# Supporters

Show partners, sponsors or grants from a table on your website. The section reads your current Data rows when the site is prepared; adding it changes only the draft.

## Use it when

Kinds starts with partner and sponsor. Enter the kinds separated by commas, choose their column and set the public name, logo and link columns. Amount and note are off by default. The section shows up to 48 rows, ordered by Order then Name.

## Use something else when

For grants, choose kind grant, map Price to Amount and Text to Note, and sort Year descending then Order ascending in the website settings. This preserves grant amounts and notes; changing only the kind does not enable those public columns.

## How to add it

Open **My Sites**, then open your site in the editor.

1. Under the site's sidebar, press **Add item**.
2. Press **Add to site**.
3. Choose **Supporters**. Search finds it faster.
4. Under **Table**, choose **New table** and its name, or **Use existing table** and the authoritative table you already keep. Choose **New table type** only for a new table.
5. Check the public columns and row conditions. For different column IDs, enter your table's own IDs rather than the suggested defaults. Optional columns can be empty.
6. Press **Review changes** and check the actual changes.
7. Press **Apply**.

A row for the table appears in this site's sidebar. The table keeps its records and its own record window; no separate app sidebar entry is added for site content. A calendar-view table can also be worked from your business's Calendar.

## How to put it on a page

1. Open the table in the site's sidebar, then its line under **On the website**.
2. Check **Shows only**, **Order**, **How many** and **Public columns**. Save changed settings. Removing a condition widens the rows shown: review privacy before doing that.
3. Press **Put on a page**, choose a page, then press **Put it here**. This explicitly writes the selected section markup into that draft page.
4. Preview the result. Press **Publish** only when you want the draft to go live.

After placement, **Fields** can map each placeholder to another readable column without rebuilding the page. Adding or removing a displayed part needs **Put on a page** again; review that replacement if your page has custom markup. Saving conditions changes which rows the existing markup reads without changing its appearance. Multiple placements of the same table live inside its website settings, not as extra CMS table rows.

## What it adds or changes

## Example

A charity thanks sponsors with logos, and separately lists grants with year, amount and an approved acknowledgement note.

## If something isn't working

- **A column is missing.** Choose a readable column of the selected table; an incompatible mapping is refused without changing your draft.
- **No rows appear.** Check the conditions, dates, count and the row values, then prepare/preview the site again. An empty section shows its normal no-content message.
- **A dated section needs a time zone.** Set the business's time zone in Business profile. Date-only rows are never interpreted in the server's time zone.
- **The draft changed while saving.** Reload and review the latest settings. Your live site is unchanged until publication.

## Limits

A contribution amount is displayed as stored, in its own currency; it is not a donation checkout. No payment or acknowledgement email is sent.

Changing a supplied type never rewrites an existing site's custom page. Older sections already installed keep working; adopting the general section is a separate reviewed draft configuration/source change that keeps the existing table and use identity. Removing a placement does not delete its table or records. Nothing sends, spends or publishes automatically.
