Go to Settings -> General and fill out the "NGP API Key", "Donation Support Phone Line", and "Addt'l Information for Donation Footer" fields.
"NGP API Key" is how this plugin authenticates with your NGP VAN service. You need to make sure the API Credentials string you get from NGP is for the "CWP" API.
"Thanks for Contributing URL" is where the contributor is sent after a successful contribution.
"Donation Support Phone Line" is shown with the error message when the contribution gets rejected by the NGP VAN server.
"Addt'l Information for Donation Footer" might be used for listing things like donation mailing address, donation limits, taxable status of donations, etc.
Ensure that you have the following suffixes configured in NGP for your constituents/donors.
- Dr.
- Hon.
- Mr.
- Mrs.
- Ms.

You can set custom amounts for the donation amount in two ways:
- Put the amounts in the embed tag:
[ngp_show_form amounts="50,250,1000"] - Put the amounts in a GET querystring:
http://mycamapign.com/donation?amounts=50,250,1000
If you want to have a default donation amounts, put it in the embed tag and then override it with a querystring amounts when you need to.
You can source an article in two ways:
- Put source in the embed tag:
[ngp_show_form source="hard-hitting-ad"] - Put the source in a GET querystring:
http://mycamapign.com/donation?source=hard-hitting-ad
If you want to have a default donation source, put it in the embed tag and then override it with a querystring source when you need to.
We use the following on our donation pages to make sure that the user understands that the radio buttons and the input field are for the same thing. If the user doesn't support javascript and the custom field holds a value, it always overrides whatever's selected in the radio buttons.
$('.ngp_custom_dollar_amt').keyup(function() {
if($(this).val()!='') { $('.Amount').attr('checked', false); }
});
$('.Amount').mouseup(function() {
$('.ngp_custom_dollar_amt').val('');
});
You should be running your site under an SSL certificate if you utilize this plugin.

The main_code has to be created ahead of time in NGP: http://help.ngphost.com/content/creating-coded-landing-pages
