Miscellaneous Hacks - Paypal donate in notice.

This is so easy to add you don't even need to know what a computer is to use it.

This is my first little add-on.:erm:
Hope you like it.

Why I made it:
Well because of this thread:https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=187701

Installation:
Open Admin cp - Notices - Add notice.
In title put what ever you want to find this in the notice manager as members will not see this.
In notice HTML put this code:

<center>
<tr>
 <td class="$bgclass">
<div style="margin:0 auto; width: 40%; border: 3px dotted #FFFFFF; background-color: #0066FF";>
</center>
<center>
<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" target="_blank" method="post">
Please enter the amount you would like to donate: 
  <input type="text" name="amount" size="6" value="5.00" />
  <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick" />
  <input type="hidden" name="business" value="youremail@blabla.com" />
  <input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Keep our forum running." />
  <input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="1" />
  <input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="GBP" />
  <input type="hidden" name="tax" value="0" />

<input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-butcc-donate.gif" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!" />
</center>
</form>
<center>
<h4>INSERT DESCRIPTION TO GET PEOPLE TO DONATE HERE</h4>
</div>
</center>

Things you need to edit in the code:
Put a description in where it says "INSERT DESCRIPTION TO GET PEOPLE TO DONATE HERE"
Put your donation email where is says "youremail@blabla.com"
Put what you want to call your donate where it says "Keep our forum running."
Put your currency where it says "GBP" Get currency codes here http://www.xe.com/iso4217.php
Put where it says tax 0 put what ever if any tax you want added.

Leave the Display Order as it is unless you know what your doing and want to change it.
Active is if it is enabled make sure it is set to yes.
Persistent If this option is set to 'No', the notice will be shown only once per visit to each user.

Set when you want it to display.
To set it for all just set it to users posts is between 0 and 999999999 posts.:up:

I dont understand give me a link to your forum

also you have somehting wrong:

$userinfo[username]"

forgot first " and that text will show up on the paypal website not your vb forum so the phrase $userinfo[username] wont display use text only

[Simon Lloyd]

if you click the donate button (which thanks to you works perfect!) it creates a paypal form and in the description it currently shows "has donated" i'm just trying to insert the username before it.

[seanm07]

Yeah as i said the phrase for the user name wont be reconised unless you some how make it find the uusername convert it to text then send it.
