Admin > New Contribution > edit confirmation email
February 28, 2010, 10:34:52 am
Our front-end contribution pages are working great, however, I can't find where to edit the admin "New Contribution" confirmation message.
I've searched the database and file system with no luck.


Thanks for your support.
Please print this receipt for your records.

what version?

if 2.1.x (as your profile indicates), check:

http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Customizing+CiviCRM+Screens

else if 3.1, you can edit them in the message templates section of administer civicrm

Thank you for the reply.
Updated profile: Using Civi 3.0.3

But...changing the text of the admin "New Contribution" receipt message is not self-evident.
I've picket through every screen in admin.
I apologize if I'm asking a bone headed question.

in 3.0.x and earlier versions, you need to modify template files to change receipt text / format. In 3.1, you can do this via Administer >> Configure >> Message Templates.

The link above provides info on modifying template files.
The actual templates you'll need to look at are:

Offline contributions (done by your staff in the 'backend') : civicrm/templates/CRM/Contribute/Form/ReceiptMessageOffline.tpl
Online contributions (from one of your online contribution pages, if you're using that): civicrm/templates/CRM/Contribute/Form/Contribution/ReceiptMessage.tpl

I am trying to send a confirmation email to volunteers (custom profile) who have signed up. I see there is a response page that prints their info but we want to send an email to them as well.

Here is the volunteer page:
http://www.autism-alabama.org/get-involved/volunteer.html

It is setup in joomla through the menu system and linked to that custom profile.

I've looked in the "Administer CiviCRM" > "Headers, Footers, and Automation" but can't find where I can explicitly assign the confirmation messages.

Does the upgrade to 3.0 handle this?

Thanks in advance!

no, this is not part of 3.2 or prior

the best way to do this is by implementing the postProcess hook and sending the email with the contents of the form submitted email. Check:
