The code below should give the SlipperTalk logo linked to the forum home page and the donate button linked to paypal sitting side by side.


<div class="smallfont" align="center">

<a href="http://www.slippertalk.com"><img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y134/ahmcd33/slippertalk2.jpg" border="0"></a>
<form name="_xclick" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="[email protected]">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Slippertalk Forum Fund">
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD">
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="PP-DonationsBF">
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="0.00">
<input type="image" src="http://www.shopgonewild.com/images/x-click-but21red.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Help support Slippertalk!">

one more try...

 

[Heather]

Okay, close but no cigar (Brian - no naughty comments from you please!)

Looks good but the donate button still doesn't link to the paypal page as the one in the header does.

 

[gonewild]

Looks good but the donate link does not go to paypal.
I'll figure it out and you can fix it after you do your chores.

 

[Heather]

Sorry that this is taking up so much of both of our time!
Thank you again!!

Not a problem.... just look at it like an educational puzzle.

This should work.....


<form name="_xclick" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<div align="center"><a href="http://www.slippertalk.com"><img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y134/ahmcd33/slippertalk2.jpg" border="0"></a>

<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="PP-DonationsBF">
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="0.00">

</form>

 

[gonewild]

Here is another option. This should put the donate button centered under the logo....

<div align="center"><a href="http://www.slippertalk.com"><img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y134/ahmcd33/slippertalk2.jpg" border="0"></a>
</div>
<form name="_xclick" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<div align="center">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="[email protected]">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Slippertalk Forum Fund">
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD">
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="PP-DonationsBF">
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="0.00">
<input type="image" src="http://www.shopgonewild.com/images/x-click-but21red.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Help support Slippertalk!">
<img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">
</div>
</form>

 

[Heather]

Looks good, still doesn't link to paypal. :sob:

 

[littlefrog]

Works for me... Try reloading your cache

 

[Heather]

The one at the footer, Rob? I reloaded my cache and I still get the forum, not the paypal site.

 

[littlefrog]

No, I just tried the top one. You may have a conflict since you have two forms with the same name. (_xclick). Try changing the bottom one to _yclick or something. You need to change it in two places.

Or I could be full of *&^!

 

[MoreWater]

Maybe we really only need this in the header....anyone opposed, say aye.

Heather - you've been doing admin work all day it seems! :clap:

I agree! We don't need another button at the bottom. HOWEVER, I strongly believe the button should be PINK. :drool:

 

[gonewild]

Heather,
The problem is not with the donate button.
There is a form on the pages just above the footer that is....

<form action="index.php" method="get">

I'm not sure what the form does but it needs to have a closed tag like this

<form action="index.php" method="get">
</form>

Unless it has the closing tag forms below it won't work.

 

[Heather]

HOWEVER, I strongly believe the button should be PINK. :drool:

 

[Heather]

I need to put this somewhere for safe keeping....

I think the unclosed form is the clock at the bottom of the page.

The form that gets the time...
All times are GMT -8. The time now is 01:58 PM.

Put in the </form> after the form that calls the time and then the donate button should work. It should look like this:

<form action="index.php" method="get">
</form>

 

[gonewild]

Heather - you've been doing admin work all day it seems! :clap:

I agree! We don't need another button at the bottom. HOWEVER, I strongly believe the button should be PINK. :drool:

How about a different color depending on how much money is in the fund?

 

[Heather]

The footer is all the same form - see what I posted just above - I don't see your <form action="index.php" method="get"> there at all. I think the time is in the footer though so I'm, yet again, confused.

Is it not in the footer? There's header, footer, and something called "headinclude" which is a lot of CSS stylesheet stuff.

No, we are not changing the color again. Otherwise you'll be down one admin.

 

[Heather]

Forget it! I got it!!! YAY!!! I GOT IT!! I GOT IT!! I GOT IT!!!!!!

Ahhhh!!!! Mwahahahahaha....!!! (see this is why you should help fund the forum - I need to be able to afford my therapy copays!)
Kidding. (Sort of.)

I'm going to go now.
