- Use the following markup in your pages:

You can add a quick-and-dirty Donate button option by adding this code to the recipe:
#Define PayPal Donate button markup Markup('DonateButton', 'inline', '/\\(:DonateButton (.*?):\\)/e', 'PayPalDonate("$1")'); function PayPalDonate($opts) { global $PayPal_Account; $args = ParseArgs($opts); $output = "<form target='paypal' action='https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr' method='post'>\n" . "<input type='hidden' name='add' value='1'>\n" . "<input type='hidden' name='cmd' value='_xclick'>\n" . "<input type='hidden' name='business' value='$PayPal_Account' />\n" . "<input type='hidden' name='item_name' value='".$args['name']."' />\n" . "<input type='hidden' name='item_number' value='".$args['id']."' />\n" . ($args['amount'] ? "<input type='hidden' name='amount' value='".$args['amount']."' />" : "$<input type='text' size='3' name='amount' />") ."\n" . "<input type='hidden' name='no_note' value='1' />\n" . "<input type='hidden' name='currency_code' value='USD' />\n" . "<input type='hidden' name='lc' value='US'>"; $output .= "<input type='image' src='https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_donate_LG.gif'\n" . "border='0' name='submit' alt='PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!'>\n" . "<img alt='' border='0' src='https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif' width='1' height='1'>\n" . "</form>"; return Keep($output); }The markup is then
(:DonateButton name="Name of the charity or fund here" amount="optional amount to donate":)
If you don't specify the amount, a small form field will appear to the left of the button so users can specify the amount before leaving your site.
