CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Have you tried adding the profile to your contribution page? I think that the 'civicontribute' shows on a profile once it has been used in a contribution page, rather than the other way round - hope i am not way off track with that.

Currently the only 'out of the box' solution for contributions or membership signup 'on behalf of' an Organization is the 'hard-coded' default organization form that's injected when you select 'on behalf of ...'. There's an item on the roadmap to convert this hard-coded set of fields into a profile - but it's not currently scheduled. Would be great if you /your organization would step up and work on it or sponsor the work.

Other than that, you cannot use an organization profile in a contribution page as you've noted - since those profiles are to collect additional info 'about' the person filling out the form and / or about the contribution itself.

Jake - You can start tracing the current code path from CRM/Contribute/Form/Contribution/Main.php ... In that file:

- buildOnBehalfOrganization() calls the BAO which handles that piece
- buildCustom in ContributionBase.php injects the pre and post Profiles into the online contribution form

I think one of the 'tricky' parts is differentiating the On Behalf profile fields from the existing profile fields so that postProcess knows which data is for the Individual contact "making the contribution" (a person) vs. for the Organization (on behalf of ).

Best to get help on IRC as you dig in to this.

You should be developing the code against trunk checkout from svn, and then once you have something that works you can create an issue in the issue tracker and attach a patch file.

Haven't heard of any progress on this. If you have decent PHP skills you might be able to use hooks to customize the form w/o hacking core code. Check out the Extending CiviCRM section in the online book: http://en.flossmanuals.net/civicrm
