Need Help w/ Paypal Donation Button & Custom pages (Solved)

Postby sweetappletea » June 10th, 2012, 2:49 pm

Hello! I've been on Smack Jeeves for more than a year now but this is my first forum post so it's nice to meet everyone! My name is Kelsey and I'm the creator of Drop Dead Vince. I needed some help with two things for my comic's page:

1. I want to add a Paypal donation button, but each time I tried to add it to the main/news page it's in a weird spot. How do I edit the alignment for it? I'd like to make it directly below the "latest page" thumbnail and "RSS" text, and maybe add some text to it like "Help Keep Vince Alive!".

2. I'd like to eventually add a cast page, but the "add a custom page" is kind of confusing. Do I need to manually enter the code for the whole page (including the theme) into the code box or just what content I want to put on there? I'm also not sure about the html option where you enter the file name for that page, do I just put "cast" or do I also need to manually enter the address (.../cast.html)?

Any tips or suggestions would be a big help!

I apologize for "bumping" this topic, but I haven't gotten a response and I would appreciate it if anyone has any suggestions or ideas on how to go about aligning the Paypal button and getting a cast page set up with custom pages. Thank you!

1. Check your template and find that RSS button, use <br> tag below it then place your paypal button/code. Align it using <div align>. Experiment, check, repeat.

2. Custom Page is entirely blank, that just means you'll have to enter everything -> Basic HTML or CSS. It could be different with your customized theme but there's an option for the overall layout. For the file name, it clearly stated there that you only need a (single) name for it, if it's "cast" then just put "cast", it'll automatically be /cast.html in your comic directory.

Troll, thank you so much. I got the cast page up, but I will be adding content to it later. Next up is the Paypal button, hopefully I can align it the way I want to. I will let you know once it's up or if I'm still having trouble with it. Thanks again!

EDIT: The Paypal thing was pretty tricky, but it's up and I think I'll keep it where it is for the time of being. Thank you again for the help! :)

On your news page template, look for this:

Code: Select all
<div style="border:0; padding:10px 5px 10px 5px; background:transparent; width:300px; text-align:center; float:right;">


         <strong>Latest Update:</strong><br />

         <a href="/comics/1510123/ep-1-pg-16/" title="ep 1 pg 16"><img src="http://www.smackjeeves.com/thumbnail.php?id=1510123" alt="ep 1 pg 16" /></a><br />

         <a href="/comics/1510123/ep-1-pg-16/">ep 1 pg 16</a>


         <br /><br />

         <a href="http://dropdeadvince.smackjeeves.com/rss" title="RSS Feed"><img src="http://www.smackjeeves.com/templates/default/images/rss.gif" alt="RSS Feed" /></a>

      </div>



If you put the code right before the </div> with a <br> line break, as Troll said, it should show up right underneath.
