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}}

    

Gift Note:

    

{{GiftNote}}

{{#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.
