How do we insert a paypal form ( the form that is generated by paypal) in a text/html module? When we try we get the page with the paypal button but, our page is not displaying correctly and when we click the button it simply displays the same page.

We can enter the same code in dreamweaver in a html page and have no problem.

thanks,
arlie

You cannot use the module to make forms as there can only be one form on an aspx page. Your options are;
1 buy a 3rd party module that does this
2 create your form as a PA (DNN module) that you can add to any page.

Regards

More options:

- Use the iframe module

- Use this free module if you just need a donate button:

a long time ago i made a paypal donations module for dnn for free. you may remember it. but nobody donated, and eventually it lost interest.
so i made something much nicer:

for using paypal out of the box in your dnn instance, you may try the KodHedZ form generator, you can request a trial copy at KodHedZ.
It includes a form for paypal integration for adding a user to a role.
the default forms included are:

register to the portal
create a new portal and make registrar the admin
create a templated portal (using khz portal duplicator)
register to a role
register to a role using paypal
register to a customized form.


in essence, you can do what you want to out of the box for dnn if you know how to do it, but it takes a bit of code. for anything advanced, there are third party modules available.

thanks for the replys. looks like developing a custom module.

You can do this with a simple javascript trick.

Step 1. Remove the <Form> </Form> tags from your PayPal "Buy Now" code.
Step 2. Add onClick="document.getElementById('Form').action='https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr';" to the buy now input button

Step 3. paste all of it into the html module


Note: older versions (1.0x) of DNN had the Form name as Form1 so step #2 would be
Add onClick="document.getElementById('Form1').action='https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr';" to the buy now input button

Thanks for the tip, John! It worked great -- once I figured out you have to drop the "1" after 'Form'. ;o)

Sorry about that, I had pulled that off an older version of DNN.

Hi I am running the latest version 3.0.13 and this does not work for me unless I am missing something?  When you click on the button it doesnt do anything.  What am I missing?

Post a link to your site and I'll let you know why it isn't working.

If you can't post a link then post your code.

I am converting a site to DotNet Nuke and have a similar problem. Here is the code I have so far if you could lend a hand I would greatly appreciate it

Thanks,

Take this line out:
<form name="ccoptin" action="http://ui.constantcontact.com/d.jsp" target="_blank" method="post">

And since it is posting to a new window add this to the onclick of the image button:

<INPUT onclick="document.getElementById('Form').action='http://ui.constantcontact.com/d.jsp';document.getElementById('Form').target='_blank'" type=image alt=Subscribe src="gracemail_gobutton.jpg" align=absMiddle value=Go border=0 name=go>

I had to edit the original post inorder for it to come out correctly.

I added the line you included above and it does redirect me to the correct page, but it does not include the values fromt eh three input fields. Therefore the page errors out because it is expecting the parameters. Not sure if this makes any sense.here is the code I have now.

<LINK href="/calvaryphx_dev/portals/0/gracemail.css" type=text/css rel=stylesheet>
<TABLE width=169 border=0>
<TBODY>
<TR>
<TD align=middle><A href="link"><IMG src="gracemail_logo.jpg" border=0></A></TD></TR>
<TR>
<TD align=middle><INPUT class=textfield id=email align=absMiddle name=ea>&nbsp; <INPUT type=hidden value=1011337006012 name=m> <INPUT type=hidden value=oi name=p> <INPUT onclick="document.getElementById('Form').action='http://ui.constantcontact.com/d.jsp';document.getElementById('Form').target='_blank'" type=image alt=Subscribe src="gracemail_gobutton.jpg" align=absMiddle value=Go border=0 name=go></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

Also when I save this code and then click on edit text in the Module drop down box it fires the onclick event above. :o) Kinda strange.

 

Here is my code I have tried just about everything :(

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick">
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-but04.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!">

Up2Late,

This looks like the normal PayPal buy now code.

Step 1. Remove the <Form> </Form> tags from your PayPal "Buy Now" code.
Step 2. Add onClick="document.getElementById('Form').action='https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr';" to the buy now input button

After doing that you should have something that looks more like what clmuppy posted.

Step 3. paste all of it into the html module
