What paypal button? Is it from code used inside of [html[/html]? If you give us the code for it, that may help.

This is because a form already exists in the Display template for quick editing/moderation. You'd have to put it somewhere else in the template.

[hadesflames]

and exactly how would i do that?

[Kirby]

You can create a clone of the default theme (recommended unless if you really want to edit the default theme) and then edit it's files via the Themes directory.

Themes
I highly recommend reading that.

[hadesflames]

ok i created a clone of the default theme...still doesn't work..

[karlbenson]

where about and in which template did you try to put the code?

You won't be able to use that code you posted in any posts because it interferes with the other forms.


You could alternatively try using the link version provided by paypal. Its what I had to use for my "buy me a beer" mod

[Kirby]

You have to edit the theme's files to include your HTML somewhere in the theme so it can be displayed.

can u give me an example?

[codenaught]

An example could be, adding this code:

Code Select Expand

echo '

<form 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="Sticky Ad">
<input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="1.50">
<input type="hidden" name="buyer_credit_promo_code" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="buyer_credit_product_category" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="buyer_credit_shipping_method" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="buyer_credit_user_address_change" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="0">
<input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD">
<input type="hidden" name="lc" value="US">
<input type="hidden" name="bn" value="PP-BuyNowBF">
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_buynowCC_LG.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>';

After:

Code Select Expand

<div>', theme_linktree(), '</div>';

In Themes/<theme_name>/Display.template.php. And if you want to only show it in one or a few topics, right before the echo ' in that code, you could add:

Code Select Expand

if (in_array($context['current_topic'], array(1, 2, 3)))

Where 1, 2, 3 is a comma separated list of the IDs of the topics you want to show the button in.

still getting session verification =/

EDIT: o wait i get it now. it will appear ontop of the post, yea i got it...but theres no way to put it inside the actual post?

As karlbenson suggested, maybe you can do this?

You could alternatively try using the link version provided by paypal. Its what I had to use for my "buy me a beer" mod

Then use a linked image so it looks like whatever you want.
