Multiple Selection of contribution amounts
December 01, 2009, 01:46:27 pm
Is it possible to modify the contribution forms to allow for multi-selecting contribution amounts?

For example allowing someone to place a single order for two different contribution levels?

"Price Set" support for online contribution pages is part of the upcoming 3.1 release. I think this functionality will give you what you want - but you should give it a test-drive on the 3.1 sandbox:

http://sandbox.civicrm.org

First, create a Price Set and several Price Set fields. Then link it to a Contribution Page (from the Configure >> Contribution Amounts screen).

Okay, I guess I need to know some answers for a production site.

I have a fundraising event it involves a banquet with an ad journal.  There are multiple donation options.

14 ad levels lowest 4 do not include a pair of tickets to banquet
Additionally, there are reservations for $75.00 single, 150 couple.

How would you go about setting it up?

Currently I'm using Civicrm 3.0.2 Stable Release

Hmm - not sure if you could get exactly that functionality with Event Price set feature. Somewhat depends on what all the "rules" are. Does someone buying a "low" ad level ALSO need to purchase at least 1 ticket?

You could play with creating a Price Set with Price Set field - type = radio button, with an option for each of your Ad levels (and corresponding price).

Then add a second "text input" field for the separately purchased tickets. Price= $75. You'd need to indicate with help fields on the screen that folks buying top 10 ad levels don't need to buy single tickets (unless they want more than 2). Not sure you need the couple option, since it's basically just 2 singles - and folks could put in 1, 2 or more in the "Tickets" field (which would get multiplied by $75).

This isn't perfect because you could wind up w/ folks buying tickets when they didn't have to (not reading instructions) OR buying an add that doesn't give them any tickets (maybe that's ok). You could potentially add some custom javascript functions to the template to remediate this.

I agree with your assessment.

The scenarios are as follows

1. High Level Journal Ad (With Included Tickets)
2. Low Level Journal Ad - No Ticket(s)
3. Low Level Journal Ad -With Ticket(s)
4. Tickets Only

So I think If I do the following

Price Sets for Journal Ads
Text/Integer Input for Tickets
and Make them both optional

1 more thing, since this is in sandbox/beta mode, how hard will it be to make this work on a production site?

First, both the Ad options AND the Ticket (text input) will be price set fields in a price set (2 fields, 1 type = radio, 1 type = text).

Don't understand your other question?? (sandbox / beta )?

Which version of CivicCRM can I do this with on a live production site?

I have created a price set in the sandbox called Ad Journal - Banquet.  It looks great!  Check it out to see if that's the best integration method? My question is, is the CivicCRM 3.1 Beta for Joomla good enough to put on a live site.

If you're going live prior to 3.1 stable release (scheduled for end of December) - I would use the latest stable release (3.0.3 currently). The price set features you're using are available in 3.0.3.

Where can I find the price set setup in 3.0.3?

Sorry, got into thinking you were setting this up as an EVENT (which it seems like you could). Try that out on 3.0.x (using Adminster >> CiviEvent >> Price Sets to create them). If you don't like it as an event, you'll need to use 3.1. Not sure of your timing, but I would not recommend using 3.1 in production until it goes stable.
