Paypal button per member

[t3nt3tion]

I want someones help. I`ve added a profilefield in vB, where a user can add his paypal email.Now I want to display a Donate button in the users postbit ( doesn`t matter : legacy or new ), so if a browsing member goes on the forum, he can donate to that user. I`ve tried to use $post[fieldx], but when I click on the button, it doesn`t work. I think this is similar to vBulletins hack, for hack posting coders. I would need something like that, or at least this small thing. How can I use a value from a field ? Can forms be used in templates directly ?

Regards

Try using bbuserinfo instead of post. i.e.

Hello, my email address is $bbuserinfo['field1'].

Trying it now. One moment..

Nope. When I click the button it redirects me to :

You did not select any posts to which the action you picked can be applied.


I have vbSEO installed. Would that cause this. ?

Ok, the text is getting parsed, I can see the email in the source code, but it`s not redirecting me to paypal.

Anyone ?

How to use forms in templates ?

can you show the code that you are currently using

[t3nt3tion]

<if condition="$post['field5']">

<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="$bbuserinfo[field5]">
<input type="hidden" name="page_style" value="PayPal">
<input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="2">
<input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD">
<input type="hidden" name="tax" value="0">
<input type="hidden" name="bn" value="PP-DonationsBF">
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-but21.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!">
<img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">
</form>

</if>

I added that in the postbit template, so I can show a paypal donate button. My problem is that when I click the button it`s taking me to a page : inlinemod.php

If I look in the source code, I can see the field being change with my option, but it`s not redirecting me to the right page.

There's no opening tag for the form if that's the exact code you're using, so it's probably merging with the inlinemod form.

[t3nt3tion]

Sorry, I posted that before the td cell. Even if I add it, still doesn`t work.

[RedTyger]

So what's the full code, including the opening form tag?
