Member can sell item on profile? was created by neilaj
Hello,
Is it possible for a member to have field in their user status that can contain a paypal button code that goes to the member paypal page? I tried wit a text area but it did not work.

What kind of code do you want to add? Do you have a code-snippet that might be dynamic... e.g.:

<start of code... blah blah... >
YOUR_PAYPAL_ITEM_ID
< ... end of code>

This could give you the possibility to replace YOUR_PAYPAL_ITEM_ID with CB fielddata ;-)
Or just let the user enter the Paypal ItemID# XXXXXXXXXXXX

The same idea and concept is used in this example:

I dont understand....... My community is tutors.. and students can select who to take a class from after viewing the profile. I want to add the paypal buynow button right into the profile. Paypal gives a code for the button but i dont know how to add it.

So, you have only 1 button. Your button is always the same code?!
It is always the same "buy now..." on each profile?

Each tutor(member) has their own paypal acct and will have their own unique code. I need a place where they can enter the code paypal generates for the buynow button.

As far as i know, CB or at least your editor will strip out any HTML code in this fields:
Text field
Textarea field

This one worked in my quick test:
Editor Text Area

But... this will present an editor-window to your users! There is a help bubble and tooltip option in CB, but i doubt that this is great usability... not easy for the average user. You may also put a help text or guide into this field...

If you have equal button codes, which differ in some parameters, you should read, follow and understand my previous post with the youtube example. You could setup a CB-Delimiter field with the common code... and than replace only the important infos (that change from user to user). All those needed infos could be collected with seperate CB-fields. This might be much easier for them to input. Just a rough idea.

See my previous post with Nant's example use case!
