The DonateBoxInSidebar extension allows an automatic addition of a PayPal donate button or box to a wiki's sidebar. (This extension is a further development of the SidebarDonateBox extension.)

Installation

• Download and place the file(s) in a directory called DonateBoxInSidebar in your extensions/ folder.
• Only when installing from Git, run Composer to install PHP dependencies, by issuing composer install --no-dev in the extension directory. (See T173141 for potential complications.)
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:

  wfLoadExtension( 'DonateBoxInSidebar' );
  

• Run the update script which will automatically create the necessary database tables that this extension needs.
• Configure if required
• Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

Configuration

1. Add your PayPal button/box code in your LocalSettings.php file using:

$wgDonateBoxInSidebarContent = 'Put your PayPal code here';
