I would like to know where in the code that civicontribute is actually inserting an approved donation. I would like to add an extra SQL statement right after this with a few more pieces of information, to a different database. Can someone point me in the right direction.

Edit: I suppose I could make a new module, but I have not done that yet. I am going to research that.

You'll want to use a hook to do this.

Alright I made a hook and installed it.

I just want to make sure that I have the basic structure of what I should be doing down.

function add_votes_after_contribution_civicrm_post($op, $objectName, $objectId, &$objectRef) {

//This function will allow me to capture and manipulate data after a contribution has been made

}

I should start this function with
if $objectName != "contribution" then continue with the process

The data I want is &$objectref, this should hold all of the information from the form such as donation amount, name, address, etc...

Thanks

Well I am super lost, but I will keep going at it. If anyone wants to help out and show me some code I can work with I would greatly appreciate it. This is what I am trying to do.

1. ) Accept contribution
2. ) Capture the following

Contribution amount
Custom Field called custom1
Custom Field called custom2
User ID

3.) Insert that data into another database.

Once I have the 4 pieces of data I can get it into the database no problem, but I am very unfamiliar with getting information from hooks.

From my reading around this is what I have made so far.
function add_votes_after_contribution_civicrm_post($op, $objectName, $objectId, &$objectRef) {

if ($objectName == 'Contribution' && $op == 'create')
{
$get_params = array('entityID' => $objectRef['user_id'], $custom_fields['custom1'] => 1, $custom_fields['custom2'] => 1);
require_once 'CRM/Core/BAO/CustomValueTable.php';
$values = CRM_Core_BAO_CustomValueTable::getValues($get_params);
$cust1 = $values[$custom_fields['custom1']];
$cust2 = $values[$custom_fields['custom2']];

}
}

Thanks,

Damian

based on what u need to capture, i suspect you are better off using the postProcess hook rather than the post hook. this will give you the custom field values also

you can look at drupal/civitest.module.sample for sample implementations of that hook

if you need more help, might be faster and easier to hire someone from http://civicrm.org/professional/
