Is it possible to use multiple html content tags in a single template?

I'd like to use two or three of these: <!-- TemplateBeginEditable name="content" --> <!-- TemplateEndEditable -->

Is it possible to use server includes in a salsa template? I'd like to do something like this, but it won't work:

<!--#include file="images/emailboxsignup.txt" -->

Is there an easy method to query supporters in a particular group who have taken more than "x" number of actions over a specific time period?  I didn't seem to find anything in the report builder (at least anything obvious).

Anybody else getting booted off the site when they try to search for supporters via anything other than email address?

Is there a way to query if members are part of households and then update them?  I am dreading having to go into several thousand individual records to check and update this.

Are there other ways to search for organizations? I find the fields returned from  the "Supporter management" "search for supporters" insufficient to identify the record I am looking for or if it is in the database at all.

What is a "private donation"? When I click on that link when editing a supporter's donations it does not show entries I have made manually to log donations made through sources other than DIA. This fact makes me fearful that I have been entering these non-DIA-processed donations wrong. I've been clicking on Add a Donation and choosing Other.

questions:

1. Is there a better way I should be entering donations received, for example, by check, or via Network For Good (the only option on Facebook and on Guidestar)?

2. What is a Private Donation?  A search on Salsa Commons for "private donation" turns up nothing useful.

3. How do I get a report showing the total of all a supporter's donations, not just the ones they pay through DIA? (I remember reading somewhere that only donations actually made by credit card through DIA are included in the supporter's total ... do I remember that correctly?)

I have read the Salsa Scoop post about reporting email statistics by Group. (see http://salsacommons.org/o/8001/p/salsa/web/blog/public/entries?blog_entry_KEY=1567). But the "subsets of data" box does not exist when I go into Salsa. I am staring at the email summary page for a recent blast. The Scoop post says "Just select any Salsa group from the picklist at the very top of the page" but when we click on the Details link at the far right of a row in the "summary reports" page, we get the very same page as we get when clicking "Report" from the eblast list. And the items available at the very top of the page are, left to right, email statistics, unsubscribes, and domain breakdown. No "subsets of data" box anywhere on the page.

How can I determine the page conversion for a petition?

I can see the number of actions taken but not the total number of page views.

Silly question, but is there a way to add an "opt-in to receive emails" check box to the donation pages? I know there's a way to auto-add them to a group, but we normally provide our donors with the option to be added to our email lists. How do other organizations work around this?

I have to create a bunch of different events, but do not want to have to create separate autoresponse emails for each event. How do I insert custom merge fields into an autoresponse email?

I've tried adding something like:

<input type="hidden" value="my location of event" name="event_location" /> <input type="hidden" value="my date and event times" name="my_date_time"/>

to the source of the event page I have created,but it does not seem to work. Any suggestions?

We recently ran a campaign that reached out to people who are not traditionally our supporters. The result is a large pool of people that do not fit in our traditional blast groups. I would like to make our newsletter, action alerts, etc available to them. Is there a a way to embed a link in an email that allows them to sign up for these groups in one click? Kind of like an unsubscribe button but a subscribe button instead. Sorry if this is an obvious one, the guy who normally does this stuff is on paternity leave.
