Personal Fundraiser Help

If you would like users to register via the plugin, you need to login to your site as an administrator and from the administrator dashboard, click on the Personal Fundraiser menu option to bring up the Personal Fundraiser options screen. There is an option on that screen titled “Login Required to Create”. Make sure that the checkbox next to that option is NOT checked. Below that option, there is another option titled “Allow Users To Register”. Make sure that the checkbox next to that option IS checked and then click on the Save Changes button at the bottom of the screen. When these option are set this way, when guests to your create their own personal fundraising campaigns, they are prompted to either register or login to your site. If they click on the register button, they will be presented with a small registration form to fill out.

As far as user images showing up, I assume you mean the image of the user who created the campaign? To display that image you have to add the following short code to your cause that your are using to create campaigns from:

[pfund-user-avatar]

Video can only be added by an administrator editing the cause and adding the proper HTML to display a video. However, users can add images. If you want to allow users to add their own images to their fundraising pages, you first have to define an image field. To do this, login to your site as an administrator and from the administrator dashboard, click on the Personal Fundraiser menu option to bring up the Personal Fundraiser options screen.

At the bottom of the screen you will see a list of fields defined for the personal fundraiser plugin. At the bottom of the list, click on the link titled “Add New Field”. You will then get a blank row to fill out. You will need to fill out the following information:

1. Label — The text that will display to the left of the actual field so that users know what to use the field for.
2. Description — Additional text that will display under the field. This field is optional.
3. Type — The type of field to display to the user. In the case of an image, select Image from the drop down
4. Required — Check this checkbox if you want to require users to fill out this field.
5. Shortcode — This non editable field displays the shortcode that you will need to use to display the image on the campaigns.
6. Actions — This field contains links that allows you to delete the field and move it up or down in the order that the fields are displayed to a user when they create a campaign.

Once you have created new field(s), you will need to click on the “Save Changes” button at the bottom of the screen.

Now that you have created a new field, you can start using it by adding the shortcode to your cause(s). For example, if you added an image field and called it Personal Photo, you would see that the field shortcode is [pfund-personal-photo]. You could then edit your cause (eg, in the admin Dashboard, click on Causes, find your cause, click on edit under the title of the Cause, and place [pfund-personal-photo] in your desired location in the cause. Then update the cause and click on View Cause from the Cause edit screen to see the screen that users will see when they are adding a new campaign.

I hope that makes sense. Please let me know if you have any more questions.

You can use css to size the uploaded images. All of the images will have the class pfund-img. For example if you wanted your images to all have a width of 184 pixels, you could add the following to your theme’s css:

.pfund-img{
       width: 184px;
}
