Actually I get
Code: [Select]
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/humanmil/public_html/drupal/sites/all/modules/membershipRenewal/membershipRenewal.module on line 19
Nevermind...

So, there are 2 date variables in the CRM_Contribute_Form_Contribution_Main Object - 'start_date' and 'created_date'. I can modify the variables, but the membership still starts from the current date. Is it possible that somewhere it uses now() (or similar) to get the start date?

I think you'll have to follow the flow in the code to see how this happens:

CRM/Contribute/Form/Contribution/Confirm.php line 513 (in v3.2) which calls
CRM_Member_BAO_Membership::postProcessMembership which uses
CRM_Member_BAO_Membership::renewMembership to handle renewal logic

... given that there are several layers of function calls involved, I'm not sure how or even if you can use the postProcess hook to do what you want ?? Lobo or others might have a better idea on that.

the postProcess hook is called AFTER civicrm has done its work, so at that point its a bit too late :(

u'll have to go in and fix the DB records in your hook implementation

Hmmm, I did see an article about when each hook is called, but can't seem to find it now.

The wierd thing is that I can dump the variable and see it changed, but it makes no difference when it creates the membership...

I am trying with a pre hook, to see if I can get any love there. So far the same - the variable changes, but the start date remains the same...

The 'post' hook is called after a DB insert. So trapping insert of membership record and then modifying it might be the way to go (not tried it - but if the hook fires when the new membership record is inserted - you should be able to use the api to modify it).
