Configuring My Mission Trips

 

Quick Start

Help people going on Mission Trips visualize and manage their trips. See the Quick Start Guide for tips on getting the My Mission Trips Widget up and running.

If the shared script hasn't been added to your website, add it to your desired webpage. Be sure to replace "{your platform domain}" in the following code with your church's base MP URL.

<script id="MPWidgets" src="https://{your platform domain}/widgets/dist/MPWidgets.js"></script>

Create a webpage on your website that will display your My Mission Trips Widget or identify the page on your website where it will be displayed.

Add the My Mission Trips Widget to your church website by adding following snippet of code, along with required attributes, in the body of your chosen website page, modifying the required attributes discussed below.

<mpp-my-mission-trips 
missiontripcampaigntypeid="2">
</mpp-my-mission-trips>
Tip: While not mandatory, this snippet would typically be placed inside a <div> element with the class "container."

Pledges are eligible to appear in My Mission Trips whenever they meet the following criteria: 

  • Today's date is less than the End Date or the End Date is undefined.
  • The Campaign Type matches the type set in attribute "Mission Trip Campaign Type ID."
Note: Active/Completed Pledges will appear for 6 months after the Campaign End Date. 

Images attached to the Pledge Campaign will appear in the widget. If there is no image, a stock image will displayed. File formats supported both by browsers and the Platform are: bmp, gif, jpg, and png. The widget software will crop and focus on the center of the image according to an ideal ratio of 59/32.

Customization

All Widgets are customizable, so change the button color and update the labels to match YOUR church!

CSS: Every Widget accepts the Custom CSS attribute. Include it before the opening Widget tag is closed to customize your Widgets.

Application Labels: Call them Service Trips instead of Missions Trips? You can update the page title (and more)! Navigate to System Setup > Application Labels (note that churches are responsible for all translations if the default is not used) and make your update.
