Here you go :)

[arracing]

thanks buddy, i really appreciated that.

--randy

just wondering, how did you do that? Im trying to learn.

Your welcome.
I used Delhaze's awesome program to make it: VButton Pro. I recommend you you get it, so you can give it a shot yourself in the future:)

You can also use the vB graphics kit in the member's area (which, if I'm not mistaken, vButton requires in addition to Photoshop 7).

can you guys help me find which template or whatever to change so that i can add the button by the user cp button.

Thanks,
Randy

header template.

I need help with the coding too

[filburt1]

Add this where you want the button to be:


<a href="donate.php?s=$session[sessionhash]"><img src="{imagesfolder}/top_donate.gif" alt="Donate!" border="0"></a>


That assumes that the donation page is "donate.php" within your forums' directory and the image is called "top_donate.gif" and stored within your forums' images directory.

Yup, do just as filburt1 mentioned.

And the text after "alt=" will be the text displayed when the mouse cursor is over the button, so you can change that to whatever you like.

my donation page is thru paypal and their coding creats something along the lines of form /form

you guys get what i mean. I inserted their text in where the header code should go but it kicks the button up above home button.

[filburt1]

Hmm, things get much more tricky if you want to make that a form submit button.

My suggestion is to make that button link to your own donation page which in turn has a brief statemet with a button that goes to the actual PayPal system.

[arracing]

i really dont want to have my own page its too many steps for people to go through. What coding keeps the buttons together anyways? How come the other buttons are together?

[filburt1]

Adding a form tag screws up spacing (extraordinarily annoying aspect of HTML). The others stay together because they are just normal hyperlinked images.

[arracing]

ok here is what i got so far,

when i use the align="right" before the form action it aligns everything perfectly but then the button does not work when you click on it.

When i get rid of the align code it shoots the button above home and the button works when you click on it.

any comments????

I've found a way to do an image link to a paypal donate page that doesn't require using forms.

Replace the @ in your email address with %40 - as in fury%40xibase.com instead of fury@xibase.com

Replace spaces with %20, and if you want to put $ in the title of your donation, put %24 in its place, e.g. %245%20dollar%20donation instead of $5 dollar donation

When you put in your return URL, replace : with %3A

And, of course, replace the quantities with your desired values

<a href="https://www.paypal.com/xclick/business=paypal_account_email&undefined_quantity=1&item_name=donation_title&item_number=1&amount=amount_in_dollars&return=return_url" title="Link title here"><img border="0" src="{imagesfolder}/top_donate.gif"></a>
