So I'm curious who else has this issue and whther or not anyones come up with a solution. In TNEW, we're given 2 contribution pages, but what happens when we have more than two things going on at a time? e.g. make a donation, join the Guild, purchase a ticket to the gala, etc. In other words, more than two contribution type events. Is it possible to have Tess build out an additional Contribute page?

Holton,
I don't believe it's possible at present to have an additional Contribute page built, unfortunately.
We currently use our contribute.aspx and contribute2.aspx as follows:
Contribute.aspx: Support Tulsa Ballet with a Membership Contribution or Donation
Contribute2.aspx: Support Tulsa Ballet with a specialized Donation
We get around confusion by directly linking people to the specific contribution page types instead of to contribute.aspx or contribute2.aspx. So, our membership pages on the website give direct links to Barre Society and Founders' Society membership purchases at our various levels. Our basic support pages for donations lead to the Annual Fund donation link. And our Integrated Campaign page links to the specific funds to that effort, while our gala fundraiser page links directly to each type of patron support that our constituents can purchase.
It's not the most elegant solution in the world--and we still run the risk of confusing our patrons if they end up on the raw contribute.aspx or contribute2.aspx--but it's worked well enough for the amount of online giving traffic we see so far.
Thank you,
Brian
We have had our precart page customized to enhance our current contribution page: you could hypothetically use precart customizations to create additional pages for these purposes, although it would have to be a full custom page, not just another contribution page.
However, I believe that v7 may solve this problem for you, so depending on your v7 adoption timeframe that may be a waste of time. Are you following the TNEW v7 Sprint Update Webinars?
