MiniDonation extension adds <donationform> parser hook which can be used to display a PayPal donation form on a page. It's Wikimedia-specific so you need to edit the MiniDonation.php file to make the extension suit your needs.

Note: Special:Version says the tag is <donateform;> but it is, in fact, <donationform> (a bug in MiniDonation.i18n.php )

Installation

1. Download the files from SVN
2. Add
   require_once("$IP/extensions/MiniDonation/MiniDonation.php");
   to your wiki's LocalSettings.php
3. Installation can now be verified through Special:Version

Use

If you want to completely change the form then:

1. Edit MiniDonation.php
2. Get rid of everything between return <<<EOT and EOT;
3. Replace it with your HTML (e.g. the HTML from paypal.com when you create a button there)

If you use <donationform> and nothing appears after the donation form on your page, then use <donationform/> instead.
