Question for computer nerd - Regarding Bracket Challenge for Money

[kramer1]

I can create a button on Paypal that people can click on to pay for the Bracket Challenge. It gives me the HTML code.

Can that be inserted into a post? That would makes things so much easier....

Pretty sure that is what the "<>" button is for, HTML tagging.

 

[fordman84]

Kramer, i deleted your Bengals "didn't work" thread. If you want to try to post your button in this thread, I'll clean it up when you get things all figured out.

 

[kramer1]

Cool, thanks

 

[kramer1]

Ok, here is the code for the button. See if you can get this sucker to go in a post.


<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" target="_top">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="25G8HPNT7ZJQ2">
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_buynowCC_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!">
<img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">
</form>

There must be something preventing the HTML. I'll ask Hammer later, he will know.

 

[kramer1]

Yeah, ask Hammer, please. It will save me a lot of work if we can get that button on.

The league is created and ready to go. Just waiting to see if we can get the paypal button on....

I tried everything I know and apparently not. Can't you just post the PayPal email address you're using?

 

[kramer1]

Yeah. People will just have attach a note with their payment (username here) and then I'll pm them the password.

It will be starting shortly! I'm currently at the bar.

vBulletin does have an option to allow embedded html, but I haven't found a thread on SportsHoopla that had the option turned on. Its not recommended to enable that option because of security concerns.

You could always use a site like pageeasy.com to create a temporary web page (it stays for a year). It only takes a minute to create the page, put your html on it, and put a link to the page here. Just a thought.

That's a good idea! Create it there and link to it.

 

[kramer1]

Genius idea. I'll try that out later.

In case you go with pageeasy.com...

You can make a page without signing up, but it only lets you put text in. If you sign up (totally free) with an email, then you get the option of putting in html.

 

[kramer1]

Can someone pm me the HTML tag for the banner here?

 

[Lukekraus45]

Have you had a chance to create the tournament challenge and paypal button yet. I may have missed it, but I haven't seen anything on it yet.

 

[HizzleRocker]

I remember the recent talk about this - but I can't find the thread anymore. Do we have a bracket challenge for money? If so, where is it at and how do we sign up?
