CS4 Mac: Inserting PayPal buttons?

Hello.  I have a Mac user who needs to be able to create specific PayPal buttons for new events and update a web page with the new button as the event draws near.  Can this be done in Mac Contribute CS4?  Does the user create the button in PayPal and cut-and-paste the code, or do it in CS4?  I've seen references to a WebAssist.com toolkit, but it seems like the toolkit requires Dreamweaver, which the user does not have.
The user currently has Contribute 3 running on Snow Leopard and it keeps crashing, so I need to upgrade him soon.
Thanks
David

In Contribute CS4, one can insert these Paypal buttons - Buy Now, Add To Cart, View Cart, Subscription and Donation buttons. In the Insert Menu, there is PayPal sub-menu, and select any of them. For any other custom PayPal buttons, you can copy the code, and in Contribute insert it as a HTML snippet. (That is, copy the code associated with PayPal button, in Contribute select Insert menu, and select HTML snippet sub-menu. In the HTML Snippet dialog box, paste the PayPal code.)
Hope this helps. Cheers!!!

  • Inserting PayPal buttons creates error messages

    Hello,
    I have inserted 3 "add to cart" buttons on a page that had no errors. After inserting the buttons a bunch of errors showed up, all for the code I have inserted from PayPal. The buttons are working, but what can I do about all the errors?
    http://www.drluxphotography.com/lc-int-redhook-keys-format.htm
    All the errors are for lines between 58 and 125.
    I sent the error list as attachment tp PayPay asking for help. The reply was
    " I'm not familiar with the issue or product being used. Most web editors have you enter (paste) the code and then specify where on the page it will be located. I'd contact their support or check online forums and see if someone has had a similar issue that they resolved."
    This is not an answer for the question, but it gave me an idea to ask if anyone had similar problems and would help me!
    Many thanks,
    Marianne

    Thank you ever so much! There are no more error messages!
    But since I had to close "input" 30 times and "img" 3 times for the 3 "add to cart" keys I have inserted, is this something that PayPal should be doing in the code that they are creating? Or is this a DW issue? Do other users have the same problem?
    I have to create over 300 keys so I wish there would be a way to avoid all the work.
    But I thank you again, at least I have a solution!
    Sincerely,
    Marianne

  • Insert PayPal button: need PayPal authorization?...

    As I continue working on this website builder of mine, I'm
    now planning on adding an "insert PayPal
    Buy now button" function.
    It's working already. But I'm wondering if I need PayPal's
    authorization to do that.
    I notice for example that the Dreawmeaver extension by
    webAssist to insert a PayPal button inserts a
    hidden field identifying webassist as the button generator,
    for PayPal to track.
    I know there are some webassist people sometimes on this
    forum, do you know if I need to be
    "authorized" by PayPal to have this in my website builder?...

    sorry I guess my question was not clear: I'm going to sell a
    website builder that enables people to
    insert a PayPal button in their site. I already know how to
    do it. My question is, do I need an
    authorization from PayPal, in order to do that.

  • CS4 Mac Insert Toolbar

    This is truncated in CS4 so I can't see the tabs for my divaFAQ or YUI extensions. I'm in Classic workspace. Can I fix this graphical flaw?

    Am I really the only one affected by this bug?

  • Dreamweaver CS4 Insert Table button does not work.

    I recently upgrade from an older version of Dreamweave to Dreamweaver CS4. But now I have a problem with inserting tables.
    They have the dropdown on the top right for Classic, Coder, Coder Plus and so on. I was using classic and everything was fine, then all of a sudden if I try using the Insert Table button from the Inserts tab, it does nothing. If I right click on the button, then click on the button it works, and if i switch to any other view it works. so then I used Coder and it was fine, but then again it stopped working. So I switched to Coder Plus and it was fine for a few more days and then it stops working again. I have rebooted my machine, closed out of DW and nothing seems to fix it. I just installed all adobe software updates and there was nothing in the update that fixed the problem. Does anyone else have this issue and if so, how do I fix it?
    I have searched google and I can't find anything. I can keep switching views but one day soon if it continues, I'm going to run out of views and Its such a habit to use the button instead of the Ctrl+Alt+T shortcut.

    try the following
    Recreate Dreamweaver CS4 Configuration and registry
    - rename the configuration folder to any name. (just add any character I suggest)
    C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS4\Configuration
    - recreate the registry folder
    Start > run > regedit
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER>Software>Adobe>Dreamweaver>10. Rename 10 ex: 10_old
    maybe you can post your specs here for more specific troubleshooting. Cheers!

  • How do I add a PayPal button to a page in my site?

    My client has a PayPal account and they would like me to add a button that enables visitors to click the button and submit donations.
    Is this something that is supported by Muse?

    Yes - you can add a PayPal button using arbitrary HTML.
    Create the donation page in Muse. If desired, you can also create a second confirmation page, that thanks the visitor for their donation after it is submitted.
    Publish both pages.
    Log into your PayPal account on their website. Use their system to generate the donation payment button.
    Copy the source code for the button.
    Return to Muse and go to Object > Insert HTML..., paste the code in the HTML Code area and Click OK.
    Position the HTML block where you want the button to appear on the page.
    Publish the page again and click the button to test that the button works as expected. It should jump from the Muse donation page to the PayPal page where the visitor can enter their donation into your client's account.
    You can style the PayPal page to look more like your site's design, which creates a more seamless appearance. If desired, you can also configure the PayPal payment page to redirect to the confirmation/thank you page you created in step 1 after processing the transaction.

  • IWeb not publishing PayPal button widget

    As per Burns Media (see below). I have taken the proper steps to insert a PayPal button. However the button does not show up on the published site. I've done this in the past and it did work but not now. I have the latest update to iWeb and running OSX 6.4.2 Is there a problem with these updates or am I just missing something?
    Thanks for your help!
    Jerry
    Burns Media Posted this: You can certainly use PayPal on your iWeb site, and it's fairly easy. You would indeed use the HTML Widget - first, log in to your PayPal account (or create one if you don't have one) and follow the steps to create a new button (Buy Now, Pay Now, Gift Certificate, etc.) When you've finished making the button, the last step gives you some HTML code to copy and paste into the HTML Widget. Copy the code from the PayPal site, in iWeb drag the HTML Snippet to your page and in the box that pops up paste the code. Hit Apply and you're done! When you publish the site, visitors can click your "Buy Now" box and be taken to PayPal to buy.

    I think this is very similar to the instructions you posted, but here is a visual demonstration showing how to add PayPal to an iWeb site

  • PayPal buttons inside table scramble Design View in DW CS5.5

    I developed my web site using Dreamweaver 8:
    http://www.harmonize.com/hatleymusic/classic.html
    As  you see, I have PayPal buttons inside table cells.  I did this using  Design View, putting the insertion point in the table cell, going to  code view, and pasting the PayPal button code at the insertion point.   This all worked fine.
    I just upgraded to DW CS5.5. and now  when I try to use the same procedure, the Design View image gets  scrambled  after I paste the button code in code view.  The table format  is no longer in place, and I can no longer see where the cells of the  table are.  However, when I go to Live View, everything looks fine  including the table and the buttons.
    Can anyone tell me  how to overcome this problem?  As it stands, I cannot use DW to work on  my web site, which is a major problem for me.
    Thanks.

    How do I get someone to respond to my question here?
    Let me try again.
    With DW CS5.5 when I try to insert a PayPal button into a table (which I always did with DW8) the table in Design View gets scrambled, making it unusable.  Please would one of you out there who is much more knowledgeable about DW than me try it and see if there is a solution?  If you create a new HTML page in Design view, create a table in it, place the insertion point inside one of the table cells, go to the code view and locate the insertion point there, then paste the PayPal button code at that point. Here's the code:
    <form target="paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
    <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick">
    <input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="XSXQ9CUMUVLQC">
    <input type="image" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_cart_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>
    Now go back to Design view and see how it looks.  If it acts the way it does for me, the table is no longer visible, but if you go to Live View everything looks fine with the table and the button inside it.  Of course, I can't design in Live View.
    PLEASE can someone out there help me.
    Many thanks.

  • HTML Snippet customized paypal buttons not showing correctly when published

    Hi, My customized paypal buttons that i but on my iweb site using html snippets are not displaying correctly. They work in Opera but not in firefox or safari. Please take a look and tell me what you think might be wrong. (all the links are working it's just not showing the graphics correctly (apart from in Opera)
    http://www.alisonbrent.com/ShopTableLamps.html
    Also I've just noticed that when i return to my iweb application (after closing in down) the Html snippets aren't there anymore just an outline, just like they appear in safari?
    Many thanks,
    Ali
    P.S

    Bonjour
    You inserted an image inside the ShopTable_Lampsfiles folder but it's is deleted every time you publish your page
    1) Create an new folder named Paypal in your root folder:
    FTP: With a FTP software (like Cyberduck) create a new folder in your server root folder
    MobileMe: just make an new folder inside the Folder Sites (iDisk > Web > Sites)
    Name this Folder "paypal"
    2) insert your image "addtocartbutton.png" inside this paypal folder
    Get the new URL of your image , something like
    http://www.alisonbrent.com/paypal/addtocartbutton.png
    3) Paste this URL in your codes, replace
    src="http://www.alisonbrent.com/ShopTable_Lampsfiles/addtocartbutton.png"
    by
    src="http://the/new/URL/of/addtocartbutton.png"

  • Using Contribute CS5 to edit site created w/Dreamweaver - PayPal button size issues

    I'm using Adobe Contribute CS5 to edit my web site that was built with Dreamweaver on a Mac.  I have a PC with Windows XP, 1G of ram, a 40G hard drive (used only for programs and operating system) a 1 terabyte external hard drive for all files, etc.  I use MSN Explorer for my browser.
    I have done extensive editing and everything works fine except for when I edit or add PayPal buttons.  The site was built using "tables" for most everything as well as all of my price lists.  When I add a button or edit button properties, that row of cells doubles in height, in the "editing window" they look okay but when I publish the page they take on the doubled height.
    I contacted Contribute tech support and they say Contribute is working properly and the problem is with how the button code was written in Dreamweaver.  The tech said even though the button looks like it is the proper size, the code tells it to take up more space thus giving me the cell height problem.  My standard price lists do not have any lines defining rows and columns but on one page I have been experimenting with I have given the table a line value of 1 to enable me to see what is going on, you can view this page at; http://www.hopscrimshaw.com/birds/owls1.htm
    My Webmaster and I parted ways a few years ago so seeking help there is not an option, she won't return phone calls, reply to e-mails, etc. 
    Any help solving this problem would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks,   PapaHop

    I am also having this problem and any answer would be greatly appreciated. The code <p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;"> </p> gets added whenever text edits are made. This seems to create spaces on the page which pushes content out of alignment. The code gets put into the navigation, the text and anything above the text being edited, jpeg sliders, images, etc.

  • PayPal buttons appearing on detail page

    I've added Paypal links using the HTML widget to a photo page in iWeb. If you click on the photo to enlarge it, all the Paypal buttons (from the other photos) show up on the enlarged image. Is there a way to avoid this or set up another kind of page so that just the image selected shows up? Thanks.

    You will need some additional javascript code in an HTML snippet to get what you want. Cyclosaurus has posted a solution to that.
    Here are some topics covering the problem:

  • Paypal Buttons on Photo page.

    I have inserted paypal buy buttons on my photo page in hopes that someone will buy some prints however...when you click on the photo and it brings you to the large view the buttons are still there. Is there a way to either make them dissapear, or move to the bottom?
    Thanks

    You used web-widget to insert the code.
    The problem is any code inserted with web-widget is not applied to the page itself, but the code is applied to other pages and linked to your page using iframe.
