CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Let's say we have a membership contact page like this one:
http://drupal.demo.civicrm.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=2

We need it to process CC, as well answer some profile fields, and create a new contact with a new membership.  This particluar Contribution Page, should ALWAYS create a new contact, with a new membership.   Regardless of who is looking at the page, what their role is, and most importantly whether they are logged in or not.  This page will NOT process renewals.  It is simply for data entry and CC payment page and for creation of new memberships and contacts.

The default CiviCRM behavior when processing a membership through a contribution page is to attribute the contribution/membership to the contact record associated with the person logged in.  We want to eliminate this behavior and force a new contact to be created each time.

I thought originally that a Profile would be a good idea, but Profiles don't process credit cards, right?  Any ideas of what to hook or hack?  Thanks.

thanks lobo that worked

CRM/Event/Form/Registration.php

            $contactID = $session->get( 'userID' );

you will learn a lot more if you take the time and energy to read and investigate the code base. Some good starting points:

hi,
ive commented out all bits of code that says $contactID = $session->get( 'userID' ); in the events file registration.php around line 574 but it is still overwriting the contact.

any ideas???
