Rendering TeamRaiser participant or team name on donation form

Greg Sims

How can I render the name of a TeamRaiser participant or team on whose behalf someone makes a donation so that it appears at the top of the donation form? For example, when a donor clicks the "Donate" button on a personal/team page, I want the top of the donation form to read something like:

 

"Thank you for making a gift on behalf of [Participant/Team Name]"

 

I was told this might be a built-in option when creating a new donation form as part of the TeamRaiser configuration itself. However I created the donation form in question in "Donation Management". Is there an S-tag code snippet I can insert on my form to accomplish this?

 

Also, is it possible to use the same (or different) code to pull in the TR participant/team's name on the donation autoresponder?

 

Thanks!

Hi Greg, 

 

When you are in the donation form editor, be sure to add the TeamRaiser/Personal Fundraising - Caption to the top of your donation form. In each section: TeamRaiser Participant Caption, TeamRaiser TEam Caption and TeamRaiser event caption, you can use S-Tags to populate the event name and participant name. 

 

Example: Please enter your gift to [[S120:dc:eventName]] on behalf of [[S120:dcarticipantName]]. (see screenshot)

 

I would double check the S-Tag documentation to confirm if you can use the same tags in the autoresponder. 

 

Hope that is helpful!

Thanks, Tara! Had never seen that element in the donation form editor before. That will certainly do the job, but I wonder if you could help me take things one step further.

 

It doesn't appear possible to apply font styling to that element (i.e. bolding, type, size). I know how to insert one of the S-tags - let's say [[S120:dcarticipantName]] - into a regular HTML Caption element to get the same result if someone makes a gift on behalf of an individual participant. What I don't know how to create in the standard HTML Caption is a conditional that will properly pull the participant name if the donation originates from a personal page, team name if originating from the team page, or event name if to the overall event. Would you know how to do that?

 

Appreciate your help!

Hey Greg,



As far as I know, you have to use the TeamRaiser/Personal Fundraising caption to pull in that content. It will automatically render the form based on origin of a Personal or Team page or General Donation.



If you have a developer on staff or coding knowledge, you can apply styling to the donation form in the pagewrapper.

If you use [[S120:dc:fundName]] it will pull in the participant name, team name, or event name, depending on which level you've clicked through donate.

Thanks for the tip, Chris. Will give it a shot!
