Snoka Shortcode for CanadaHelps

A plugin that adds a shortcode to embed CanadaHelps donation forms on your WordPress site. With support for URL parameters and automatic language selection, this plugin makes it easy to accept donations from your site visitors.

Key Features

• Embed a form on your WordPress site using the [chform] shortcode.
• Set the language of the form to either English (‘en’) or French (‘fr’).
• Customize the form’s height and maximum width.
• Display the form in a modal window or as a regular embedded form.
• Pre-fill the form with a donation amount and frequency using URL parameters.
• Set the speed of the open/close animation.

Shortcode Attributes

• id (required): The page id from the embed code provided by CanadaHelps.
• language (optional): Specify the language of the donation form. Options: “en” for English or “fr” for French. If not specified, the plugin will use the user’s locale to determine the language.
• height (optional): The height of the form. Default is ‘1760px’.
• modal (optional): Whether to display the form in a modal window or not. Can be either ‘true’ or ‘false’. Default is ‘false’.
• max-width (optional): The maximum width of the form. Default is ‘940px’.
• button-text (optional): The text to be displayed on the button. Default is ‘Donate Now’.
• speed (optional): To set the speed of the animation in the shortcode, use the “speed” attribute and enter a number in milliseconds (1000 = 1 second). The default speed is 300 milliseconds. Example: [shortcode speed=”500″]

Examples

To specify the French form with an iframe height of 775px, you would use the following attributes:

[chform id=12345 language=fr height=775px]

To specify the modal form with an iframe height of 735px, max-width of 500px, speed of 125 milliseconds, with the button text ‘Donate’ you would use the following attributes:

[chform id=12345 height=735px max-width=500px modal=true speed=125 button-text=’Donate’]

URL Parameters

In addition to the shortcode parameters, the form can also be customized using the following URL parameters:
– amount: The donation amount to be pre-filled in the form.
– frequency: The donation frequency to be pre-selected in the form. Can be either ‘one-time’ or ‘monthly’.
– modal: If set to true will open the modal on page load if the shortcode attribute modal is also set to true.

Example

To display a form with the ID 123 in French in a modal window with a pre-filled donation amount of $50 and a pre-selected frequency of monthly:

http://example.com/page-with-form/?amount=50&frequency=monthly&modal=true

Note

The modal URL parameter allows you to open the form in a modal window on page load. To use this parameter, set its value to true in the URL.
For example:
http://example.com/page-with-form/?modal=true
Note that this parameter will only have an effect if the modal attribute in the shortcode is also set to true. If the modal shortcode attribute is not set or is set to false, the form will not be displayed in a modal window regardless of the value of the modal URL parameter.
If the modal attribute is set to true but the modal URL parameter is set to false, the form will still be displayed in a modal window when the button is clicked.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with the plugin, try the following:

1. Make sure you have entered the correct page id in the shortcode
2. Check the CanadaHelps website to ensure that their service is functioning properly
3. If the issue persists, try deactivating and reactivating the plugin, or contact us for further assistance
