There are two additional features in the Pro version of the Joomla 5 PayPal donation module OSDonate Pro:

  • Three additional layout styles
  • Custom colour picker for each layout.

In this tutorial, you will take a look at them.

The Three Additional Layout Designs

the three additional layouts

  • To access these Pro additional layout themes, in your Joomla 5 administrator dashboard, go to System > Manage > Site Modules:

the site modules link

  • You will see the "Modules: Site" screen, as shown in the next image. Either click the "New" button to create an OSDonate Pro module from scratch or open up an existing one for editing. For this tutorial, I will open up the existing module created by my OSDonate Pro installation, preceding it by clicking on the little cross icon to enable it:
