# Participant Center
The participant center called Save the Children Default - Responsive Participant Center should be assigned to all events. This is a custom build center that contains branded design and elegant display. The participant center formerly called Become a Fundraiser PC has been relabeled Luminate Default (not pretty) - Become a Fundraiser PC to convey it's appearance to admins.
# History
When the TeamRaiser code was being deployed Blackbaud has not officially released the Participant Center v3 as a product. At that time STC contracted developer created a Become a Fundraiser PC, which was out of the box participant center v2 which is not fully responsive. After the official launch, Blackbaud provided DNL Omnimedia & STC with the source code of the participant center (opens new window). The source code was then updated and extended to meet the designs and specifications of the Save the Children team. The provided code did not include the Facebook integration code. The Blackbaud team provided that source code at the later date and it was integrated into the existing code base. The currrent source code lives in a Bitbucket repository (opens new window) and is managed by the DNL Omnimedia. The code customizations include all participant center pages & code for inline edits for personal (opens new window) and team (opens new window) pages. As of 2022-03-10 Become a Fundraiser PC still contains not fully responsive v2 participant center code, it has none of the customizations or brand colors. For those reasons use of that participant center is not recommended.
# Event Types
# Book Events
Book events are driven by the two custom event fields. When the book event is properly configured a progress bar will be rendered in the participant center. The progress bar will also contain fields that will allow users to update their goal and progress.
# Facebook Integration
The participant dashboard will show an option to connect the fundraiser to Facebook only if the Facebook integration was enabled for a specific event.
To verify that the fundraising integration is enabled, edit the event. Then go to step 2. Select Fundarising Options. Scroll down to question 7. Enable Facebook Fundraising Integration.
# DIY Events
Many events created by Save the Children in TeamRaiser are DIY events. The participant center contains some logic for events of this type. When an event is a DIY event, the standard event date & location information are not displayed on the dashboard page. The goal of the DIY events is to allow users to fundraise on their own schedule.
# Host Your Event
If DIY event is configured to allow users to host their own events, via inclusion of the Event Date question in the event, the users could see and update that date in their participant center. The custom date will also render on personal & team pages, if set. See configuration article for more information on how to configure a DIY event.
