Adding a donations page #223
Conversation
|
When setting up Paypal Interlisp they offer a PayPal Giving donation form. I'm wondering about making a separate page for donations. would include all of the information about how to donate and why. and then changing all of the donate buttons to point there. https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=X69XCWJ6SJKUG |
|
Agreed, adding a separate donations page is a good idea and I can take care of that. Is this code for embedding the donation batton into the page? |
Yes - this will create a yellow 'pill' style button with the word Donate in it: |
|
For those interested in making a donation via corporate route (which sometimes includes matching) InterlispOrg can be found on the Benevity portal by either searching for “Interlisp” or the org numbered 840-872528093.

Is this the Benevity portal? The only search option I found, the magnifying glass icon at the top right of the page, seems to be just for site searches and not for searching organizations. |
|
No, any company that uses Benevity gets it's own private portal unique to that entity, tied to the company SSO and/or the payroll system.On May 6, 2024 2:00 AM, Paolo Amoroso ***@***.***> wrote:

Add a separate donations page.
|
I updated the PR with a draft of the new donations page. In addition to your feedback there are a few things to change and decide. What's the most appropriate weight of the new page, if any? I'd like to link the donations page from Get Involved: what's the path to use in the link? |

Naming it donate makes it unreachable from any of the existing pages. The page hierarchy has has three visible branches from our home page project, software and history. It needs to be hung off one of those to show up.
I'd suggest moving it into the project folder. It will then appear as a selection when the user is in the project portion of the web pages.

The project folder looks good but I need to figure how to move a file via the GitHub web interface I used for this PR, which doesn't seem to be possible other than by removing the file and recreating it at the right place.

Based on the discussion in the May 8, 2024 external meeting should the location of the new donations page still be /content/en/project/donate.md?

I'm not entirely sure what @stumbo has in mind, but if you save put the description at
content/en/project/donate.md and also add
aliases:
- /donate
in the initial header of the donate.md page, (I think) that will result in the short form https://interlisp.org/donate/ URL will redirect to the project/donate/ URL.
It is awkward to work on the web site using only the github editor, because there is no way to move files around or test the results of edits without deploying them -- you really need a local install of 'hugo' to do that.

@masinter Yes that will work. I was more concerned that the current name of the page would isolate it and make it unreachable.
Based on our Wednesday discussion, I'm rethinking the whole donate page. I wonder if we should take two approaches. One, put a donate button or icon on the footer of each page. Something along the lines of this:
I'm not sure I like the icon, but it's what was readily available. We could link the icon directly to the Paypal donate page. Secondly, we have a donate page, roughly the one Paolo has created that lives in the project hierarchy and holds information on the organization and all available donation options.

Replace this with the text at line 29 and remove lines 26 on.

Move this to be below line 9 - so, we have the text about being a non-profit, followed immediately be the donate button.

Not sure I understand. Do you mean removing the donations team and Benevity items altogether? Or removing from ## Tax deducibility onward?

Delete all of this, it will be covered in the donations page.

What about line 17? Should I remove it too or change the link to point to the new donations page (/project/donate)?

See #225 for a proposed update to this PR. |
The patch restructures the donations section of the Get Involved page as a list. This way the options stand out more and make up a template for expansion to more donation methods.
