DoSomething Campaign - DoSomethingArchive/legacy-website GitHub Wiki

This module defines the Campaign node type and provides related functionality.

  • The dosomething_user and dosomething_signup modules handle the actual campaign signups.
  • The dosomething_reportback module handles creating and updating user reportbacks for the campaign.

Campaign Types

There are two Campaign types currently available:

  • Campaign
  • SMS Game

This is defined by the value saved in a Campaign node's field_campaign_type.

Campaign

A Campaign refers to a Campaign node where Campaign Type == 'campaign'.

A live Campaign has two different displays: a Pitch Page and an Action Page.

Pitch Page

A pitch page renders the Campaign node in node--campaign--pitch.tpl.php in the dosomething_campaign_preprocess_node function.

The logic for when it is displayed is defined in dosomething_campaign_is_pitch_page($node).

The pitch page will display when either is true:

  • An anonymous users is viewing the campaign node.

    • For anonymous users, the signup button opens up a login/register modal. Upon signing in, the user will be signed up for the campaign, and directed to the action page.

  • An authenticated user has not signed up for the campaign node

    • For auth users, the signup button will up the user and direct the user to the action page.

A staff user is able to view the pitch page by navigating to node/[nid]/pitch.

Action Page

The action page is an internal term used by the campaigns team, technically it's implemented as just the "full" view mode of a Campaign in node--campaign.tpl.php.

It is displayed when authenticated users are viewing a campaign node and have signed up for the campaign.

A staff user will view the action page by default when viewing a campaign, regardless of signup status. This is implemented via dosomething_campaign_is_pitch_page().

The Action page includes a user reportback form, where the user can reportback on the campaign. Upon submitting, the user is directed to the confirmation page.

If a user who has reported back navigates to the campaign again, they are able to update their reportback submission.

SMS Game

A SMS Game Campaign node is rendered in node--campaign--sms-game.tpl.php. @see dosomething_campaign_preprocess_node.

The SMS Game campaign type does not require all of the various fields that a standard Campaign does, so field groups are hidden from the Campaign node form upon selecting "SMS Game". This is implemented via Javascript added in dosomething_campaign_form_campaign_node_form_alter.

The SMS Game is available to anonymous users; you do not have to sign in to submit the Alpha/Beta Signup form which is rendered on a SMS Game.

Confirmation Page

Implementation

The confirmation page is implemented via a menu hook and page callback, with path campaigns/[nid]/confirmation. This menu declaration should be kept in sync with the dosomething_campaign_get_confirmation_path function, which accepts a $nid parameter.

Content

Recommended Campaigns

The confirmation page displays 3 recommended campaigns for the user. This is determined by first finding published campaigns which are staff picks, that the user has not signed up for.

If there are less than 3 staff picks that the user hasn't signed up for, the confirmation page will also display published campaigns which share the same Primary Cause, for which the user has not signed up for.

Copy

Page titles and button labels are editable via Drupal variables, at admin/config/dosomething/dosomething_campaign.

Page access

Standard Campaign

On campaigns, the confirmation page is displayed after a user submits the reportback form. The user is only able to access the confirmation page if they have reported back for the campaign. A staff user is able to view the confirmation page at any time.

SMS Game

For SMS Games, the confirmation page is displayed after a user submits the Alpha/Beta Signup form. Because anonymous users can submit the form, anonymous users can access the confirmation page of a SMS Game.

States

A Campaign node (regardless of Campaign type) has two states:

Live

When a campaign node is live, users can signup and reportback. The campaigns display in the Finder.

Closed

When a campaign node is closed, users can no longer signup or reportback.

A closed campaign node is rendered in node--campaign--closed.tpl.php. The function dosomething_campaign_is_closed($node) determines when a campaign is closed and when to use this template.

The content of the closed state is stored in the campaign node's related closed Campaign Run node.

A closed campaign renders the same display for both anonymous and authenticated users, regardless of their signup/reportback activity for the campaign.
