What can I say!? I was in the middle of an article on which I had to add some functions to show the paypal button only if a user was already logged on. That was the easy part, however, making the PayPal html code work from within PHP was driving me crazy and I found out that loading a module with the echo command was easier to do. The bad thing is that the PayPal extensions did not supported the Subscribe button I needed.

I had to think about creating my own module for this. I read the documentation and then decided to do a final check on the joomla extensions directory and found this extension. It is a lot easier to just paste the code into code piece and then call it from the article. Works without a problem and opened other posibilities for me to play around.

I just hope this extension does maintain a good support, it will be part of my joomla installation unless it is added to the next joomla version.

Thank you a lot for this review!

Actually it does have a good support (I think I provide).

Funny or not, I created it for the same reason and if anyone comes by to my site (mavrosxristoforos.com), he can see the donate buttons at the bottom of some extensions.

Those, among with some other things are rendered by Code Piece.

Thanks again

Like the developer said, I got tired of using extensions that only allowed me to pass php code using includes or using special tags. I wanted to type my code in and get it to work. This does exactly that. Type in your php code and it will work, unless you try to use some of the php commands that are blocked. But guess what, you can change that setting too!!!

Excellent job, this is a must to be included into any future joomla version.
