Hej,

according to the documentation an update of an existing contribution works just in the as adding a new contribution but with an additional id-field as a parameter:http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC32/Contribution+APIs#ContributionAPIs-civicrmcontributionadd%28%26%24params%29 A minimal example looks e.g. like this:


$params = array(
  'id' => 123,
  'trxn_id' => 12345,
  'invoice_id' => 'OCR12345'
);
$contribution =& civicrm_contribution_add($params);
print_r($contribution);
The returned array is quite empty and looks like
Array (
 [id] => 123
 [contact_id] =>
 [contribution_type_id] =>
 [contribution_page_id] =>
 [payment_instrument_id] =>
 [receive_date] =>
 [non_deductible_amount] =>
 [total_amount] =>
 [fee_amount] =>
 [net_amount] =>
 [trxn_id] => 12345
 [invoice_id] => OCR12345
 [currency] => SEK
 [cancel_date] =>
 [cancel_reason] =>
 [receipt_date] =>
 [thankyou_date] =>
 [source] =>
 [amount_level] =>
 [contribution_recur_id] =>
 [honor_contact_id] =>
 [is_test] =>
 [is_pay_later] =>
 [contribution_status_id] =>
 [honor_type_id] =>
 [address_id] =>
 [check_number] =>
)
If I look in the database, the civicrm_contribution-table seems to be updated properly. However, if I have a look at the contribution in civicrm via civicrm/contact/view/contribution?action=view&reset=1&id=123&cid=234&context=home the view is messed up. Firebug shows me that the table "<table class="crm-info-panel">" is actually ending up in the container "<div id="sidebar-right" class="sidebar">" instead of the correct place. In addition, I get an additional item in the list of the recent items with the title "- ( - )" and a link to civicrm/contact/view/contribution?action=view&reset=1&id=123&cid=&context=home, i.e. the contact id in this link is missing.

I also tried to query all the params of the contribution first, and than change the updated parameters and pass this array to the add function. In this case, the additional recent items element does not appear, however, the layout in the view of the contribution still messes up. Any ideas of what I do wrong?

This is happening because recently viewed link is getting messed up for the lack of parameters that you are providing in $params.
I 've fixed it for 3.3. You may have a look at the patch here .

Hope that helps!

Do I have to provide all parameters?

Nope just the id and all the fields that you wanna update

the issue with the messed up view of the contribution remains

You might wanna login/logout and new recently viewed block won't have those erroneous items.

Hej, it seems that the invoice_id-parameter causes the trouble. If I empty this field manually in the DB, the messed up layout recovers, if I set it back to some value the problem arises again. Is the invoice_id some internal parameter connected to another table and since this id is invalid, thing go wrong? So far, I didn't find any table referring to this id.

Mhh, I just updated from 3.2.5 to 3.3.1 and it seems the problem has gone.... So thanks for your help /Holger
