Paypal Donat Button

hi, again i am without my webmaster so i am asking for help.

i want to add a paypal donate button to my website but have no real idea how to do this.

does anyone have a idiot proof way of describing to me how to add this feature?
bearing in mind i am a techy idiot and just about know my way round my site.

but since i cannot afford to keep a webmaster on standbye only having limited funds is giving me headaches as i cannot do the simplest things.

so if any one could maybe detail every step i could follow.

many thanks and kind regards.

Re: Paypal Donat Button

Hi playmisty and welcome to the Icy Phoenix support website!

There is a PayPal block inside your Icy Phoenix. All you need to do is set it up.

OPEN: ip_root/languages/lang_xxx/lang_main_settings.php

FIND:

Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select]

$lang['Support_Us'] = 'Support Us';

$lang['PayPal'] = '<img src="images/paypal.gif" alt="' . $lang['Support_Us'] . '" title="' . $lang['Support_Us'] . '" />';

/* Example of code you may add... replace with your own code.

$lang['PayPal'] = '

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">

<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick" />

<input type="image" src="images/paypal.gif" name="submit" alt="' . $lang['Support_Us'] . '" style="border-width:0px;" />

<input type="hidden" name="encrypted" value="" />

</form>

';

*/

REPLACE WITH:

Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select]

$lang['Support_Us'] = 'Support Us';

$lang['PayPal'] = '<img src="images/paypal.gif" alt="' . $lang['Support_Us'] . '" title="' . $lang['Support_Us'] . '" />';

$lang['PayPal'] = '

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">

<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick" />

<input type="image" src="images/paypal.gif" name="submit" alt="' . $lang['Support_Us'] . '" style="border-width:0px;" />

<input type="hidden" name="encrypted" value="" />

</form>

';

FIND AND REPLACE WITH YOUR PAYPAL ACCOUNT:

Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select]

https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr

When you have finished editing this file, upload it and enter your CMS.

Are you sure Chaotic?

I think you only have to insert value="XXX"

I tried yesterday... but it doesn't work. I had to change this

Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select]

Maybe it is only for germany, I'm not sure.

I notice, that if you click on donate, the site moved to paypal and in header you can see the real Email adress.

Question at playmisty: How did you get another name in place of the email adress

if you have a business account with paypal... you will not see the email address but the comapny name instead or whatever you like as you can edit the way it looks...

if that is what you are after..

You get this value, if you create your own "Donate" button in your paypal account.

Maybe this could help you. https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/w...tside&nav=2.0.0

Re: Paypal Donat Button

Seems like I am having the opposite problem as everyone else. I un-commented the PayPal code and replaced it with my own generated code from my paypal merchant tools button maker. The part I most likely messed up was the CMS area. I still to this day don't get the CMS stuff. Hell I had to manually edit some SQL in my site (cash mod bug) and fixed it just fine, but this CMS area of the ACP I am completely lost.

I made a Global Block to appear on the right that uses "PayPal" blockfile and is viewable by all

I just want my PayPal button in it's own little box on the right side of my site along with things like "Who's Online" etc. Did I do this right? I've read all the threads on this but it seems everyone is only asking about the PayPal code, not the CMS side. And I read the entire CMS tutorial numerous times (even before this PayPal issue) and I just don't get it for some reason. Blocks, Pages, CMS, etc. It is all foreign to me.

Try upgrading to latest RC since that part of CMS has been recoded. ____________ Luca SEARCH is the quickest way to get support. Icy Phoenix ColorizeIt - CustomIcy - HON
