mfBeer is a Joomla! plugin that allows you to add a "buy-me-a-beer" PayPal donation text at the bottom of each article. The original idea was from the Buy-me-a-beer Wordpress plugin. The message created is very flexible, highly customizable and based on how to create a valid CSS alert message. Want to kindly ask your visitors to donate some money? mfBeer is the anser!
