Hello!

Is there any movements here?
This dev version didn't work, because there's no include files. Any chance to see this module?

I hate to mention this, but there are other modules in such a shape on Drupal. The likely reason is that the developer(s) ran out of time, and haven't had time to complete it. Or, of course, it could also be they changed their mind, but I'd imagine it's the prior - just ran out of time. When you work on something with no income from it, you've got to generate income elsewhere. And as such, the "free" items can often get swept under the rug.

Generally speaking, what I do with modules, is if it looks like this - where they've got a decription, but no downloads on that description page, but just something under "releases", I just stay away from it... or maybe just sorta mark it as something to look at later to see if it ever got developed.

So what I'd suggest is to look for alternatives for now, and perhaps check back every couple months to see if anything meaningful was done here.

By the way, I downloaded the dev tar.gz file, and unzipped it (WinZip), and found there are 5 files:

  • LICENSE.txt
  • pg_fundraising.css
  • pg_fundraising.info
  • pg_fundraising.install
  • pg_fundraising.module

And another thing to consider - this module has only existed for right at a month - 20100410 to now, 20100511, so I'd just wait a bit longer.

Also, you may have simply unzipped/decompressed the file incorrectly, or else the download got corrupted. Try again - it's super tiny, so it only takes a second to download. If you've not tried it (and you're running Windows), I'd suggest trying WinRAR as the unzipping tool. When I use it on modules, I just right-click the module download, select "Unzip here" or maybe it says "unrar here" - I forget. And it automatically outputs it to a folder just the same as you need for uploading to your site. I tell you what, when I realized that, it saved a bunch of time just from menial folder management tasks.

Now I hush. ;0)

I mean include files (.inc), which declarate in module but not exists in this package.
For example you can see this piece of code

$items['admin/pgdata/fundraising'] = array(
      'title'            => 'Fundraising module settings',
      'description'      => 'Configure Fundraising module.',
      'page callback'    => 'drupal_get_form',
      'page arguments'   => array('pg_fundraising_admin'),
      'access callback'  => 'user_access',
      'access arguments' => array('administer fundraising tool'),
      'file'             => 'includes/pg_fundraising.admin.inc',
      'type'             => MENU_NORMAL_ITEM,
  );

which is actually describing admin interface or pg_fundraising.admin.inc include file, could find it in includes directory? This code return php error.

I'd just give it some time... and hopefully the maintainer will be able to give some sort of update before too long, say a couple weeks? Seeing as it's not been released yet, I'd say it's just a work in progress, and that's all for now. 'Course that's just my guess.

I'm sorry the files were missing. I totally messed up on the first release. Just created beta2 that includes all the necessary files.
I am planning on collaborating with the maintainer of PG API to make the 'thank you' page more customisable (or at least submit a patch to the issue queue). Until then the page looks rather raw.
