I'm building a blogging site for several Users who deserve to collect their own beers for their blogs.

I've enable Beers for Users.
Renamed mine "TIP JAR"
But the PayPal account associated the TIP JAR on my Users Blogs remains My PayPal account not theirs.

Have I misunderstood what this module does or could it be in conflict with something else?

I'm currently wiping the egg off my face as my users are beginning to post and seeing MY PayPal "TIP JAR" on THEIR Blogs... not cool.

Thanks for your time

The user beer setting affects only links in the links section, i.e. a link that appears next to "skinnychef's blog, Feed: skinnychef, Original article, Email this page"

Thanks for the reply, but I'm still really confused. Can you show me an example of one that works? or inform me what settings I need to change to get it to show up?

I have no demo site where the user beer feature is enabled. But I understand that this behaviour is confusing. If user beer is enabled the link in the content should be the link for the author so I change this to a feature request.

I don't know why in your case the link does not show up in the links section. Maybe custom theme code used to display links on your site?

No custom code here. I'm not smart enough to customize code. This is my 1st Drupal site of this magnitude. I've done several simple sites... but my head is swimming trying to put this community site together.

I'm using the "bealestreet" theme.
I thought the "Links" module might be a conflict so I disabled it and nothing changed.

I just tested the feature, actually it is even more confusing. The donation link for a user only shows up below the user's comments. Below posts you will always see the site wide donation link.
I'll change it so user donation links are shown below their posts, if the "user beer" setting is enabled, which seems the most straightforward and easiest to grasp.

Thank you Thank you Thank You.
Your SEO site is awesome but I could not find a donation link.
I don't have much but I do value your time and would like to contribute.

I just added a new release in response to this feature request. I appreciate your offer but instead of donating money I ask you to donate your time and test whether the new release http://drupal.org/node/453430 works as expected. As far as I tested it it does.

Awesome!
the beer link (Tip Jar) on the users posts goes to their paypal account now.

However, in the comments, it use to say "Buy [username] a beer" and now it just says "Buy a Beer".
I checked that line of code in the previous version and it looked the same.

I found the place in the code to change that text and was able to change it to say Tips instead of beer because some of my users are now taking offense to any reference to "Beer" (they don't drink).

And then after giving it some thought.
I also was able to find the part of the code that turns Beers On/Off for comments and turned mine off (false).
It's really just the posts that I wanted the BEERS on. '~)

I really appreciate your help. You even got me coding a little bit!

If you ever want a newby to test your modules just let me know.

Thanks for testing. I fixed the issue with the missing user name in commit http://drupal.org/cvs?commit=206912
I'll think about how to make the text for comment links configurable too and will add another release when this is done.
So long and happy coding ;)
