Hi,

My organization offers donors a chance to make gifts in honor of a friend or family member.  We would like to configure our donation form so that the donor has the option to choose to send an eCard and/or send an honor card.  When I attempt to include both eCard and Honor Gift fields in the form it will not validate, because it says that both fields serve the same purpose (notifying the donor).  We would like people to have a choice between the two - does anyone know of a way around this?

Thanks,

Tracy

    Here is an example of a form that does what you describe (see the dropdown under "Notification Options"):

    https://secure3.convio.net/ctfk/site/Donation2?df_id=1320&1320.donation=form1



    The way this is built is by using a dummy textarea in an HTML caption on the form for the Ecard message body, and JavaScript that writes its contents to the actual message body field if the user has indicated that they wish to send an Ecard.

    Hi Noah,

    Thanks, that's really helpful.  Can you point me to any Convio resources that would help me to customize the donation screen to mimic your example form?  I was able to add the drop-down option, but don't know how to make the different drop-down options show/hide the eCard and Honorary fields.



    Thank you,

    Tracy

    If you'd like Convio's assistance with writing some JavaScript to do this, contact your Account Manager and they can get the project scoped for you.
