Greetings:

Civi 3.3.1 on current Drupal

We would like to customize a few things on contribution pages:

1) To be able to bold and or italic some text within the "Contribution Label" text. Is there some Civi BB code language that such fields accept / interpret? When trying HTML tags, they get translated into literal string values which get displayed at run-time.

2) We would like to set the "recurring contribution" radio button as the default button.

Suggestions as to how to accomplish these tweaks? Thank you!!!

Thank you Lobo.

I am looking over the sample Drupal code as well as the docs here:
http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC33/CiviCRM+hook+specification#CiviCRMhookspecification-hookcivicrmbuildForm

Where would I look up the correct string/name of the form from our site for this value? Ex:
$formName == 'CRM_Contribute_Form_Contribution_Main'

And where would I find out the field name associated with the radio button "I want to contribute this amount every..."?

On a coding style topic... would it be correct for this hook_civicrm_buildForm API to test for "condition A" leaving the possability to add "condition B", "condition C", etc... in the future? I do not think the sample civitest.module.sample would actually run with multiple "function civitest_civicrm_buildForm()" lines in it. So I am thinking ahead to prepare for the next time we need to hook this hook_civicrm_buildForm API. Would that be the correct way to code while keeping "next time" in mind?

You might also want to read:

This information should be there (if not, we should add it!)

yeah, civitest.module.sample will not compile A better example that uses a fair number of hooks is:

http://svn.civicrm.org/sfschool/branches/v3.2/drupal/sfschool/sfschool.module

try using

  $defaults['RADIO_BUTTON_ELEMENT_NAME'] = 1;
  $form->setDefaults( $defaults );

So in this case:

http://drupal.demo.civicrm.org/civicrm/event/register?reset=1&id=1

should be: $defaults['CIVICRM_QFID_561_6'] = 1

main issue is radio button ids are non deterministic (i think). could not find an easy workaroud for this

lobo

Lobo, could you possibly clarify what you meant here?

Does your comment about "non deterministic" mean that you suspect the radio button list really can not be pre-selected, or did you mean only that the name of the field might chance, so beware?

Time to dig in again after Christmas! 

I do not wish to set up a full dev environment / install the suggested PHP debugger if in your opinion setting the correct default radio button is probably impossible. Thank you!

@hershel: Oh cool! Please explain further!!! 

Perhaps a code snippet. I have never coded using jquery, just have heard of its existence.

hhhmmm... I tried to modify my module thusly:

function civicrm_cir_civicrm_buildForm( $formName, &$form ) {

    // Pre-set the forms to recurring
    if ( $formName == 'CRM_Contribute_Form_Contribution_Main' ) {
        // Set the radio button for recurring contribution
        $(function() {
          $('#CIVICRM_QFID_1_16').attr('checked', true);
        });
    }

}
Which results in:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '(', expecting T_VARIABLE or '$' in /srv/www/sites/domain.org/www/sites/all/modules/civicrm_cir/civicrm_cir.module on line 11

So off in search of how to code jQuery in PHP within a Drupal mod.

Note: LOC 11 is the "$(function() {" line.

All right, then if I toss it in say the Drupal theme JS file, then how would I only have if affect (currently) these four pages?

   // Pre-set the forms to recurring
    if ( ( $formName == 'CRM_Contribute_Form_Contribution_Main' ) && (
         $form->getVar( '_id' ) == 1 ||     // Yearly PP
         $form->getVar( '_id' ) == 8 ||     // Monthly CC
         $form->getVar( '_id' ) == 9 ||     // Monthly PP
         $form->getVar( '_id' ) == 10 ) ) { // Yearly CC
I would think that having that code in the theme JS file... would try to execute on EVERY page for the entire site, no?
