Need dollars AND cents to appear on giving buttons?

Ingrid Zepp

We are gearing up for our senior class gift appeal, and the most popular option is often a gift in the amount of the graduating class year (so, $20.16 this year). I'm trying to figure out how to make the cents appear in my Online Express giving buttons... it keeps rounding to $20.


I've gone to "Fine Tuning - Suggested Gifts", but don't seem to be able to even manually type it in. Has anyone figured out how to do this?


Thanks! Ingrid

Unfortunately, I don't think this is an option...yet.  See this post and this Idea in the OLX Idea Bank.

Chris Martin, the Sr. Manager for OLX, just posted in the link, and there is a way to make it work! Here is the link, https://community.blackbaud.com/forums/viewtopic/213/17234?post_id=58709#p58709 and here is a copy/paste of his response:


It's actually possible to use fractional amounts for your suggested gift buttons in OLX. But it takes a tiny bit of CSS to make it work (see below). As part of the work we're doing for OLX in RE NXT late this year, we'll be revisiting this. But until then, this should work well:


1. On Step 2 of the OLX donation form editor, add suggested gift amounts to your form in any fractional amount you like....something like $25.16.


2. In the Display Name field, enter the amount you chose for the button (make sure to include the currency symbol):




When you save your form, this will produce buttons that look like this (as noted by others, OLX truncates the fractional amount that's displayed as the button label). Top row is your Display name and the bottom row is the OLX auto-inserted amount label.




3. Now all we need to do is just hide the OLX auto-inserted amount label. To do that, just paste this small bit of CSS either directly above or below your OLX donation form embed code, directly on your page:

<style>
.BBFormRadioAmount {display: none;}
</style>


All it does is hides the amount label that OLX insert onto the button. It will leave the "description" that you typed (which is also the amount, but with the fractional amount included). Your buttons will then look like this:




and when donors click this button and make a gift, OLX will indeed process the fractional amount:
