CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I have been using the civicrm_contribution_get api to get information about a contribution but for some reason not all the fields in the table are available to me.

In particular I can't get the contribution_page_id (if it exists) to build a renew link. (setting return.contribution_page_id doesn't help)

Does this mean someone has made a decision to include some values & not others & this one didn't make the cut? Or is it random?

Hmm - I might not be able to get back to this unless the customer requires it.

The customer wanted to have the drupal user page to be changed so that 'member since' would show the date of the earliest civicrm membership not their Drupal account membership. While I was at it I added a date of when their membership would expire. I thought I would also add a renew now link but I hit this issue and a slightly bigger problem which is providing a renewal link for memberships initiated offline.

My feeling is that there is a case to add another field to the membership types for a default contribution page but I'm not sure what validation issues would crop up - perhaps it's no different to current where the contribution page might have been altered in the meantime.

Anyway, if the customer wants the renew link I'll look into both of these but otherwise I'm afraid this will be on the backburner rather than keeping me up in the wee hours.
