Creating donation buttons

Options

Hi,

A donation page has been created for designating giving/initiatives. There are six (6) different initiatives accompanied by a description blurb that a donor may choose to give to. My question is how can I create a donate buttoon to place at the beginning of each description and properly link to each donation form? Thanks.

  • Hi Amber,

    You can use your snippet donate buttons if you like. Since you will have a different form for each of the designations, you'll need to point each buttom to it's respective form. To do that, you'll make a small change to the snippet code for each button.

    Here's your donate snippet code:

    <!-- begin cvo snip don img --><a href="http://ldrf.convio.net/donate"><img src="http://ldrf.convio.net/images/content/pagebuilder/10440.gif" border="0"></a>

    Replace the FIRST underlined URL with the URL of the donation form you want the button to click to. Take care not to accidentally delete or replace anything excep the URL, including the quotes around the URL.

    What if you'd like to create a new donation button?  I'd like to have one that reads "Join Today."  I created a colored box with text, then highlighted it and tried to link it to my donation form but it's not working.  Maybe I'm missing something?

    Thanks!

    Buttons other than the Convio Go! snippets are usually best done by creating a static graphic using Photoshop or Gimp. You'll link the button to your form just like any other image.

    Particularly in email, buttons that aren't images tend to be tricky and break. Images are my preferred button method.

    Thanks!

  • If I have a donation button image that I'd like to put on the giving page, how do I make it actually go where it needs to? I guess I'd have to be able to see where the current one's snippet code is?
