You can tweak elements of most Portal pages by using queries. You can add a query at the end of your URLs to configure how the page and content will be displayed.

Usually, this is accomplished in your Portal Skin or using a Message Snippet when communicating via email.

You can find the values for all of the filter options by looking in MinistryPlatform. For example, you can copy the Congregation ID# found in MinistryPlatform under Church Structure > Congregation.

Using Multiple Filters

The whole query string starts with "?" and follows aspx in the page's file-name. All following settings are separated with "&" symbols. A common mistake is to introduce an extra "?" symbol after the initial one.

Working with Filters

Some pages support a special query for filtering the values or selecting defaults that are present on that page. The available options are specific to the page and determine how the content is displayed. This type of query looks like this (filter=):

https://my.example.com/portal/online_giving.aspx?template=giving&filter=campus:1

Using Multiple Filters

You can use multiple queries together. Each query name/value pair needs to be separated with the "|" pipe character. For example, you can use a campus and purpose to create links directly to a specific online giving item:

https://my.example.com/portal/online_giving.aspx?template=giving&filter=campus:1|purpose:289|amount:100
