Paypal button per member

[evenmonkeys]

The following was tested on Internet Explorer, FireFox, and Opera: worked on all three.

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick" />
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="$post[field5]" />
<input type="hidden" name="page_style" value="PayPal" />
<input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="1" />
<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>

The only difference I see is that I removed the currency and I changed shipping from 2 to 1.

So you were able to make a donation and go all the way through with it on all 3 browsers?

I just tried your code above and still the same thing. So back to the drawing board. Thanks for the input.

Code works when I`m not logged in, LOL, it didn`t cross my mind it would work like this. I need to try now to make some dummy users, and see if this code takes their email, or just the last posters email.

I guess I just don't understand why this wouldn't work. When I look at the source of the page, everyone's email address is correct. Why would it change upon clicking submit? That doesn't make any sense.

I'm willing to bet that it's on PayPal's end. In any case, the code that I posted works perfectly for me. However, the code I took from your post does not work for me. I honestly have no explination either...

[mac27]

Yeah. I wish we could come up with this and get it working. I am sure allot of people would love to have this hack.

[evenmonkeys]

It makes no sense to me. The following is taken directly from what vBulletin.org uses:

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick" />
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="page_style" value="PayPal" />
<input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="tax" value="0" />
<input class="button" name="submit" value="Donate Now!" type="submit" />
</form>

Then when you add the $post to the business field, that's where it knows to send it. If it's working for me and not for you guys... maybe it's a modification on your board preventing it? I don't have any modifications other than a couple that only effect the forumhome.

This bothers me and I'm sure I'll continue toying with it for awhile. >_<;

[mac27]

Well no luck on my end yet. I have asked a coder that has more experience in coding than I but no response yet from them. Fingers crossed.

The fact is, this works for me, only when I log out. If I`m logged in, and click the button generated, I get redirected to the inline mod. A bug in vB maybe, something not validating/using forms as it should be ? Session variables ?

[mac27]

I have found a way to make this work. We were using the wrong code all together. I have decided to make a hack for this so users can add this to there postbit if they want. This is only my 3rd hack and so far it is working great. I just have a couple things left before it is done. I am working on making it so the user can show if they are paypal verified or not.

If you are still wanting this let me know.

OK it is finished. Here is a screen shot of it.

OMG. WOW. Yes yes, please do it
