I am already using PayPal Standard to handle recurring donations on my website. It is working fine. Yet I would like to restrict the time periods that a person can choose from when doing recurring donations. Right now the end-user can choose "days(s), week(s), month(s), year(s)". I would like to restrict them to just months. Is there a PHP or HTML file I can edit to make this happen? Or a global or page setting?

I am using CiviCRM 1.8 with Joomla 1.0.13.

Thanks,
Sarah

No such setting as of now, but you can do the following change:

In file :

Quote

civicrm/CRM/Contribute/Form/Contribution/Main.php

replace

Quote

$units = array( 0 => ts( ' -period-' ),
'day' => ts( 'day(s)' ),
'week' => ts( 'week(s)' ),
'month' => ts( 'month(s)'),
'year' => ts( 'year(s)' ) );

with:

Quote

$units = array( 0 => ts( ' -period-' ),
'month' => ts( 'month(s)') );

Thanks! Worked perfectly.

Any chance this could be a Contribution page/global setting setting in a future version of CiviCRM?

I think either making this configurable, or just restricting the options a bit probably makes sense. I've posted a tentative issue to re-visit this for 2.1: http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-2305

I would be interested in hearing from others who use this feature.
