Big picture! The new version of Give a Beer has a few extra things:
-it’s compatible with wordpress 2.8.4
-background is transparent (for a ie6 compatibility be sure to install and activate ie6 png fix plugin)
-text is bigger and compatible with transparency (white text with black border)
- has a “Clear Counter” CheckBox to start from 0 beers
Newest plugin version: 1.0.6

Small question: where do you paste your own Paypal donate address? I looked in the php, instructinos and there is nothing! Can you shed the light on that?
Merci

Hello!
My english i bad, but i hope you will understand my question.
My wp-blog don’t use widgets, and i wonder how i can get the plug-in to be use in a ordinary sidebar? What code should i use to get the plug-in to be used in the sidebar?
How to fix need 3 diferents IP to vote again? I want everybody vote continously.
Thanks!
hi, i installed “give a beer” but it doesn’t work? i just uploaded the entire directory to the plug in directory in the wordpress files on my server. it comes up in the widgets, and i installed it in the dynamic sidebar, but it just says ‘error on page’ and doesn’t ever add any beers. i really like this program and would love to have it on my site, do you have ideas why it might not work? i see it works here fine.
tnx wanda
@wanda: set permissions to 777 or use the wordpress plugin installer.

Hi.. any ideea why i get this error when i click on the beer button?
Problem retrieving data:Internal Server Error
plugin is instaled corect and permissions is set to 777
when you click it does a httprequest to a php file where it saves +1 beers. if your server does not support httprequest or php or apache is not corectly configured.. you will get errors like that.
How can I reset beers counter?
A button will be available in the new version that’s coming out in max 48 hrs
Ok thanks! But there isn’t a visible variable in database that can i manually change from phpmyadmin to reset or set it?
This is a bit of a pants-on-head retarded question most likely, but how do you get the link to donate to your paypal? In PayPal I can create a button but the url in the button is unable to be used and I cant see anywhere else in paypal that gives me this info?
check out the tutorial.. it’s in the post as a link
Cheers
Aye, I’ve got that aspect of the plugin set up fine, its finding out what URL I should use so that when people click the button they are taken to a paypal page with my details setup.
By default the paypal site only seems to allow me to create buttons with a value passed that on click that determines the page they hit. If I try and use the same value on this widget, the link fails.
Bugger it, its cool, figured it out.
When creating the paypal button, once it generates the code you need to select “Email” tab to get a clickable link instead of the form value information.
Hi,
I updated the plugin from 1.0.3
Now all my received beers are gone. Is there a way to get them back? I know enough about php and MySQL to make little changes.
Thanks in advance!
PS. feature request: only redirect to link if a beer is added.
Well, I managed to resolve the problem
I temporarily changed “$xGABBeers++” in give.php to “$xGABBeers = $xGABBeers + 64″. Where 64 was the previous amount of beers of course.
Little workaround but couldn’t get it fixed in the database.
The featurerequest is still valid though
Hello! Is there a way to get rid of the limit of beers someone can give in certain amounts of time? Thank you.
