CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I had posted an idea about this on the Joomla Forums here:
http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=231&t=293218

But since there is going to be a lot of collaboration between Joomla and CiviCRM this summer I thought I'd mention it here so, especially since it seems to make more sense to post it here.
Earlier today I didn't know too much about CiviCRM other than that it could be useful for non-profits, but now I can see that it has some really neat stuff. After I saw the CiviContribute Component, along with its widget I began thinking that most of what I'm looking for has already been built in CiviCRM, but the packaging may need some additional help :-).

I'd like to get something like Ron Paul's Flash Donation Module working with CiviCRM (and so it can be used in Joomla/Drupal and lots of nonprofits :-). If you never saw this flash donation module please visit the link above as I've provided a screenshot of how it looked and also a fairly detailed description of what it did (since they aren't doing any additional fundraising at the moment they took it down a few months ago).

I'd like to hear what people would have to say about this since I think this module played a very crucial role in the $20 million that Ron Paul was able to raise because of it's ability to provide immediate feedback.

Also, we've recently brought up donations on the Joomla Developers Blog so it seemed like an opportune time to discuss this capability:

Thank you for the reply Dave!

I wasn't aware that the .fla files were in there. Let me sit down sometime this weekend to flesh the requirements out and see what would be needed to add into CiviCRM. I'm no Flash expert :-), but I think this can be made easy enough, we just need to set things up correctly. I'll be posting again soon :-).
