Do you mean you want to type the code into a thread so people can see the raw code?

i mean like, i want to add a "buy now" button from Paypal, but im not to sure on how i go pasting their HTML code on a thread? Ive seen it done on the tex, but i dont get how the process works. :confused: :(

You'll have to get the code from paypal, or whichever site your using. Then, it'll only work if the forum allows you to use HTML code in the posts.

A work around would be to save the Paypal button as an image, and make it a linked image. Most sites will allow that.

Yup...

I think you can even just get a link from paypal too and post that. That is the easiest and most accepted way.

If the forum allows it, the button will show up. If the forum doesn't allow it, it'll show up as raw code.

ohhhhh... ok. So how do i make it a linked image? They gave me the html code and it looks like a bunch of jibberish.

The part inbetween the IMG tags is the location of your picture. The stuff after URL is the link address.

I made a buy it now button with my paypal and it didnt give me anything usable on a forum.

Do you have a link to one of the people that has done this and we can tell you how they did it?

His name is cullen on the vw tex. How he had his, made since. But i cant make heads or tails from the code that paypal gave me to "copy and paste." :confused:

[Tom (aka Godzilla)]

He used the linked picture method:

<url=https://www.paypal.com/xclick/business=paypal%40eurocullen.com&item_name=Mk3GTIsmoked+Ecode+headlight+pair+w/free+shipping&item_number=Mk3GTIsmokedl&amount=199.99&cn=Notes%3A&cy_code=USD]<img]http://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-but5.gif[/img>[/url>

I bet if you look at the code that Paypal generates for the button, it looks a lot like what's after the url= part. In order to use what I pasted above, you'll have to replace the < with [ and > with ].

Is it starting to make sense?

Paste the code that Paypal gave you and let's see if we can't figure this out.

Ok, i tried it and the link works. But now the paypal button keeps coming out like a red X. Is it paypal's site that's causing this?

[slowjet]

Ok now, i got it fixed. Can anybody please click on this link (http://www.socaleuro.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3752) and then look for the Paypal button and click it? Under paypal login, does it have my email address or is it blank. I think its my computer that keeps putting my email address on there, or am i just paranoid? lol
