    Hi,

    I made a PayPal account and noticed couple of members had donations button but I can't manage to make an image a link.

    [url=https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=PRTJWX8GR6H5Q][img]https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_donateCC_LG.gif[/img][/url]
    

    The following button is using the code above but its not working since when I click it the only url that opens is the image and not the url specified.

    https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_donateCC_LG.gif

    I have seen it being done so I must not know how to do it properly.

    Cheers!

      You mean on this forum?

      There is some javascript working here which takes over any action on links - so you cannot make an image into a link any more.

      All my cookieware links doesn't work any more either. 😕

        PayPalButton Is all that is needed - use the 'paypal' bbcade tags.
        You replace the enclosed string with your own paypal donation 'code-reference', extracted from the longer string you supplied...
        I think that have correctly included yours here...

          Hi,

          Thank for your reply...but it seems that if I try your suggestion I receive the following warning message.

          You cannot use certain BBCodes: [paypal.]

          Any ideas?

            That is because using some bbcodes is restricted to certain 'approved sub-groups'...
            This is to stop everyone and his dog adding a 'donate' button to each and every one of their posts...
            Can I suggest that you PM Gaieus to ask him if you might be added to the 'paypal' button-makers list...
            After all you have already successfully added your own donation 'link'...
            I think that by now you have 'proved your worth'...
            However, if it's considered 'too soon' for your promotion I'm sure that he or one of the mods might add a paypal-button for you...
