Hi,

I want to use some custom fields set at the pledge level to calculate some custom fields at the contribution level when the money is receipted (commission in this case). Contributions May be receipted by recurring paypal IPN transactions

Lobo suggested I use hook civicrm_post on the contribute object. The problem I found is that the pledge id relating to the contribution is not passed to the hook and the record in civicrm_pledge_payment has not yet been created to query.

I tried to look at whether I could set the pledge payment object to call the hook but the routine which would need to call it is a static routine and doesn't hold an object to pass out to the hook (updatepledgepaymentstatus).

Would it be reasonable to add a new updatepledgepaymentstatus hook or what other approach makes sense here?

Oh - I hadn't fully tested but I assumed that because you could set up a contribution page with pledges & recurring paypal contributions you would get recurring credit card contributions
