Question Automated Donations of Forum Currency

[Augustus]

Howdy again folks,

Is it possible for me to set up a donation event that occurs every 30 days?

Example: Donation event which transfers 30 Crowns from account "Adam, uid121" to account "Treasury, uid2"

(I've been thinking that the Frequency box would cover this, but I wasn't sure)

Secondly, is it possible for the amount donated to be based on a percentage, say 15% of the total they received from Paycheck events?

(I'm thinking no, based on what I've seen in the ACP but thought I'd double check to be sure.)

Thank you in advance!

For the first bit, you can't automate a donate event but you could add a negative interest event. That would have roughly the same function, though it would need some manual finessing if you did need to deposit it into the Treasury account.

There's no way to create the "percent of paycheck" at this time, sorry

Thank you for your reply! The first one has potential, how would I go about doing it?

I believe setting up a new Interest event with -0.15 in the Amount will do it, however I'm not 100% sure so I would recommend observing it and comparing the results to see if it does what you expect

That is family simple enough to do, and I'll begin trying something on our live board shortly. In your first reply you said "though it would need some manual finessing if you did need to deposit it into the Treasury account." could you please clarify what finesse would be needed and whether the process could be automated via cronjobs or by the addon itself?

 

[Fillip H.]

You'd need to observe the transaction log manually and add the appropriate amount of credits to your Treasury account manually.

That'll be fun to do for a roleplaying community.

Thank you for your time.
