semhoze Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Rick, does PDN EULA allow offering commercial plugins for it? If yes, have you seen some offered somewhere? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null54 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 The Text Pro plugin is a commercial plugin on this forum. The following is quoted from post 20 of that thread. Mozilla makes $100 million+ per year on Firefox. Making money by giving stuff away for free is a profitable business model for many.Paint.NET does indeed make me money, via donations and website ads. Do you think I would tolerate the spiteful and moronic comments over at http://blog.getpaint.net/2009/11/06/a-n ... ntnet-v35/if I weren't?But yeah, charging for a plugin is no big deal. He won't get any preferential treatment though -- e.g., if I start getting lots of crash reports, then it'll be blocked in the next update just like any other plugin would be.

BoltBait Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 If you decide to give your plugin away for free, we do have the capability here on the forum to add a PayPal Donate button to your post. Like so: [donate=your@email.address]Description of your product[/donate]Which would make something like this: $USD $ GBP £ EUR € JPY ¥ CAD $ AUD $ I have one of these donate buttons on my plugin pack page and I get donations once in a while. You won't get rich, but people do use it. Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ego Eram Reputo Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Unfortunately not. I can add that if you place a semi-colon after your product description a custom amount can be entered... [donate=youremail@address]Description of product;9.99[/donate]Makes the default amount $9.99. I don't think a default currency can be specified.

BoltBait's site has currency specified - see donation at the bottom of the following page: https://boltbait.com/pdn/InstallingEffects.php Perhaps BB can shed some light on this?

BoltBait Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 That's because I have complete control over the HTML on my site. The code on my site is actually more limited than the UBB code here. Mine is locked down to USD where the UBB code here handles different currencies.
