The forms id are defined in reus_donation_confirmation_copy reus_donation_confirmation__intro_children_promo - is the file that contains customized thank you text for donation forms that promotes monthly sponsorship for the children. The forms id are defined in reus_donation_confirmation_copy - The file is split into two parts: recurring donation, and one-time donation. Please note where these areas are by looking at the
<!-- --> comments. If you would like to update your recurring donation intro text this area is easy to identify. If you would like to update a one-time donation, or a specific one-time donation campaign message please be wary of the structure. - Inside the
<!-- one-time donation --> area there is a logic conditional for emergency campaigns.This logic conditional says: If this is a campaign with id:1286 (emergency campaign ID) display this Thank You message... (message) ::if not an emergency campaign then display this generic Thank You...(message) ]] These areas have also been noted with comments please take note of these. - If you would like to make a new customized message for new or different one-time donation then you must follow the pattern of this emergency campaign setup. You will need to copy this strucutre:
- The rest of the file that occurs after the end of the specific campaign conditional
<!-- End of emergency campaign onditional --> and before the <!-- End of one-time donation --> is the remainder of your one-time donation message, not exclusively for the specific campaign you tested for above, this is for one-time donation. You may change this as well. This may be any sort of contact information, or salutations.
Intro Copy for Autoresponders
Standard Donation Thank You - is the autoresponder we will use as our example. - Edit the Standard Donation Thank You autoresponder and either edit your existing version if it is a small change to the existing message, or create a new version if you are going to be using a completely new message.
- The portion of text you will want to edit is inside of
<td class="body-content type">all text here</td>. - Be very wary of any
:: or [[ or ]] these are necessary, DO NOT REMOVE* - This autoresponder has a conditional to check for the emergency campaign same as the
reus_donation_confirmation__intro_text file had: [[?x1286x::x[[S120:dc:campaignId]]x::. It also has a call for the particular Crisis Name that has been donated to: [[S120:dc:custom:custom_string158]] so this can be used in the message. - Be aware of the logic for the conditional and where your message will be for a specific campaign, and where your message will be for the general campaign. If you do not know, refer back above to the description.
