Donation layouts
The Donations slide supports these layouts:
- Progress
- Split + QR
- Large QR code
- Thermometer
- Giving tiers
- Project showcase
Giving tiers and project showcase require one selected donation project. Other layouts can use all active projects. A QR code is displayed only after donation payouts through Stripe are set up.
Automatic slide data
Some slides read organization data at render time:
- Events read the organization’s public events.
- Jumu'ah reads Jumu'ah settings.
- Prayer timetable reads prayer and Iqamah data.
- Ramadan reads prayer times and the Taraweeh option.
- Hadith reads the screen settings language and interval configuration.
- Hijri date reads the current date.
- Donations reads the selected or active donation projects.
If that source data is missing, the slide may be empty or show no useful content. Configure the corresponding feature before publishing the playlist.
Date windows and disabled slides
Use Show from and Show until for seasonal or campaign slides. The end date cannot be earlier than the start date. Disabled slides remain in the playlist but are not rendered. Use date windows for Ramadan and temporary campaigns instead of constantly editing the playlist.
