Hi all,
Some of our "funds" are considered ‘recurring’ and need to be re-posted to the site once their goal amounts are completed (for example, "send a kid to a camp"). These "funds" are contribution pages which, once their goal amount is reached, need to start over again.

1. Is it possible to re-post the Project by resetting amount collected back to $0?
2. I have created private pages where the user can see where he/she has contributed, kind of a customized dashboard. It pulls info directly from CiviCRM database and it works great, but... How will this "re-setting contribution pages" affect the display of a Completed contribution on this user’s page?. For example, if a user contributes to one of these 'recurring' funds, will he/she be able to see a completed fund even though it has been re-set? How can that be achieved (if reseting contribution pages is possible)?

Thank you,
Alex.

the amount collected is not stored in a table (and hence cannot be reset). its basically the sum of all the contributions associated with that contribution page

That's right--  I must assume then that this is an impossible task?

Any specific reason why you dont "copy" the contribution page and use the new contribution page whenever a goal amount is reached?

Well, these contribution pages that I'm talkgin about have an average goal amount of $ 50 and everyday one of them is fully funded, maybe more. In terms of administration/maintenance, the client needs to get rid of this tedious contribution-copying process.

I begin to think this is a very difficult thing to obtain. But if anyone comes up with a proposal, or even an insight to get started, that would be great.
On the other hand, I also think this feature might be very useful for others, too.
