And what code do you need to add?

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="10748451">
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/GB/i/btn/btn_donateCC_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online.">
<img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_GB/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">
</form>



That is the code paypal gave me

OK, you need to edit your theme's index.template.php file.

Code (find) Select Expand

</div>';
}

// Generate a strip of buttons.

Code (replace) Select Expand

</div>';
echo '
<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="10748451">
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/GB/i/btn/btn_donateCC_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online.">

</form>';
}

Can you show me your forum when you have added your button ?

Im just using the MODS on here

[Arantor]

I didn't add it to my forum. I just showed you where that would add it in the code, right where you asked for it - to the right of the menu.

// Generate a strip of buttons.
function template_button_strip($button_strip, $direction = 'top', $strip_options = array())
{
   global $settings, $context, $txt, $scripturl;

   if (!is_array($strip_options))
      $strip_options = array();

   // Create the buttons...
   $buttons = array();
   foreach ($button_strip as $key => $value)
   {
      if (!isset($value['test']) || !empty($context[$value['test']]))
         $buttons[] = '<a ' . (isset($value['active']) ? 'class="active" ' : '') . 'href="' . $value['url'] . '" ' . (isset($value['custom']) ? $value['custom'] : '') . '><span>' . $txt[$value['text']] . '</span></a>';
   }

   // No buttons? No button strip either.
   if (empty($buttons))
      return;

   // Make the last one, as easy as possible.
   $buttons[count($buttons) - 1] = str_replace('<span>', '<span class="last">', $buttons[count($buttons) - 1]);

   echo '
      <div class="buttonlist', !empty($direction) ? ' align_' . $direction : '', '"', (empty($buttons) ? ' style="display: none;"' : ''), (!empty($strip_options['id']) ? ' id="' . $strip_options['id'] . '"': ''), '>
         <ul>
            <li>', implode('</li><li>', $buttons), '</li>
         </ul>
      </div>';
}

?>

thats the code from the box saying beginin from line 466

do i just over write the whole box or add the code u gave in a certain place im just a little confussed.

Thanks for your help

[Arantor]

Right, the bit I gave you replaces the last </div> and } in that block. There shouldn't be a ?> in that section, actually.

[commando_lee]

it now looks like this.  but the button doesnt show

// Generate a strip of buttons.
function template_button_strip($button_strip, $direction = 'top', $strip_options = array())
{
   global $settings, $context, $txt, $scripturl;

      $strip_options = array();

   // Create the buttons...
   $buttons = array();
   foreach ($button_strip as $key => $value)
   {
      if (!isset($value['test']) || !empty($context[$value['test']]))
         $buttons[] = '<a ' . (isset($value['active']) ? 'class="active" ' : '') . 'href="' . $value['url'] . '" ' . (isset($value['custom']) ? $value['custom'] : '') . '><span>' . $txt[$value['text']] . '</span></a>';
   }

   // No buttons? No button strip either.
   if (empty($buttons))
      return;

   // Make the last one, as easy as possible.
   $buttons[count($buttons) - 1] = str_replace('<span>', '<span class="last">', $buttons[count($buttons) - 1]);

   echo '
      <div class="buttonlist', !empty($direction) ? ' align_' . $direction : '', '"', (empty($buttons) ? ' style="display: none;"' : ''), (!empty($strip_options['id']) ? ' id="' . $strip_options['id'] . '"': ''), '>
         <ul>
            <li>', implode('</li><li>', $buttons), '</li>

Can I have a link to your site please, so I can verify the code is in place?

[Arantor]

That code isn't present in the Blue Moonlight theme output, meaning you may have edited the wrong file.

[commando_lee]

this a copy and paste from the whole box under the heading begining from line 466.   its the last box on the modify page.  Im lost on this one

When you went into the theme editor, did you edit the default theme's or Blue Moonlight's files?

[commando_lee]

i went to modify themes, then selected bluemoonlight
browse the templates and files in this theme
and then a small list came up and i selected  index.template.php

[Arantor]

Did you select save at the end of editing?

[commando_lee]
