Message Redirecting To Paypal was created by Bob Leavitt
When a person registers with Paypal, the following message is displayed "Please wait while redirecting to Paypal for making Payment". The message is very small and placed at the top of the message area. Some people don't see the message and when the Paypal site is slow to respond they think it's not working and go to another screen. Is there a way to display the message in larger type and place it in the middle of the screen?

You can edit the message via the Translation tab. I can send you my wait screen later tonight or tomorrow (away from my computer right now), Which uses both text and an animated gif.

Here's what I have entered in my Translation -> EB_WAIT_PAYPAL field:
Code:
<div id="EB_WAIT"><p><img src="/PATH-TO-FILE/PayPal_ProgressCircle.gif" alt="Loading... Please wait." /><br /><em>Please wait while redirecting to Paypal for payment processing.</em></p><hr /><p><strong class="EB_WAIT_noPP">No PayPal account? No problem!</strong> Just look for the <strong>DON'T HAVE A PAYPAL ACCOUNT</strong> link!</p><p><em>If you experience any difficulty with paying via PayPal,<br /><strong>please call 306-369-2555 x100 </strong>during office hours<br />and we will be happy to help you process your payment by phone,<br />or provide you with alternate payment options.</em></p><p><img src="/PATH-TO-FILE/PayPal-acceptance-mark.png" alt="PayPal" /></p></div>



When doing this this a year or two ago, I found that you cannot enter inline styles here without breaking the translation item, so I entered the following lines into (Configuration) -> (Custom CSS):
Code:
#EB_WAIT .EB_WAIT_noPP, #PP_WAIT .EB_WAIT_noPP, #EB_WAIT .PP_WAIT_noPP, #PP_WAIT .PP_WAIT_noPP { font-size: 1.2em !important; display: block; text-decoration: underline; margin-bottom: 5px; font-weight: normal; text-align: center; } #EB_WAIT, #PP_WAIT { margin-top: 60px; margin-bottom: 800px; } #EB_WAIT p, #PP_WAIT p { margin-bottom: 20px; }

Adjust the CSS if necessary.

I've attached the images if you'd like to use them.

And, of course take out or change the phone number from the text :)

Wow, I had no idea you could put this much code in a translate field. If my template changes or a new version of EB or Joomla are installed, will I have to retrofit this code? I'm thinking of the people who will be maintaining this site in the future.

The beauty of using (Events Booking -> Translation) or (Events Booking -> Configuration -> Custom CSS) is that it any changes that you've made are update-safe and will not be overwritten via automatic upgrades.
