CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I may be missing something so I thought I would post and see.

I want to allow people who have already registered for an event to come back later and register other people, or to register people without registering themselves in the first place.  Most importantly I want the people doing the registering to get the credit for the contribution tied to the registration regardless of whether or not they register themselves for the event.

From the looks of it (and from what I can tell in the code) the first person you register get a contribution record for the registration as opposed to the person logged in.  Am I missing something?

This is something I could deal with in a hook_civicrm_pre hook if I could pass a variable (maybe via the url in on line 1237 of CRM_Event_Form_Registration_Register). I could then intercept the registration in the hook (maybe in hook_civicrm_postProcess) and point the contribution to the desired contact.


BTW version 3.3.5

Rajan is certainly correct - and there's a link to the cid=0 version of the registration form at the top of every event reg page (Welcome [name]. (Not [name], or want to register a different person?)

However, I think jalama's other question is really interesting and there are three important points here...

1) Is there any way to tie the contribution record to the person doing the registering, rather than the person being registered? I think this will also apply for the receipt / invoice (for pay later). If you're registering someone else, you probably want the receipt / invoice to go to you rather than the person you're registering.

2) The person actually attending probably doesn't need to receive payment information or pay later instructions, just the event details - so perhaps we need to fire two different emails here?

3) If you are registering multiple people, then the email [EDIT - by this I mean the email with payment information; all attendees receive emails with event information] only goes to the first one - which is especially problematic if you are registering on behalf of people NOT including yourself. Should *all* attendees not receive an email, plus the person doing the registering? EDIT: Shouldn't the person doing the registering get the payment info email, while the attendees get the event information?


I hope someone can clarify this - it seems pretty important to me, too.

Thanks,

okay these two hooks in a module files does the trick

btw this is Drupal 6 and civicrm 3.3.5

function MODULENAME_civicrm_pre (  $op, $objectName, $objectId, &$objectRef ) {
  if ($objectName == 'Contribution') {
    $controller = new CRM_Event_Controller_Registration();
    $newContactId = $controller->get("_firstId");
    if ( $newContactId ){
      $objectRef['contact_id'] = $newContactId;
    }
  }
}


function MODULENAME_civicrm_postProcess ($formName, &$form) {
  //Intercept sign-up based on the fact that the url is id > 0and cid == 0
  if ($formName == 'CRM_Event_Form_Registration_Register') {
    $id = CRM_Utils_Request::retrieve( 'id' , 'Positive', $form, false  );
    $cid = CRM_Utils_Request::retrieve( 'cid' , 'Positive', $form, false  );
    if ($id > 0 and $cid == 0) {
      Global $user;
      $contactId = CRM_Core_BAO_UFMatch::getContactId($user->uid);
      $form->controller->set("_firstId", $contactId);
    }
  }
}


RJB,

I haven't yet confirmed that User B gets the confirmation e-mail but yes User A would get credit for the complete contribution if they sign up multiple people.  At this point Users B, C, D, etc... should all get confirmation e-mails also

Hey No problem,
I even have one tweak for you   I left something out that prevent the hook_civicrm_pre form firing when you are doing other things  (like editing and deleting) the participant records

function MODULENAME_civicrm_pre (  $op, $objectName, $objectId, &$objectRef ) {
  if ($objectName == 'Contribution' && class_exists('CRM_Event_Controller_Registration')) {
    $controller = new CRM_Event_Controller_Registration();
    $newContactId = $controller->get("_firstId");
    //Credit logged in user with contribution while singing up other people
    if ( $newContactId ){
      $objectRef['contact_id'] = $newContactId;
    }
  }
}


function MODULENAME_civicrm_postProcess ($formName, &$form) {
  //Intercept sign-up based on the fact that the url is id > 0and cid == 0
  if ($formName == 'CRM_Event_Form_Registration_Register') {
    $id = CRM_Utils_Request::retrieve( 'id' , 'Positive', $form, false  );
    $cid = CRM_Utils_Request::retrieve( 'cid' , 'Positive', $form, false  );
    if ($id > 0 and $cid == 0) {
      Global $user;
      $contactId = CRM_Core_BAO_UFMatch::getContactId($user->uid);
      $form->controller->set("_firstId", $contactId);
    }
  }
}

well to be fair we're also still testing it   But yes I think it's covering everything

okay so we were having issues with that code and the Thank You page not coming up after you hit confirm.  So I went another route, a little simpler to be honest.  I don't like just using Raw SQL, but it was faster than using a couple API calls, so what the heck .

function MODULENAME_civicrm_postProcess ($formName, &$form) {
          Global $user;
          $contactId = CRM_Core_BAO_UFMatch::getContactId($user->uid);
          $trxnId = $form->get('trxnId');
          $sql = "UPDATE civicrm_contribution SET contact_id = %2
                  WHERE trxn_id = %1 AND contact_id = %3";
          $params = array(
                          1 =>  array($trxnId, 'String'),
                          2 =>  array($contactId, 'Integer'),
                          3 =>  array($participant->contact_id, "Integer"),
                         );
          $dao = CRM_Core_DAO::executeQuery( $sql, $params );
}
