  Hello,

  We are collecting donations for our nonprofit public art project. Does anyone have information on creating a graphic or something similar that would show the progress of our donation efforts? If it could integrate with our paypal, that would be awesome. We would also be happy with a option that we would manual enter in donation amounts.

  Thanks and happy new year!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Thanks for the link to the forum.

  I tried to create a Gigya shortcode, but I am getting a “embed_shortcode: is not a valid URL” message. Any ideas? Here is my code also a link to the page.

  [gigya src="https://giving.paypallabs.com/flash/badge.swf” allowScriptAccess=”always” allowNetworking=“all” movie=”https://giving.paypallabs.com/flash/badge.swf” quality=”high” bgcolor=”#FFFFFF” wmode="transparent" FlashVars=”Id=e10edb20155b012fbb3c000d60d4c902” width="205" height="350" Id=”badgee10edb20155b012fbb3c000d60d4c902” align=”middle” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” pluginspage=”http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer”]

  Thanks. I actually followed that post by Panos when I created the Gigya shortcode. I think I just have a small error in it and I am not familiar enough with writing code to find it. I’ll re-check the code and see what I can do.

  Thanks.

  Re-checked and cant find whats wrong. I have essentially the same code as molliemorrissette from the other forum, but I have a different badge code. She says her gigya shortcode works, but I cant get mine to. Anyone have any ideas?

  Thanks.

  Never-mind. I figured it out. I originally typed the code in Word, and copied it into the html. The quotation marks that were transferred from Word did not work in the html. I just had to delete and add new ones.

  Thanks for the help and the reference to molliemorrissette’s question.
