Thanks, Jason. I hoped there was a method other than tinkering with the JS for the slider, perhaps something I may have missed in the CRM. Well, it’s good to know.

commented on How do I customize a text field input box?
This works to get the text_field the proper size. (Thanks!) However, the input starts at the left/middle of the field. I want it to start at the left/top. Other users having this issue with textfields asked how to fix it on StackOverflow. Every answer on StackOverflow says to change the textfield to a textarea to fix this problem. However, there are no text_area options in custom data fields.

As an experiment, I changed the two text_fields in my form to text_area. I filled out the form and the data was submitted. However, following up in the People tab, the form did NOT record the data from the first field, only the last field.

I get points for trying, I guess, but now I have a different problem. I checked the custom field tags and everything seems to match. (if they didn’t match, I would get a liquid error).

Brooke: yes, you can do this. You can even have a second row of buttons. :-)

I mean remove the spaces between the { and the % in the examples above. I couldn’t put those two characters right next to each other because they would cause the system to read them as actual code, causing an error or making them invisible.

commented on Posting petition total on another page
I created this include file, _petition_count.html:

{% for post in page.petition.signatures_count limit:3 offset:0 }
<div style=“font-weight: bold; font-size: 16px;”>{{ page.petition.signatures_count | number_with_commas }}</div>
{
endfor %}

Then on my page where I wanted the count displayed, I put this tag: <h2>Total number of petition signers: {% subpage “petition” with “petition_count” %}</h2>

However, nothing shows up. (see About page linked above).

I am missing a step. Something basic, I am sure of it, but I’m not sure where I can find the answer.

:-) Thanks for your reply, Lilia. In the time since I posted the question, we had to go live with the page. Moving them to the template solved the issue (not gracefully, but whatever, fixed is fixed).

That is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.

commented on Adding Zip Code to _signup_form
Thanks! That worked… But now I’m getting sort of an error:

http://sandbox-timwayne.nationbuilder.com/

When putting in an email address and a zip code, it says “Saving” and the little progress animation is going, but it never completes.

commented on How can insert a twitter feed into the sidebar of a locked theme?
I do not believe this would work.

• I share the theme with user A, B, C, D and E.
• I make theme editable by users
• user B makes an edit to layout.html
• user C makes an edit to _columns_2.html

Result:
User A, B, C, D, and E will see the edits B and C made on their own respective Nation.

I don’t understand the alternative you described, with JQuery. If you could elaborate, that would be awesome.

commented on How to add javascript snippet to footer
Robin -

So, you entered the UA number in the NationBuilder CRM. Did you verify that the code is or is not showing up? Go to your live site again, view source, and search (cntrl-F or cmmd-F) for your UA number.

If you DO indeed see it on there but Google is saying it isn’t there, then what’s likely the issue is that you have to wait a day or two for Google to index your pages again.

If you DO NOT see your UA number on the page anywhere, then that’s a more serious issue and you should maybe open another ticket for that.
