Offline Contributions tied to Personal Campaign Pages
December 10, 2010, 11:29:22 pm
Hi everyone,

I know there's a "make it happen" project for adding this to the UI, but how can I manually add offline contributions to personal campaign pages? I am able to connect donations to contribution pages by changing one field in the contribution mysql table - PCP seems more complex.

Thanks for any guidance,

Tobias

hey tobias:

check the table: civicrm_contribution_soft

u basically associate a contribution to the pcp page with a new record in that table

you might want to double check and make sure that this holds true for the exisiting online pcp donations

That works - thanks! :) Now to add the functionality so it works via the UI... I'd be willing to contribute to this - shouldn't be too hard.

Cheers,

Tobias

For future reference, the steps I take now for adding a contribution to someone's Personal Campaign Page are:

1) edit the contribution and add the name of the person who owns the PCP to the "soft credit" field - this creates a record in the contribution_soft table - note the contribution ID number which is in the URL for the contribution

2) using phpmyadmin, edit the record corresponding to the contribution ID in the contribution_soft table and edit the honor role and nickname fields. Set the pcp_id field to the number for the personal campaign page (which you can get from the URL for the PCP on the frontend)

Obviously it would be preferable to have these fields exposed in the "edit contribution" page and when browsing lists of contributions and taking action on them.

Cheers,

Tobias

The option to set a default personal campaign page for a contribution page would be useful - on Kabissa I can imagine that there will be one lead sponsor for a particular campaign that will justifiably get credit for it and want to monitor progress on his/her own page.

Another feature that seems to be missing is the means for people to manage the honor role on their own contribution page. They can always ask Kabissa but that makes this infrastructure not especially scalable.

Cheers,

Tobias
