   Hi,

   I like your plugin it's really usefull.

   I have a few customization questions and i hope you can help me.

   When people click the donate button i would like to see that paypal would open in a new page, how can i do this? I searched through the code but i can't find a <a href or something.

   Is it possible to add the username (if logged in) to the reference? I tried in the admin with <?php get_username() ?> but it will just put "<?php get_username() ?>" in the paypal page and not the real username.

   If you don't mind making some modifications to the code, you can fix the new page pretty easy by adding a target="_blank" to the form tag.

   Locate the form tag in the code (around line 152 in v1.4.9.4):
   $paypal_btn .= '<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">';
   and change it to:
   $paypal_btn .= '<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" target="_blank">';

   You could also modify the $reference part in the same function (generate_html()) to use the get username function istead.
   Change:
   $reference = (!$reference) ? $pd_options['reference'] : $reference;
   to:
   $reference = get_username();

   You could probably even though something like:
   

   if(is_user_logged_in())
   	$reference = get_username();

   Hope this helps some.

   Cheers,
   Johan

   When i do the following:

   Change:
   $reference = (!$reference) ? $pd_options['reference'] : $reference;
   to:
   $reference = get_username();

   The donate button disappears from the website.

   It will look like this:

   Originally with out the change it looks like this:

   I'd guess the button disappears because get_username() is a function that doesn't exist, so it throws an error. I assumed that get_username() was some custom function you had.

   Instead you can use WP's own function to get the current username, get_currentuserinfo.

   So then it would look like this:
   

   global $current_user;
   get_currentuserinfo();
   $reference = $current_user->user_login;

   Cheers,
   Johan

   Thnx again for your swift reply.

   I used the global like you said and i made this:

   `// Get username from loged in user and post as reference to paypal
   global $current_user;
   get_currentuserinfo();
   if(is_user_logged_in())
   {
   $reference = $current_user->user_login;
   }
   else
   {
   $reference = 'Donatie van gastbezoeker'; // Donation from not logged in visitor
   }`

   Works like a charm.

   Thnx for your help.
