Mambo Vodes component has been released. With Mambo Vodes you can allow users to purchase the credits (vodes) on your site. The component handles the payments adding the user credits automatically to the database using the PayPal IPN system. It also has administration of the credits and configuration in the backend.

The PayPal Sandbox test mode, automail, error log and change of language are supported.

The credits are intended to be spent to vote for articles and polls, donate, finance the development of information goods, access various areas and other purposes of your choice.

The component is being developed by a Mambo core developer and released under GNU/GPL license. To download it visit the project page:
