Hi- new to the site and got a question about the widgets you have.

I've previously used Just Giving and one thing I liked was the widget they offered which showed a live total, the past 3 donations and a link back to the main page. It doesn't look like any of the VMG widgets offer these functions and I just wondered if this was something which was in development?

Or if there were any technically minded folks out there who could offer advice on how to create a widget which does this?

Thanks!

15 views and no response? Not even a "no" from VMG?

Hi

We don't currently have an updating widget that shows the live total from your fundraising page. It's something that a few people have asked us for and definitely something we looking into.

The buttons we have that you can use if you like to link to your page can be found here

I agree, i'd love to have a widget for my main website.

Also, a 'search' option would be nice.

Hi Gordio

Thanks for your feedback. We still have a fundraising widget on our future development plans, and we'll update everyone in the forum when we have something you can use.

If you want to add a search box to your website to search for fundraisers, charities, or events you can use the HTML fragment below:



All you need to do is modify the value of the three 'hidden fields' to either be true or false, depending on whether you would like to search for Charity's, Event's or Fundraising pages. You can set either one, two, or all three of them to be true.

After clicking submit you'll be taken to our search results page with the appropriate results.

I really really really want this widget. I'm an experienced programmer, with java, c and php experience - is it anything I can help with?

Can I add a +1 to this request - it seems to be something so basic and such a key thing to drive more donations
