Renewal form - only shows up as new membership

[sstern]

I've created a Renewal/Signup form but it always shows up as a new membership.  For example, this is a link for a current member:

http://members.slneighbors.org/?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/contribute/transact&reset=1&id=2&cs=8f1cd3b48f77cd2622180dd5133e6003_1380205585_168

The template uses:

http://members.slneighbors.org/?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/contribute/transact&reset=1&id=2&{contact.checksum}

If you go to the page, you'll see it's for a new membership despite the contact's current membership.  What should I be looking at to figure this out? This is the last thing I need to get done before taking the site live!

can u use this link:

http://members.slneighbors.org/?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/contribute/transact&reset=1&id=2&cid={contact.id}&{contact.checksum}

[sstern]

When I use that, the contact ID does not translate....

That is
http://members.slneighbors.org/?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/contribute/transact&reset=1&id=2&cid={contact.id}&{contact.checksum}

Gets
http://members.slneighbors.org/?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/contribute/transact&reset=1&id=2&cid=&cs=REAL_CS_NUMBER

Using Insert Token, I corrected that to
http://members.slneighbors.org/?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/contribute/transact&reset=1&id=2&cid={contact.contact_id}&{contact.checksum}

resulting in
http://members.slneighbors.org/?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/contribute/transact&reset=1&id=2&cid=1017&cs=ANOTHER_CS_NUMBER

BUT IT STILL SHOWS UP AS A NEW MEMBERSHIP, not a renewing one.

ok, the second link is the right one Thanx for experimenting and getting it right. i've modified the forum post to eliminate the real CS numbers so folks dont change your personal info

u might want to double check and confirm that you do have an existing membership that is current

This may have changed between 4.2 and 4.3.

In 4.2 the URL template that you want to follow is:

http://www.myorganization.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=*N*&{contact.checksum}&cid={contact.contact_id}

Replace *N* with your Contribution Page ID.

EDIT:
I checked the wiki for 4.3 and this is the same url template described under the checksum tokens section at this page: http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Tokens

Hey Steve,

Reviewed the original URL you posted. The problem is you're asking for the CS and not the CID. In the later URLs the order between Contact ID and CS is switched.

Your URL should be as follows:

http://members.slneighbors.org/?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=2&{contact.checksum}&cid={contact.contact_id}

Takes me to the "new membership" version of the profile, not the renewal.  Is there something I need to add specific to the membership?

I got the Renewal page when I want to that link. See attached.

Thanks. It was a browser cache problem!
