Need help with a paypal donate button

[STRRAYNGE]

Hey guys, ive read a ton of threads on this, but just cant figure it out. Im wanting to install a donate button on my forum. Ive searched and searched my index.template to try and locate where I need to edit, but im either overlooking it, or just dont have a clue, probably both. Anyways, I was reading this thread, http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=486274.0, last night and this morning, and trying to figure it out but im lost. Is there anyone that can help me? I can attach my template if someone might want to assist me here. Yes, im a newbie, so please bear with me if you ask question, I might not be able to answer it as clear as most. Thanks for looking!

Isn't this basically just a duplicate of your other thread?

You need to set up a PayPal donate button through PayPal.
The mods only put said button into certain locations.
They do not set up the button.

No, its not a duplicate of my other thread. Im asking for help with a button now. Im not wanting to install a mod like last night, im trying to figure out how to edit my index.template. I have already got the code from paypay, but needing help with where to put it and how.

instead of editing the template directly (especially given your lack of coding skill), why are you not willing to use a mod?

There are several paypal mods that do it...   or you can drop the code into a portal block as well...

Thanks for the info! I had tried a mod, but it failed on all themes im using, except for the default. I tried to go in and edit the files that it said needed to be edited, but was unable to even locate them.

For now, I actually just now added a block with the code, but would still like to actually get it into my theme. Thanks again!
