Conditional test for gift amount greater than X

William Tam · February 2016

isGiftAmountGreaterThan shows up in the S-Tag reference in some sample code, but doesn't seem to work (at least on a thank you page). The syntax is theoretically

dc:isGiftAmountGreaterThan:$60

which we expect would return 'true' if the gift amount listed on the thankyou page were greater than $60.

At least in the 'preview' mode for a Thank You page, I don't get 'true', even if the amount I'm testing for is $29 and the dummy 'gift amount' that is echoed with the dc:giftAmount s-tag returns '$40'.

Is there some method we can use to show conditional content on a donation thankyou page for people who gave more than X amount on the form?

I don't think the conditional will work properly in preview mode, since it keys on a gift amount that isn't truly there.

You can also use the S130 tag to do math.

What Brian said.... E130 all the way

Here's what you could use for Donation Amount:


[[?xFx::x[[E130:"[[S120:dc:giftAmount]]" 1 "[[S120:dc:giftAmount]]" length substring]] 29 > F T ?]]x::
over $29
::
under $29
]]

What it's doing is stripping the dollar sign from the donation amount so that it's a number being evaluated and then assigning True and False to the greater than evaluation.

Which basically could read:


[[?xFx::x[[E130:50 29 > F T ?]]x::
over $29
::
under $29
]]

Let me know if that works for you.

Happy coding,

Sara

Hi, Sara !

I was trying to setup a multi-part conditional and decided to check out the community before running to support. I'm in a similar spot to William who wrote earlier. For our capital campaign, donors will receive a certain number of characters for a recognition tile based on the amount of their gift. I want to have three options: above $999, above $499, above $249 and otherwise, show nothing. I tried to modify what you gave initially and wondered if you could tell me what I'm doing wrong! Thank you!
[[?xFx::x[[E130:"[[S120:dc:giftAmount]]" 1 "[[S120:dc:giftAmount]]" length substring]] 999 > F T ?]]x::
my content for $1000 givers and above::
[[?xFx::x[[E130:"[[S120:dc:giftAmount]]" 1 "[[S120:dc:giftAmount]]" length substring]] 499 > F T ?]]x::
my content for $500 givers and above::
[[?xFx::x[[E130:"[[S120:dc:giftAmount]]" 1 "[[S120:dc:giftAmount]]" length substring]] 249 > F T ?]]x::
my content for $500 givers and above::]]]]]]

I'm not sure about those end brackets! Anything you can provide would be helpful.
--Sincerely, Arielle
