We developed the Click & Pledge CONNECT Module for organizations to host our payment forms on their Drupal websites. With this module, an organization’s website administrator can create a Form and pledgeTV® groups may be defined as a family of forms or TV Channels, from one or different campaigns, with different start & end dates. When the form group is created, the module will provide a “Short code” that can be copied and placed in Drupal pages/articles.

NOTES for Module
- The CONNECT form will be responsive even if the Organization’s site is not responsive.
- HTTPS Protocol Highly Recommended. All Click & Pledge forms, standalone and embedded are completely secure. That being said, we still highly recommend that any Click & Pledge form you embed on your website be on an HTTPS webpage for 2 reasons.
1. It will ensure your patron understands your payment page is secure.
2. Some web browsers, like Google Chrome, will flag your page as 'Not Secure' if it is not an HTTPS page.
Supports:
Click & Pledge CONNECT module supports WordPress 8.x and above.
Prerequisite
This module also requires the PHP extension SOAP to be installed and configured on the server where the website is hosted. If you do not have this extension, contact your website hosting provider to add it. For more details click here.

Creating Form Groups
To create a new form, go to Form Groups > Add New Form Group (click it).
Form Group Name*: Enter the form group name. If the entered group name already exists, (groups have the same name and short code) the group that was added last will take precedent.
Account(s)*: Select the C&P Account from the drop-down menu.
NOTE: The drop-down will be disabled if only one C&P Account is integrated.
Start Date & Time*: Enter the start date of the form group. Form group may start with past or future dates.
NOTE: Time zones can be modified in People > Locale Settings.
End Date & Time: Enter the end date of the form group. This is not a mandatory field. If this field is empty, the end date of CONNECT forms you have added will take effect, and the short code will expire on form end date.
Display Type: Select either Inline or Overlay from the dropdown menu.
Inline: The selected CONNECT form will appear in the web page. It will automatically adjust the size of the form, so it fits within a page of your website.
Overlay: The selected CONNECT form will appear when a link is clicked. The link can be in the form of Text, Button, or an image. In this case the CONNECT form will open on the same page as an overlay.
Link Type: By selecting the display type as Overlay, you will be asked to choose the Link type. Link type may be a text, an image or a button.
Button Label: You can customize the selected button type label.
No Valid Form Message: The message entered here will appear in case the form is unavailable. Forms may be unavailable if either the Account, Form or Form Group have expired.

Click ‘Save’ after entering all the details in the form group.
Add CONNECT Forms
By clicking on ‘Save’ button, a new section will appear showing the campaign details which you have already created in Click & Pledge CONNECT. By selecting the Campaign Name and the form, the form GUID will automatically appear along with the Start Date. To add a second form, you need to select an end date for the first form. Click ‘Save’.
NOTE: Minimum of one form should be added. The second form’s start date will be the first form’s end date which means that the second form will be active only when the first form has ended.

By clicking the 'Save' button, you will be redirected to the Form Groups page where you will see the list of added form(s) along with the existing form groups. Based on the given form group name, Short Code will be generated.
