I am currently speccing out a custom auction plugin for WordPress. One thing I would like to do for each item is to generate a dynamic Buy Now link that will redirect to a PayPal screen with the item name and final price.
From what I can see, the only way to generate one of these buttons is to go to the form that generates the buttons for you. Is there a js file that I can use to generate these buttons from a Wordpress admin area? If so, can someone please provide a link so that I can begin reading up on the documentation?
Thank you
There are several examples of how to create a "pay now" button on stackoverflow (with simple HTML form). I would rather not use the "insecure" forms.
For including it in Wordpress you need to create a PHP Script (Plugin) that creates you the button, either with a library or "by hand".
The second thing I would recommend is to give PayPal an URL they should call after a payment status change (IPN). Some libraries (as the one above) can help you with that.

I have a program running in an environment that supports URLs, but no javascript.
Say it's a Word document (though it's not).
Is there a way to craft the PayPal payment URL such that it's all that I need, without the requirement of an HTML form or Javascript?
http://paypal.me basically exists for simple things
You can create a Buy Now button via https://www.paypal.com/buttons with NO dropdown menus or text fields (which require HTML) and then, once you've generated your button code, clicking on the "Email" link above will give you a URL.
If you also want the URL to have editable fields, then before you create the button, in Step 2 uncheck the option to save the button at PayPal, generate the code, and click the link to remove code protection. Variables are documented here: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/paypal-payments-standard/integration-guide/Appx-websitestandard-htmlvariables/#technical-variables
I have problem with my x-cart website. When I click on "Buy Now" button on one product, and after that I click on "My Cart" which is the checkout section, it returns that my cart is empty although I already click to buy product.
Here is my website: http://www.farlin-cambodia.com/home.php?cat=591
How can I fix it?
The store you're referring to is of version 4.1.6, that's an old version where there were no adding to cart without redirect (with ajax). The behaviour in question is still there, thus the feature is added as a custom mode.
If JS is enabled in the browser, and if the store considers that it's enabled, the JS script is supposed to send some data to script minicart_content.php, and the php script is to process the received data further. However it doesn't happen, and there are no JS errors, which makes me believe that the problem is in the code of minicart_content.php, with this file is very likely being modified too.
If JS is disabled in the browser ( and if you click the corresponding button in the store in the pink side menu block - "If Javascript is disabled in your browser click here"), this custom scenario is not applied, so the store uses the default functionality which allows to add the products to cart with out problems.
Thus, the possible solution is:
roll back the custom changes you implemented, and use default functionality (adding products to cart with a redirect to cart page)
or
check the minicart_content.php script and find out, why it doesn't want to properly process the data sent by JS script
If you're not sure how to achieve this, consider contacting X-Cart support team for further investigation. Not sure if I can give a link to X-Cart support here, but I'm sure you'll easily find it, if only try to search=)
The html for a donation button provided by Paypal forces excessive white space on the page. Is it possible to link back to Paypal without the form tag? I have the Paypal button graphic which I can anchor to html code if it is not a form element.
It is possible to do it without a form; I did so a while ago. I don't remember specifically how I did it, but I can give you this example, and if you post your HTML I could help you turn it into a link instead:
https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick&business=ben%40happyspork%2ecom&item_name=Sporktris%20Support&item_number=1&no_shipping=0&no_note=1&tax=0¤cy_code=CAD&lc=CA&bn=PP%2dDonationsBF&charset=UTF%2d8
You might even be able to just modify that link to use your data instead of mine.
Basically i'd like to put a like button on the website so that fans of the site can like the websites Facebook page.
The Like button page doesn't give me the code when i click the button, just says "Only verified developers can be added as listed developers of this application. Read www.facebook.com/help/?faq=17580 for details." Is this a common error, or?
EDIT: Using Like box now, but would prefer Like button.
And the like box page gives me the iframe and XFBML codes. Sorry for being a n00b, but how do i add either one onto my site? I've tried Insert > Script and pasted it in there, using all four script types (Javascript, JS 1.1, JS 1.2 and VBScript but they don't show in the preview. Placed the code under the 'back to top' button at the bottom of the page. Not showing up when i look at code view of the online version though?
Hopefully its something really easy and obvious, but any help would be great.
Again, site is designed/updated with Dreamweaver MX 6.0.
I dont have that much experience with Dreamweaver - but implementing the facebook social plugins (eg. Like button) is very simple. All you have to do is copy and paste the XFMBL you generate from this link. Once you paste your URL into the "URL to Like" field and click "get code" you should get the correct code to use...
You place this code wherever you want it to appear - if you want the like button to be in the footer just paste it there...
The code snippet actually loads the facebook javascript sdk and places your like button inside an iframe on your page...
You can not place the like button code inside a different element - if that were possible people could trick you into liking their page by writing some different label on the button - eg. "Back to top" :)
This should be relatively simple to implement. If you are still having dificulties - why not try opening a new HTML file containing only the required HTML tags and the like button code...
Hope this helps!
Good luck!
The error appears because, just like it says in the message, you are not a verified developer.
In order to be a verified Facebook developer, you need a verified Facebook account, with a credit card or a phone number verification.
I'd suggest you verify your account as soon as you can if you plan to use more of Facebook's plugins and apps, since it will give you full access to their developer tools
I would like to have a user redirected to an external credit card gate. Of course I have to POST some user info to that gate, but I don't know how exactly can I do this.
I know that I could do this by generating a html form with hidden or read-only fields and have a user click "Submit" button. But this solution is not perfect, because all the form data could be easily changed using e.g. Firebug. I think you cannot do this using $this->_redirect(...). But maybe there is some other solution?
Many thanks for any tips or suggestions.

Using a form is the only method available. The RFC states that the user should explicitly agree to sending a POST (i.e. click on a submit button).

It is no more secure that using a redirect as the header data can be modified without too much of a problem. There are even Firefox plugins to do it.
use cURL to post data
