Could I get some clarification on this? I’m trying to figure out if I can adjust/insert the flexslider customization “slideshowSpeed:” as indicated in their documentation, or if I need to override the flexslider using Arya’s suggestion below. (I disabled NationBuilder’s initialization of flexslider by changing the _features.html classes and ids of “page-features” and “feature-slides” to custom ones (don’t forget to change them in the scss files as well!). Then, I inputted my own init custom script…) This seems like so much work just to slow down or speed up the slider by a few seconds.

Sadly, that type of link doesn’t apply when sending out a link externally. We uploaded a PDF report file and emailed the link out to a bunch of people before realizing there was an error. I can’t update the file and retain the original cloudfront URL, which is a really big bummer. It’s so frustrating that I can’t access the cloudfront folder and swap out the file with one of the same name.

Thanks Jeff, that’s very helpful in clarifying how to use this JavaScript for other similar scenarios. I realized in my situation that the reason for the error is listed below “1 Error Occurred While Processing This Form” but in very small text. So, I ended up adding some code to make the “1 Error..” text very small and the exact reason very big. I think this will be enough to clear up the confusion. But it’s very helpful to see that I can apply that JavaScript to any page I might need to modify in the future. Thanks a bunch!

I want to echo the frustrations of others surrounding the available email templates. For a newsletter, the available templates are uninspiring and limited. I heard rumor that new templates will eventually be released, so I really hope that’s happening soon. I was able to import a newsletter I designed in iContact, by putting the entire html of the newsletter in the template file and leaving the body blank. I then had to insert the necessary NB liquid elements in order to send. The entire process was very clunky and time consuming, and I ended up leaving the associated images in iContact where I originally uploaded them instead of uploading them to NB and manually changing the image url. Using this method requires that I keep paying for my iContact account if I want to use their templates, which is an unexpected expense. I am very disappointed with the email functionality and template availability in NB and really hope they work to improve this soon.

Hi Ian, yes I agree it’s a bad solution. That’s what I meant by being messy. Thanks for dissuading me from trying it out. Another thought I just had was that I could redirect people to a feedback form after they finish the RSVP process where they could give us the names of any people they are bringing. It’s not ideal, as it won’t populate on the RSVP list, but is better than nothing.

To clarify, if I paste a nationbuilder page link into facebook, it pulls the thumbnail image I uploaded into the social media section and looks fabulous. The problem occurs when someone takes an action and is prompted to share on facebook. In this scenario the image does not load correctly. Thanks!

I figured it out! If this is helpful for anyone else, the excerpt show is different depending on where it shows up. In my case, I wanted the change the excerpt shown on the homepage. So, in _homepage_excerpt.html I found the section and changed <div class=“truncate-300”> to <div class=“truncate-500”></div>
</div>

I will echo Ben and say that I’ve been trying to change the Flex Slider from ‘slide’ to ‘fade’ and have had no luck. If anyone has had success with that I would love to see how it was done. There’s really no script I can modify? I have to overwrite? This is seeming beyond my capabilities, which is too bad for something as basic as fade vs slide.
