Paypal in HTML

Hi...I have a little problem...

I need to add a paypal button to my main page of my forum......

I have done all steps correctly and when i preview...the paypal button comes up but I cant find it anywhere on my forum

Please help me...I need to set this up urgently for a missing child fund!

Can anyone help please?

I would usually wait 24 hrs but this is really urgent!

Try to put it at homepage

Its already set at homepage. I can see that on my *preview*

Could it be that the other person hasnt yet set it up his end maybe? He had to apply for the paypal account on his email?

I don't understand your problem entirely. You place HTML code at the homepage message and you don't see the result when you view your forum?

Maybe it will help if you provide the code you are using - probably there is a small mistake somewhere...

Sunny this is the code:

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_donations">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="helpfindamy@gmail.com">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Amy Fitzpatrick Detective Fund">
<input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="0">
<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="hidden" name="lc" value="GB">
<input type="hidden" name="bn" value="PP-DonationsBF">
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_GB/i/btn/btn_donateCC_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to donate online.">
<img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_GB/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">
</form>[/quote]

OK I think i know what i was doing wrong....I was expecting it to come out on the main forum page and added the code into the modules but didnt use a thread to add it....

Its now here:

http://missingmadeleine.forumotion.net/amy-fitzpatrick-f16/amy-fitzpatrick-fund-to-hire-a-private-detective-paypal-link-t646.htm

Can someone please check if thats ok before ppl start sending money!!

I really would be grateful....thanks

It seems to work properly now, yes.

Does it work now on your portal or where else you wanted to place it as well?

Believe it or not its taken me this long to work out how to get it on my portal which is great BUT...I have the word *quote* under it and i dont know why...when i take the word off of the code the paypal button doesnt show...

Could you check it for me again please as something must be wrong??

This is my forum:

http://missingmadeleine.forumotion.net/portal.htm

and this is the code:

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_donations">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="helpfindamy@gmail.com">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Amy Fitzpatrick Detective Fund">
<input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="0">
<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="hidden" name="lc" value="GB">
<input type="hidden" name="bn" value="PP-DonationsBF">
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_GB/i/btn/btn_donateCC_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to donate online.">

</form>[/quote]

Well, deleting the [ /quote] should do it, probably you have accidently also deleted the last ">" when you tried? If you copy and paste only this code, as shown below, only the button will appear:

Code:

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_donations">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="helpfindamy@gmail.com">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Amy Fitzpatrick Detective Fund">
<input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="0">
<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="hidden" name="lc" value="GB">
