Author Topic: Providing default values in recurring payment form (Read 3738 times)

SarahG (FountainTribe) · November 17, 2007, 02:49:20 pm

I have a contribution page that is configured to use PayPal Standard, which is configured to allow recurring payments. I would like to default the text input field to "1" for the frequency of the payments. I would also like to default the number of installments to "12". The reason for this is the vast majority of the people filling out this form want to pay once a month for 12 months.

Which file should I edit to accomplish this?

Thanks,
Sarah

line 126 or so. (in function setDefaultValues)

Thanks! I got it working the way I want.

I'm trying to do this exact same thing, but haven't been able to figure it out yet.

I've been trying to set the default via:
$this->_defaults['frequency_unit'] = 'month';

That seems to have zero effect. Can someone who's figured this out point me in the right direction?
(CiviCRM 2.0.4)

Thanks!

i was doing some contribution stuff so checked this out, and it worked for me. Here are the 2 lines i added

Code: [Select]

        $this->_defaults['frequency_unit'] = 'monthly';
        $this->_defaults['frequency_interval'] = 3;

1. ensure that it is at the top level of the function (i.e. not surronded by any conditional)
2. clear your session (sesssionReset=2) after you make the code fixes, this helps clear up any old state etc

Thanks Lobo, I should have cleared the session!

In case anyone else is looking to do this:

Code: [Select]

$this->_defaults['frequency_unit'] = 'monthly';has to be:

Code: [Select]

$this->_defaults['frequency_unit'] = 'month';
On the version of CiviCRM I'm running (2.0.4). I assume it's changed since then if monthly worked for Lobo. In 2.0.4 a good place to add those lines is after line 135 in CRM/Contribute/Form/Contribution/Main.php

Thanks again,
Brian

Where would this be in version 2.2.0? I cant figure out where I would put the defaults in. Here's what I have in function setDefaultValues:

Code: [Select]

function setDefaultValues( ) 
    {
        // process defaults only once
        if ( ! empty( $this->_defaults ) ) {
            // return $this->_defaults;
        }

I would like to default at monthly intervals and unlimited months.
Thanks,

your best bet would be to set the defaults of those form values by implementing the buildForm hook

for an example check here:

Should something as simple as this work?

Code: [Select]

function mymodule_civicrm_buildform( $formName, &$form ) {

    if ( $formName == 'CRM_Contribute_Form_Contribution_Main' ) {
        $defaults['frequency_unit'] = 'month';
        $defaults['frequency_interval'] = '1';
        $form->setDefaults( $defaults );
    }
}

I'm not seeing any value set in the frequency interval box on my form.

are you seeing the unit being set properly.

browser behavior is a bit strange sometimes for select/radio boxes. can you logout and log back in (which resets the session) and try again

thanx

Logging out and back in doesn't appear to change anything. I've tried other browsers, too.

I've done a drush cc all since I created and installed the module.

If I leave the interval field blank, I get the error message "Please correct the following errors in the form fields below:
Please enter a number for how often you want to make this recurring contribution (EXAMPLE: Every 3 months)." ... so it looks like the value's not getting set behind the scenes.

There's nothing related in drupal's log.

Code: [Select]

function mymodule_civicrm_buildform( $formName, &$form ) {

    if ( $formName == 'CRM_Contribute_Form_Contribution_Main' ) {
        $defaults['frequency_unit'] = 'month';
        $defaults['frequency_interval'] = '3';
        $form->setDefaults( $defaults );
    }
}

The above piece of code seems to be doing right thing for me i,e I want to contribute this amount every 3 months

Can you try to clear all caches, templates_c etc

Just to be clear, I began with only the unit, not the interval, enabled on the page itself.

I've made sure to do /civicrm/clearcache and drush cc all, and clear my browsers' caches, and still neither of my defaults show up.

It's not a big problem for the moment to leave the form as a simple monthly recurring, but it seems like my first little hook isn't loading, though its module is enabled, and I'd sure like to know what I've flubbed.
