Re: Different subscription amounts for Friends of GNOME

["Guy Lunardi" <glunardi novell com>]

Stormy,

I looked into this rather quickly but it seems rather straightforward on
the Paypal side. We need to make a few changes to our HTML form and that
should be it.

We would need to make the following changes to the form: 
  -  Change "cmd" from "_s-xclick" to "_xclick-subscriptions"
  -  Add "a3" input which define the amount of the donation
  -  Add "p3" input with a value of "1" (every month)
  -  Add "t3" input with a value of "M" (Monthly)
  -  Add "src" input with a value of "1" (recurring)
  -  Rename "item_name" to remove "$10/month"
  -  Remove references to "for a monthly amount of $10"

There are many way to handle "a3" (the donation amount):
  - We use HTML radio elements like the rest of the form
  - Use javascript to create the form (unnecessary)
  - ...

While I was procrastinating this evening waiting for Miguel to be ready
to go home, I made a sample page with most of these edits:
http://www.487massave.org/friends/step2.html

It should be live and connect to Paypal... I did not test all the way, I
don't have any privileges to make changes to the actual page but will be
happy to walk anyone to the changes I made to the page above.

Best regards,
-Guy
