Editing templates

This article outlines how to edit template files within the Donate Now - Premium File Manager.

For best practices for receipts, see Receipts. For template sample, see E-mail Templates.

Template field reference

The following table lists all possible conditional blocks and replacement tokens, as well as sample values for each.

Conditional fields

Certain fields must be encapsulated within a conditional block.

A conditional block will only render its contents, if the corresponding data exists. For example, if no gift note was entered, the gift note conditional block will not display.

To define a conditional block, use the following syntax:

          {{#if: conditional_name}}          
             Enter any HTML and/or {{Fields}} here. {{#endif: conditional_name}}

Refer to the table above for a complete list of conditional statements, in the Use Context column.

Here is an example gift note conditional section including the enclosed HTML.

{{#if: giftnote}}          
              <h2>Gift Note:</h2>       <p>{{GiftNote}}</p>  {{#endif: giftnote}}

Editing

When editing a receipt, the following properties are available:

• File Name: This is the friendly name for your template/receipt. This will be used on the Template page to select this receipt.
• Template Purpose: Select the purpose for this template.
  • E-mail Receipt – Denotes that this template should only be selectable as an e-mail receipt. (See above for a list of fields valid for this purpose.)
  • CROWDFUNDING Tribute Notification – Denotes that this template should only be selectable as a multiple tribute notification e-mail template. (See above for a list of fields valid for this purpose.)
  • Unspecified – Only used when importing templates from previous versions of Donate Now - Premium. Do not use this purpose; no other Donate Now - Premium elements can use a template whose purpose is "Unspecified".
• Cache Lifetime: See  Caching in File Manager.

The HTML template itself can also be edited.
