well, yes, you would have to duplicate all the items in virtuemart, Im afraid.

however, I believe there's a button in PayPal to add items to a cart (I mean, not through virtuemart, but directly a button that paypal itself offers you), maybe you can integrate that button on the albums...that could be a solution for you?

I'm not sure how it works, I'm gonna investigate a little bit and let you know if I find out.

This is what I thought.

I think I would have to do the same for the Paypal 'add to cart'. Ie one button coded for each and every record.

Thanks for investigating for me.

I made an add to cart button as an experiment.

Where in the JMC code do I need to add the button code for the URL view-listings?view=album&id=452 ?

I havent investigated yet, but I'm pretty sure you can achieve something quite satisfactory with this

Oooh I've got my investigation juices flowing now

I see the approximate area where to add the button. I'm just wondering now, how and where to assign a different buy now button for each album.

I have made a 'custom HTML' button for the album. I would need to do this 449 times (449 albums). Then I would need to be able to assign each different block to a variable, and call the correct button depending on the album being viewed. I would need to place the button directly under the album art and above the track list.

just a though: do you REALLY need to do this 449 times??!?! that dont sound very useful!!

can I see the code for the one of the buttons? probably we can automatize the task of creating buttons

by the way, the button will be placed on /components/com_muscol/views/album/tmpl/default.php

You have mail.

I have found a way to make it work

When you create a button on the Paypal website, an email link is also created. You can put this email link in the 'Buy button' properties and it works.
