How to link PayPal to FrontPage form

G

Guest

I have a site which takes property advertisements. In order for advertisers
to place an advertisement, I've created forms (using the Frontpage "Insert
Form" commands) where they can input the property description and contact
details.

I then have PayPal buttons where they can pay for the advertisement.

My question is: what is the best way to link the PayPal payment and the
advertisement? If 100 people place an add and 98 actually click on the PayPal
button, I don't want to try to manually match them up.

Alternatively, perhaps I've taken the wrong approach and there is a better
way to do this. I'm sure there is.

Comments and suggestions please.

Hello everyone!

I am new here so please be laugh with me if I ask a stupid question,
thanks. :)

My question is this: Is there a way to sync up a Frontpage website on
two computers? I work on my laptop sometimes, and other times on my
desktop. I would like to be able to update the web say on my laptop,
after having worked on it for a while on my desktop.

I was hoping there might be a way to do this when I click on "Publish Web"?

Thanks,

Steve

Two options, both require that live/remote site have the FP extensions:

1. Work on the live site directly in FP from whichever computer and when finish publish a copy down
to the current PC as backup. This approach is not the best option, as the world can see whatever
errors you make

2. From whichever computer you are working on, open the live/remote site in FP, then publish to your
local machine, make your changes, then republish to the live/remote site, repeat the process from
the other machine when working on it. This approach is the best option.

Thomas,

Thanks for the response! I'm looking for the live/remote site
command...is this in Frontpage 2002 that I'm currently using?

Thanks,

The live/remote site is the one host by a web hosting service or on a machine other than your local
PC where you are running FP.

I'd check with PayPal themselves - they have instructions on how to make the
payment links/methods work.
