How to upgrade your theme for Donation (v2) pages

If you have a custom theme on donation V2 pages, you may need some updated styling for payments and goals.

If you have a custom theme on donation V2 pages, you may need some updated styling for payments and goals. 

Adding styles

Along with our new integrated payment processor, we designed a new donation page type that allows for collecting one-time and recurring payments on a single page. It also comes with an updated look that is optimized for desktop and mobile.

However, if you customized a NationBuilder theme prior to January 25, 2018, you may not have gotten the styling required for this new page type to display properly. In order to manually update your theme to include the latest styles, you need to do the following:

Find your website's theme.scss file.

1. In the control panel, go to Website and select the site you wish to modify.

2. Click on the Theme section of the site.

3. Click on theme.scss.

If you are using our Dropbox integration to edit your theme, you will need to locate the theme.scss file within your theme’s local nb_sync folder.

Below is a list of links to updates to each theme. Follow the link associated with the public theme used as the base of your theme, or Bootstrap.  This will lead you to Github, an online code repository. Copy code from the page and paste it at the bottom of your theme.scss file. After previewing the changes, publish theme.scss and your new donation page should updated with styles.

📌 Note: If you are making these changes after October 2021, you will also need to add the express payment options _epo_theme.scss code to the bottom of your theme.scss file.

Links to files:

⚠️ Donation (v2) pages will not function correctly if you are using a deprecated Version 1 theme (or a custom theme built off of a Version 1 theme).

**For guidance on styling any of the payment fields within a Donation (v2) page, be sure to take a look at this tutorial on how to style payment fields.  

Adding goals to custom themes

"Amount Raised" and "Number of Donors" type goals were not initially included in the release of Donation_V2 pages, so if you have a custom theme that was created prior to September 6th, 2018, it likely doesn't have the markup required to represent these goals on your front-facing website.

Use the code snippets below to update the _pages_show_donation_v2_wide.html template in your custom theme.

You'll need slightly different markup depending on what particular stock theme your custom theme started as, and in some cases might need to reach out to your Architect or web developer. If you're unsure of what public theme your custom theme started as, or need help placing the code in your template, reach out to [email protected] or use the in-app support messaging in your control panel.

If you are using a customized theme that started as Aware, Collective, or Presence, paste this markup immediately above the {% form_for donation %} liquid tag which should be on or near line 14:

{% assign thermo_width = 50 %}
   {% if page.donation_v2.has_amount_goal? %}
  <div class="clearfix">
    <div class="progress" style="width: {{ thermo_width }}%;">
      <div class="bar bar-success" style="width: {{ page.donation_v2.percent_of_amount_goal | times:100 }}%;">
        {% if page.donations_count < 1 %}
