A Processed Contribution, if I changed its source, what would happen?
November 23, 2009, 04:05:23 pm
I have a contribution that has been processed.  The donor, by accident, donated through the incorrect contribution page.  The donation was processed, but the intended source is now incorrect.

The staff cannot edit the contribution to change the source on this page:
/civicrm/contact/view/contribution?reset=1&action=update&id=69&cid=4469&context=dashboard

I could change the source by directly editing the row in MySQL.

Would this have any adverse effects?

I don't think that would cause a problem (changing contribution_page_id in civicrm_contribution table). If you use different contribution types for the different contrib pages, you may need to change that column as well.

We have this same situation (on ver. 3.2) We want to track donations using a goal / widget but an email sent the wrong campaign page.  Since the widget is tied a campaign page, we need to change the source page.  Editing a contribution does not let you change the page so i plan to go into the DB and change the civicrm_contribution table, columns: contribution_page_id and source to match the new page.

1) Dave - any anticipated consequences in this release (ie. reports, cache, etc.)
2) Stoob -  is this what you did?

Thanks!

This should be fine (we've done it a few times ourselves to get offline contributions to show up on Make it Happen Widgets). I'm hoping to grab a few clicks this week to allow the contribution page to be edited / set on the Edit Contribution screen for an upcoming release. FYI - the widgets rely solely on the contribution_page_id value - the 'source' is for internal display only.

This what I did, and it worked.  No negative outcomes.

The ability to set or change the associated Online Contribution via user interface will be available in the upcoming 3.3.2 release:
http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-7290

You can select Online Contribution Page from a drop-down when creating or editing a contribution record (from the "Additional Information" pane). Also the associated contribution page will be displayed when viewing a contribution record.
