and in that template add this code...

<tr>
 <td class="$bgclass">
<div align="center"><span class="smallfont">If You Like This Website, And Would Like To Give Something In Return, You Can Make A Donation. Your Donation Will Be Used To Pay For Hosting Service, Domain, And Maintenance Costs Only!</span></div>
<br />
<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" target="_blank" method="post">
  <div align="center">
  <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick" />
  <input type="hidden" name="business" value="youremail@whatever.com" />
  <input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Website Support Donation" />
  <input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="1" />
  <input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD" />
  <input type="hidden" name="tax" value="0" />
    $ 
  <select name="amount">
    <option value="1.00">1.00</option>
    <option value="2.00">2.00</option>
    <option value="3.00">3.00</option>
    <option value="4.00">4.00</option>
    <option value="5.00">5.00</option>
    <option value="10.00">10.00</option>
    <option value="20.00">20.00</option>
    <option value="25.00">25.00</option>
    <option value="50.00">50.00</option>
    <option value="100.00">100.00</option>
  </select>
  </div>
<br />
<br />
<div align="center"><span class="smallfont">Select Your Donation Amount And Then Press The Donate Button.</span></div>
<br />
<fieldset class="fieldset" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0px">
<br />
   <div align="center"><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!" /><br /><br /></div></fieldset>
   </form>
  </td>
</tr>

in the code make sure you change youremail@whatever.com to your email...

then add a module, you want to add a Template Module

and in the module settings add this

Module Title: Donations
Template to Include: adv_portal_paypal
Use Module Shell Template : yes
Title Row Colspan: 1
and set your Usergroups to what ever you want

hope this helps and if any one wants to edit the code or make it easier to install feel free.

it is 100% html complaint. please let me know if you have any problems

Is there any reason that this wont show in my VBA page after an install ? Its showing on the admin cp and i tried moving it to different columns - I only just installed VBAdvanced myself so im not 100% sure on how it all works yet , but from what i can see the module is installed and the templates are there and it is active , but its still not showing on the main page for me :s

[DementedMindz]

did you set the usergroup permissions for the module?

[Zowners]

Installed!

Thanks a lot

[clearchannel]

I have a stupid question. My donations are trying to add a shipping charge. I guess this has to do with paypal?

[DementedMindz]

how are they adding a shiping charge when someone donates? please click install also..

[clearchannel]

Here's how to fix the problem. Between the form tags, add the discolored code:

<input type="text" name="amount" size="6" value="$0.00" />
  <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick" />
  <input type="hidden" name="business" value="domain@yours.com" />
  <input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Website Support Donation" />
  <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="shipping" value="0.00">
  <input type="hidden" name="shipping2" value="2.00">

This will override shipping that you may charge for items actually sold on your site.

I changed the value from 5.00 bucks to zero so people don't think I'm looking for a 5 buck donation, your welcome to change it to whatever you want.

I clicked install moments after my last post.

[DementedMindz]

sorry i wasnt sure what you ment i thought you ment when they donated they were being charged shipping.. do you run vbadvanced?

[evesve]

I made a template with "WebTemplates 3.5.x: VB Integrated CMS (Content Management System)"
Perfect for us without vBa! Works Fine!

Yes, I have this installed on my vbadvanced cmps page.

I got this directly from the paypal site

Shipping will only be applied to all PayPal Shopping Cart Purchases, Buy Now Buttons, and Donations. Shipping will not be applied to payments made with PayPal Subscriptions and Recurring Payments, Winning Buyer Notification, or Instant Purchase (for eBay listings).

When I installed the code, and attempted to make a test donation, it added 10% of the donation in shipping costs. I guess you could omit the two lines of code I provided, and get an extra dime for every dollar donated....LOL
