple products in the cart, but it’s good enough for me for now to give away downloads without making people pay me a penny, and still being able to get that donation if someone wishes, all without multiple instances of the same product. Obviously, if I’m missing an easier solution, let me know, otherwise just wanted to share the above in case it could help someone else.

   Thanks
