Creating New Form in CiviCRM
September 27, 2010, 02:45:16 am
I have created a module that adds the ability to handle chapter memberships to CiviCRM. I have gotten to the point that a new member signing up can also join one or more chapters during the process and all of the pricing gets handled correctly and actual memberships are created.

I am stuck at the point of allowing existing members to join a chapter. I need a new form that isn't derived from any of the existing forms, so I don't think I can use the buildForm hook to create it. Is it possible to create a new form from scratch without hooking into any of the existing forms? Am I being myopic and missing a better way of handling this?

Thanks for your insight,
Quint

u'll need to do two things:

1. write a form class to implement the form

2. implement the xmlMenu hook to direct a url towards the above form

check:

http://svn.civicrm.org/sfschool/branches/v3.2/SFS/Form/
http://svn.civicrm.org/sfschool/branches/v3.2/SFS/xml/Menu/sfschool.xml

civicrm/sfschool/conference

is a good example :)

Hey Lobo,

That is exactly what I needed to get going. Those examples are perfect!
