Description and Message
Hi, got the Donation Extension from here in 2020 and it has been working flawlessly since then.
I am running version 1.3.1.
Since I upgraded to phpBB 3.3.10 earlier this week the extension is not working anymore. The donations are not added to the list and not shown on the site.
I was wondering if version 1.4.0 would fix that ? Would like to try it if it's the case, please let me know.
Here's the error I am getting, it is related to MySQL:

Re: Donation extension problems on phpBB 3.3.10
Thank you, will get version 1.4.0
What is the best recommended way to upgrade without losing the actual datas that I have ?
Disable old extension, replace folder with the new one, re-enable ?
Or should I do it any other ways ?

You need to install also other extensions you will see in original post of donation extenion.
Backup always your database

Re: Donation extension problems on phpBB 3.3.10
Installed the new version and everything seems to be working again.
Installed auto-groups extension from phpBB and also installed the recommended add config extension from here.
I added a donation manually using the add donor option in the acp but the expiry date is wrong.
User has been added to VIP25 group properly but the expiry date does not show up:
Here's my group setting (configured since version 1.3.1):
Should I add anything to the auto-groups section of the forum to make it work ?
Thanks for your help.

Re: Donation extension problems on phpBB 3.3.10
I tried that.
Removed user from VIP25 then added another donation manually.
He got added to VIP25, total donation amount of this user is good (25$ more), but the expiry date is still wrong.
Donation expiry in -19496 days
