Customized Amounts

You can use the hook dgx_donate_giving_levels to replace the elements of the giving levels array. At some point, I’ll make that something you can do in the UI, but for now, you can easily just add the filter, intercept the array, and blast in your new values.

P.S. I know it requires some PHP skills, but a quick read on how to use WordPress filters should get you started.

I tried the following code:

function my_custom_giving_levels( $levels ) {
return array( 300, 150, 100, 30, 10 );
}

add_filter( ‘dgx_donate_giving_levels’, ‘my_custom_giving_levels’ );

I found this on https://allendav.com/2014/03/06/how-to-customize-giving-levels-in-seamless-donations/

It does update the giving levels in the plug-in settings but it does not update the amounts on the actual page that has been created with the shortcode…

Any thoughts?

It should work. I just traced through the code (I didn’t do a full debug pass, but on reading the code, it should work). But it relies on the saved giving levels. Make sure you go to Form Options and click Save Giving Levels after seeing that the levels show up in the Form Options form.

Let me know if that helps.

Nope….the script does change the amounts in the Form Options…I select the ones I want and hit save but the page itself defaults to the standard amounts built in to the plug-in….

I just made an assumption, but I should double-check… are you using 4.0 or an earlier version (is the dashboard icon a palm tree or a gear)?

Palmtree…..installed today.
Version 4.0

Okay, I’m thinking that’s a bug. Working on it. Stay tuned.

Hello!

I was looking to another stuff and found something in the plugin code that might help.

$givingLevels = apply_filters ( ‘seamless_donations_giving_levels’, $builtinGivingLevels );

It seems that instead of using add_filter( 'dgx_donate_giving_levels', 'my_custom_giving_levels' ); you should use add_filter( 'seamless_donations_giving_levels', 'my_custom_giving_levels' );

Anyways, I’m not sure and have not tested. Just sharing something that might be of use to you.

add_filter( ‘seamless_donations_giving_levels’, ‘my_custom_giving_levels’ );

So, the above shows custom levels on the actual page, but not all of them…it cuts off after 3 custom levels.

Also, form options defaults back to the built in levels….

The following code seems to work:

function my_custom_giving_levels( $levels ) {
return array( 251, 151, 101, 51, 21 );
}

add_filter( ‘dgx_donate_giving_levels’, ‘my_custom_giving_levels’ );
add_filter( ‘seamless_donations_giving_levels’, ‘my_custom_giving_levels’ );

Basically needed to add both filters in order for the levels to show on the form options and on the page with the shortcode….

I will update you once tested.

Yep, that is DEFINITELY a bug. Keep notes on where you made that change, because you should only need one filter and when I get the bugfix out, one or the other won’t be necessary.

Normalized the giving level filter. The filter dgx_donate_giving_levels existed prior to 4.0. In one location, rather than using the pre-existing filter, a new-yet-identical filter, seamless_donations_giving_levels was created. This filter was only used in one location and conflicted with dgx_donate_giving_levels. It has now been removed. The proper giving levels filter is dgx_donate_giving_levels.

This will be available in 4.0.1, probably posted by Monday.

I am having an issue with the amounts as well. When I am logged into wordpress dashboard my donation levels come up properly on my donation page with my custom amounts of 75 and 35 showing. However if I am logged off wordpress and bring up my donation page the amount only shows the level of 100. Why?

my custom amounts that I just simply added to the code
75, 35 in this file seamless-donations.php

$builtinGivingLevels = array(1000,500,200,100,75,50,35,20,10,5);

I also added two lines here in the code. (I don’t know PHP so I am stabbing in the dark)

if( $noneChecked ) {
// Select 1000, 500, 100, 50 by default
dgx_donate_enable_giving_level ( 1000 );
dgx_donate_enable_giving_level ( 500 );
dgx_donate_enable_giving_level ( 100 );
dgx_donate_enable_giving_level ( 75 );
dgx_donate_enable_giving_level ( 50 );
dgx_donate_enable_giving_level ( 35 );
}
This changed the form options and when I checked the amounts on form options and saved and refreshed the page I was so happy to see the amounts show on my donation page, but only when I am logged into my dashboard. ??

There is a much, much better way to do this. I recorded a video class on it this weekend. Watch the video. It will change how you think about this whole problem:

P.S. Also, make sure you update to 4.0.1 and do a save on your giving levels. Fixed a bug in the hooks.
