Best Way To Add Paypal To Mediawiki Sites

jjaenagle · May 18, 2008

Hey everyone! i just wanted to tell you guys how i added my paypal button to my site!

if you go to apolopedia.com, you can see that i have a paypal button above my ads on every page.
I still use the monobook skin, so i went into the skins and edited my php... i basically just added my paypal code above the advertisements header in the coding so that it will display there.... i would like it more towards the top but i dont want to mess with it too much.

That is my exact monobook.php file

1 to get to it,, start from your root folder.
2 go to skins folder
3 search for monobook.php file and edit it with wordpad... not notepad
4. place your paypal code where ever you would like, but keep a backup copy in case you mess up!
5. feel free to copy mine if you'd like, just make sure to change the paypal to your own!

im not sure how to make my paypal code stand out, but if you search this
https://www.paypal.com/home

you will be able to locate it and just replace from----->>> <form> </form>
