Displaying Team Gifts on Team Page

Giovanni Salimena

I have decided to remove the generic Thermometer found on default Team and Personal pages and display just styled numbers for campaign goal and achieved. To do this I had to hide most of the team and personal page side bar functionality in order to be able to style a new one to what I wanted.  I placed all HTML into the HTML field of the Default Team Page to create this custom bar.  However, it seems Convio / Blackbaud has disabled the ability to use the S43 tag in the Custom HTML field of a Team Page. I can't get the Team Goal or the Team Dollars to display.  Here is the code that I have used in the Custom HTML Field, the fr_id=1410 in this S Tag:

 

[[S43:1410:goal-dollars]]

Campaign Goal

 

[[S43:1410:dollars]]

Achieved

 

What I can't figure out is the S Tags above won't work, but my conditional below for the top donors scroll works perfectly.

[[E36:top_gifts_list,1410,[[S334:team_id]],0,SCROLLING,SUM,100,Fundraising Honor Roll]]

 

Seems silly  to disable the S43 Tag on a Default Team Page as it displays TeamRaiser Team Information!

 

 

I have 2 questions. 

 

1) Has anyone had success using the S43 tag in the HTML field on the Default Team Page? Or has it truly been disabled?

 

2) When the S43 tag is working will it display the Total Team Gifts or just the donations made to the team on behalf of members of a team? If it doesn't show Total Team Gifts, is there a tag not in the S Tag Master PDF that will?  I see the number is displayed on the Team Page, there must be a way to grab it.

 

 

My Personal Page experiment to get the same results as I am trying to get on the Team Page worked perfectly!  I used the tags: [[S48:1410:goal:]]  and [[S48:1410:dollars:]].  Worked like a dream!

The reason my code wasn't working was due to the Session Tags (S Tags) document lacking documentation. The document gives the form example:

 

[[S43:fr_ID:typearam]]

 

Based on this example I created the following:

 

[[S43:1410:goal-dollars]]

Campaign Goal

 

[[S43:1410:dollars]]

Achieved

 

Convio was able clarify that they were not in fact disabling the S tag on team pages, but that the documentation neglects to mention needing to obtain Team ID information. It turns out that you need to obtain the Team ID in order for the S43 tag to work.  So I had to use the S334 tag to obtain the Team ID and then place it into the parameter spot of an E tag. I was under the assumption based on the documentation that the S43 tag was grabbing that automatically.  The final version ended up looking like this:

 

[[E43:1410:goal-dollars:[[S334:team_id]]]]

Campaign Goal

 

[[E43:1410:dollars:[[S334:team_id]]]]

Achieved

 

Even though the documentation is written oddly for the dollars parameter, you can rest assured knowing that it does in fact display total dollars raised by the team.

 

This post is answered! It all works just as designed.

Giovanni,

 

Thanks for looping back to the Community with your solution to this. I ran into the exact situation that you just described-- followed the S-tags doc, nothing displayed, etc., then found your post here. Works!
