Changing donation prompt amounts
You can change the donation prompt amounts by clicking into the prompt module and changing:
- The text field for the module title (eg. £5)
- The text of the button (eg. Donate £5)
- The amount parameter at the end of the URL in the link field (eg. ?amount=5)
The 'Choose a different amount' box pick up the donate URL from a hidden HTML module at the top of the page, which shows with a red outline when in edit mode in the page builder.
These settings boxes are used on the donation page and the Friends of Wag pages. They should not be removed!
This is what the settings boxes look like in the editor.
When you click into the settings box, the donation url is set with a parameter that looks like this:
<div id="donate-url" data-donate-url="https://wagandcompany.boldlight-built.co.uk/support-us/donate/make-your-donation/"></div>
Adding a Vimeo video
- To add a vimeo video use the Video content block (or copy one from elsewhere) and then select 'Embed'.
- Log into Vimeo to get the Embed code for the video you want to show.
- Make sure that the Video Embed settings use the pre-set 'Wag - Just Controls' setting - this strips out all the Vimeo branding and stops it automatically trying to play another video in the library.
- Click on embed and then copy and paste the code into the content block on the site.
