It wasn't working.<br /><br />Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /var/www/html/ubbthreads/donate.php on line 35

It worked with the second try.

I was playing with something else.<br /><br />Its working now <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Thanks people, my first mod and it works <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />I have slightly changed the version on my site since.

Keep up the good work <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Does that mean that the version here needs updating?

dparvin, thanks for getting this one together for us. <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />I'm trying to figure out how to fix this. If a member clicks on the "Donate" link and then clicks on the button that will take him to PayPal.... Well, what if the member decides after all not to donate? He/she closes the browser and then finds him/herself without the forums page still open.<br /><br />I'd like to keep the forums page still open after the member clicks on the link that will take him/her into PayPal.<br /><br />See if any of you guys can help me on this one. Here's what my code looks like for PayPal link:<br /><br /><br /><form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr"method="post"><br /> <div align="center"> <br /> <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick"><br /> <input type="hidden" name="business" value="support@f-bodyhideout.com"><br /> <input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="F-Body Hideout Website/Forums"><br /> <input type="hidden" name="return" value="http://www.f-bodyhideout.com"><br /> <input type="hidden" name="cancel_return" value="http://www.f-bodyhideout.com"><br /> <input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD"><br /> <input type="hidden" name="tax" value="0"><br /> <input name="submit" type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/images/x-click-but21.gif" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!" border="0"><br /> </div><br /> </form>

I have over looked this. I think I need to update.<br /><br />I am now showing this on my ubbt_registerednav.tmpl. This is because no one noticed it on the footer. Since its been on the menu I have had some donations <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />First thing I can think to fix this would be to add "_blank" before the link code.<br /><br />This is part of my ubbt_registerednav.tmpl<br /><br /> <br /><br /><br />You could add "_blank" to the donate link so that whole page would open in a new window. Then if the user did close the window, they would have another one open with the forums still showing <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /><br /><br /> <br /><br />I have not tested this, but I do not see any reason for this not to work

dparvin, worked out just the way I wanted with:<br /><br /><a target = "_blank" href="{$config['phpurl']}/donate.php?Cat=$Cat">{$ubbt_lang['DONATE']}</a><br /><br /><br />Thanks for putting this one together for all of us. <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

No problem, glad you like it.<br /><br />Thanks for the idea about opening in a new window, I had not thought about that. I will add this to the next version <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Great Mod, now can you make a mod that makes these tight wads donate? <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
