How to Add Fundraise Up Installation Code to a Joomla Website
This guide is up to date with Joomla version 5.1.1.
Joomla is an open-source content management system (CMS) written in PHP. This guide provides multiple methods to add the Fundraise Up installation code to your Joomla website.
Method 1: Adding Code Directly to Template Header
- Locate your template's index.php file:
- Option A: Access directly on your server
- Option B: Use the template editor in the Joomla dashboard
- Find the
<head>tag in the index.php file. - Add the Fundraise Up installation code directly after the
<head>tag.
Method 2: Using Template Settings
- Access your Joomla template's settings.
- Look for an option to add custom scripts or code to the header.
- Paste the Fundraise Up installation code in the appropriate field.
Method 3: Using a Custom Module (Alternative Method)
If the above methods don't work, you can use a custom module:
- Download and install the "Custom HTML Advanced Module":
- Download from: http://www.pluginaria.com/custom-html-advanced.html
- Install the module in Joomla
- Enable the module: System → Manage → Extensions
- Create a new custom HTML module:
- Go to Content → Site modules
- Click "New" and select "Custom HTML Advanced"
- Add the Fundraise Up code:
- Copy the installation code from your Fundraise Up dashboard (Settings > Installation)
- Paste the code into the Custom HTML section of the module
- Configure module settings:
- Under "Menu Assignment", set the module to load on all pages
- In the "Module" tab, set the "Title" switch to "Hide"
- Select a position for the module (e.g., "debug" or any position that loads in the
<body>section) - Publish the module
With the Fundraise Up installation code successfully added to your Joomla site, you now have multiple options to direct users to your donation form. Start by creating a Campaign in your Fundraise Up dashboard. Once your campaign is set up, you can link to it directly or use one of Fundraise Up's Elements to promote your campaign more effectively and engagingly on your site.
