Hi,

Is there anyway to see if we have made a donation on this project? Some projects put a a star next to your username..

Also, is there a URL which has a list of donations, or financial requirements for donations?

We mention this as the project is down down to hard disk problem(s) and we were wondering if this could be resolved with financial help from more donations.

Thanks.

Hi,

if a user has made a donations then it is marked in database. I can edit a code for users to see if they have made a donations. I hope at least it is working. It is a boinc standard function to store information about having donated but I have never tested it. I can see the donations directly at PayPal account.

Hi Kyong,

Thanks for the reply.

The reason I ask is because we are going to make making various donations across projects and it would be very helpful if we could quickly see which projects we have already donated to, and if possible when.

Many of the projects have a donation list page which shows donations by username and date. Personally we feel this is extremely useful and indeed probably increases donations to the given project. Some also have a financial requirements section so you can see how urgent currently donations are.

What I shall do is add this request for a donations page to the wish list in the other section.

You mention that donations are stored in the database; do you think this data is exportable (by us)? Hence, so we could just download a given XML file and then just parse the file for donations made for each of the projects we crunch for? If so, any idea of the file name and location?

Thanks for coming back to us.

or

project_URL/boinc/stats/

Is the location of the publicly exported statistics; unfortunately donations do not seem to be listed within this data.

After taking advice, and taking a look at BOINC project source files, the answer to the question of if one can access your own donations via code from a public XML file is, No you cannot.
