That's a great question but, unfortunately, there's no simple answer. The best size and resolution for your background image depends not on your theme, but on the screen resolution of your visitors' devices and your design goals. 

For example, you may have a single, large background image (ex: a picture) or a small, quick-downloading tiled background. 

Your best bet is to experiment with different options until you find the one that works best for you.

When mapping a Custom List in Map View, you have total control over the minimum level of accuracy necessary to map a record using the dropdown menu just below the map. Specifically, you can "require primary address accuracy to be at least:"

• Exact Address;
• Zip;
• City; 
• State; or
• Country.

While it's possible to configure an event page to allow people to register that they are bringing guests (see screenshot below), it's not possible to collect personal data on two individual RSVPs at once.

If it's imperative that you collect all the signup information for both attendees, your best bet would be to turn off "Allow guests" and ask them each to sign up independently.

Another option would be to personally follow up with each RSVP who indicated that they'd bring a guest and manually enter their "+1" into your nation as an RSVP. 

Dean, you got it - using a redirect for the other nav item is the right way to do this.

If you have a custom theme and have modified either _columns_2.html or _supporter_nav.html, you can apply the fix by wrapping the like box snippet in a div with a new class called "fb-like-box"

Sample Embed Code:

<div class="fb-like-box"><fb:like-box href="{{ site.broadcaster.facebook_page_profile_url }}" width="240" show_faces="true" stream="false" header="false" colorscheme="{{ site.facebook_colorscheme }}"></fb:like-box> </div>

Custom Widths:

If you want a custom sized like box less than 292px wide, you can also wrap the embed code as shown above, but modify the width value to whatever you'd like both in the embed code, and by adding this class to the theme.scss:

.fb-like-box iframe { width: XXpx !important; }

You can also implement a different solution, like others mentioned here.

Remember: the FB like box needs to be updated in both the columns_2.html (view for logged out users) and the _supporter_nav.html (view for logged in users).

The "contribution rules" text is configured nation-wide (in your Bank Account settings) rather than on a per-donation page basis. 

To edit that text from within your nation, navigate to Settings > Bank Accounts > [Your Account] and you'll see the "Contribution rules" text area (pictured below).

Tagboards are a fun, simple and engaging way to aggregate content from popular social networks. And what's more, they're super easy to embed on your NationBuilder website.

1. If you haven't already, contact Tagboard about setting up your own moderated tagboard for the hashtag you'd like to aggregate. 
2. Once you're set up with your own moderated tagboard, you'll see a "Manage" button at the top right of the board.
   
   
3. Click "Manage" and select "Embed Code". 
   
   
4. Copy that code exactly as it is shown.
   
   
5. In your Control Panel, navigate to the page on which you'd like to embed your tagboard. (Note: for this FAQ we'll assume you're embedding on a Basic page.) 
   
   
6. Open the 'Template' tab on that page. 
   
   
7. Paste the embed code from Tagboard just below the {{ page.basic.content }} tag. 
   
   
8. Save and publish your template. 
9. View that page live on your website. Your tagboard is all set to go.
   
   

Note: While Tagboards work great on all of NationBuilder's public themes, they work especially well on the Version 2 Aware theme.

Robert, here's a video to answer your question!

On each person's profile within the People tab of your Control Panel, there is a tab called 'Notifications.' Clicking it will reveal a menu like the one pictured below, which allows you to specify exactly what that individual person will be notified about via email.

In the image above, I've highlighted the relevant setting to control who is notified when someone is assigned (to them or to someone else, depending on which box(es) are checked); NationBuilder calls assignments "point person changes."

'Blog Post' pages and 'Blog' pages are two distinct and different page types:

• A 'Blog Post' page is an individual 'Blog Post'. It contains only one entry, but that entry can exist in multiple 'blogs'.
• A 'Blog' page is a single page that aggregates and displays multiple 'Blog Posts'. This can happen in one of two ways: (1) a 'Blog' page can display all of the 'Blog Posts' that are subpages of that 'Blog' page or (2) a 'Blog' page can display all 'Blog Posts' on the site (not just the ones under that blog). 
  
  

Because 'Blog Posts' are unique pages unto themselves, marking their parent 'Blog' page as deleted won't remove them from your site — as they're still marked as published, individually. A 'Blog' on your site configured to show all blog posts on the site will, therefore, still show these individual 'Blog Posts' as published.

Hi Matthew --

That's a great question.

It appears that you're using our Civitas theme, which actually does not render a "read more" button for extended posts. Instead, Civitas truncates all blog posts to 30-words by default. To read the full post, visitors would click on the post's title.

If you'd like to modify the theme to include a "read more" button, you could create a custom theme with including code along these lines:

{% if post.blog_post.is_extended? }
<span class="read-more"><a href="{{ post.url }}">Read more</a></span>
{% endif }

The "amount raise" progress bar appears on your site whenever you have set a fundraising goal for that particular page in your Donation Settings.

To remove this goal, navigate to your donation page within you Control Panel. Then, open the Donation Settings tab. In your donation page's Donation Settings, ensure the "Goal for amount raised" field is set to "0.00", as pictured below. This will remove the "amount raised" progress bar from your public site.

As noted in the comments, once a blog post is published you can edit its timestamp in the field pictured below. 

It is possible to embed Moot on a NationBuilder page, though the process for doing so is a bit more involved than with most other third-party services (in part because Moot's recommended process requires embedding multiple lines of code in multiple places). Following the steps below should get you all squared away:

Step 1: Create a new Custom Theme in your nation. When prompted, choose "Clone existing theme." 

Step 2: Within your new Custom Theme, open the _layout.html file. 

Step 3: Visit Moot's documentation on Embedding in a new browser tab or window. 

Step 4: Copy the HTML code Moot specifies for inclusion in the <head> section of your website. Do not include the <head> and </head> tags, themselves — only the code between them.

Step 5: In your Custom Theme's _layout.html file (see Step 2), paste the code you copied in Step 4 on the line just prior to the </head> tag.

Step 6: In the code snippet that you just pasted into your _layout.html file, delete the following lines:

These lines of code are duplicative of code already rendered by NationBuilder, and leaving them in your theme may cause problems with rendering some parts of your theme (ex: dropdown menus, signup forms, etc.). 

Step 7: Within your Control Panel, navigate to the page you plan to embed the forum. (For the sake of this FAQ, we'll assume this is a 'Basic' page.)

Step 8: On the page you navigated-to in Step 6, open the 'Template' tab.

Step 9: In a new browser tab, return to Moot's documentation on Embedding. In the section labeled "Forums", copy the code snippet pictured below.

Step 10: Return to the 'Template' tab you opened in Step 7. Paste the code you copied in Step 8 just below the {{ page.basic.content }} tag. 

Note: Be sure to replace 'your_forumname' with the proper name for your forum.

Step 11: 'Save and Publish' your custom page-level Template.

Step 12: Look at the public facing site. Your forum should be ready to go!

Steve's comment (below) is correct. To upload images to a page in NationBuilder, you'll want to first open the "Files" tab. Upload the image there, and it'll be available to you in the content editor.

Hi Rick -- You can override any style on your nation's public website by:

1. "Inspecting the element" you'd like to modify;
2. Identifying the relevant CSS style you need to modify; and
3. Identifying the relevant CSS class to which that style is applied.

Once you've done that, you can add your own custom CSS to your nation's theme.scss file. 

By default, user submitted pages include the NationBuilder Signup ID of the supporter that submitted the page. If the supporter has specified a 'slug' for their Public Profile it will appear in the URL instead of their Signup ID. 

Note: Public Profile slugs are automatically set to match a signup's Twitter Username, if one is present in their profile.
