According to
https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/paypal-payments-standard/integration-guide/Appx_websitestandard_htmlvariables/
no_shipping has the following values:
0: prompt for an address, but do not require one
1: do not prompt for an address
2: prompt for an address, and require one
The default is 0.
Ideally, any time they change wantGift, even in a pure HTML form, we'd
change it between 0 and 2 as appropriate (i.e., we need the address if
they want the t-shirt).
However, I couldn't find an easy way to make this modification in pure
CSS or HTML, so it only happens in Javascript-enabled browsers.
This is still graceful degradation, since the only impact is in cases
where a non-Javascript user fails to give us an address, and we have to
email later to get the shipping address.
This required some doing. I'm not completely sure it works, but I
roughly followed the tutorial available at:
https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/get-started/create-recurring-donation-button
with back-reference to this:
https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/paypal-payments-standard/integration-guide/Appx_websitestandard_htmlvariables/
My main concern with this setup currently is that 'p3' must be set to
'1', which would seem from the documentation to be saying the payment
will recur only once. There is a subtle hint via the tutorial that
setting 'src' to 1 will override 'p3' with whatever is found in 'srt',
but that's not said anywhere explicitly that I can find. So, I'm going
with this and I'll just test it myself with a monthly subscription to
see if it's indefinite (which is the behavior we herein desire).
Finally, note that "amount" is now a class rather than id, since I'm now
using the associated jQuery .on('input') code for both the annual and
monthly amount boxes.
I suspect some supporters are just accepting the default, so by default,
the t-shirt option will be "No", and supporters will have to
affirmatively chose "Yes".
Thanks to previously committed Javascript hack, users with Javascript
capable browsers should avoid seeing the t-shirt sizing options until
they chose "Yes".
Use Javascript to hide the t-shirt size selector when the the user
selects "No" for "Do you want a t-shirt?". Reshow it (and make sure
it's shown by default) for "Yes".
This CSS, which I discovered from extensive research online, should work
to create a bulleted list with the bullets being the heart-shaped
Conservancy logo.
The default amount of $120 appears in the amount field, but the class
"valid" was usually only added when the user changes the amount.
The valid class must be added at the start to ensure someone simply
clicking with the default still can donate.
The donate-sidebar overlaps with text on small screens. This problem is
corrected herein by using @media for 500px screens to remove display of
the sidebar.
This addition to the Javascript and text ensures a clear message to the
user of a Javascript-enabled browser that there is an issue with the
amount. Also, it prevents submission of the form until the amount is
correct.
A user with Javascript disabled can circumvent these validation steps;
however, the worst-case scenario is that they make a donation for less
than $120 that is categorized in Conservancy's internal system as a
Supporter donation, and we'll be adding internal checks to find that.
<tony> bkuhn, karen: so, let's not bother using the logo-heart. The pic adds
enough visual interest. Now, what about the the text header. Do you
want it to be a smidgen smaller?
There are now two options at the bottom of the page, annual and monthly
supporters.
In addition, there is Javascript code to cause the annual and monthly
items disappear and reappear upon selection either in the donate box or
the selector above the items.
I tested this in links and it seems to degrade reasonably well.
Since PayPal cannot seem to be cajoled into verifying a minimum amount,
we have to do it here with Javascript. This isn't perfect validation:
the form can currently still be submitted with an amount less than $120,
but at least this way Javascript-enabled browsers might prevent some
folks from doing that.
