PayPal buttons / form tags
Reported by Peter | August 15th, 2022 @ 12:30 PM | in User issues
Hi Dave. Is there any way I can put PayPal button form tags into a text module. I have built our shop page with code snippets, but I'd like to simplify if possible for the shop support guy. See https://www.britishtrolley.org.uk/2-6-0/ShopProductsTB . I have tried adding the PayPal form code to a text module but it just screws it up. Thanks. Peter.

I looked at the Forms modules but that doesn't seem like the right solution.

Think of it as a 'feature' to prevent editors from embedding malicious code into a text module. When saving a text module item it is scrubbed for any possible code. You're stuck with using a Code Snippet module, but maybe if you select one of the Snippet Editors on the Site Configuration Content Management tab (Ace Editor, or Code Mirror), it might help a little (line numbers, syntax coloring, etc...)

BTW, if I don't get too distracted this week, I have v2.7.0 w/ Bootstrap 5 all but ready to release.

Thanks! Timing sounds good. We're hoping to go live this weekend, so latest level would be great!
I'm guessing I need to update the live site to the same level then copy themes, files and config across to go live? I already put the graphics inboth Files folders so I don't have to port the links straight away.

I believe a PayPal button is a snippet of code which is partly HTML and partly Javascript with external src

I pasted the code but your system removed it. I'll try and explain.
It is within form tags with action post to a URL. There are two type hidden naming the button and specifying the value of the button in their system. Then there's an input type image for the button.
I'll have to do a line-by-line tutorial for the shopkeeper. :-)
