Thank you letter for contributions
April 28, 2011, 06:43:50 am
Hi Guys

I need to have a thank you letter for contributions using Civi and the print PDF letter is a great way of making templates, however i cant find a way of putting the donation ammount in there. Is there a way of putting the contribution ammounts into the PDF letters? If not then is there any plans to have thank you letters through to contribution module as aposed to just the recipt? we have several templates so i would need to be able to choose.

I know that we can export to CSV and then use that as a mail merge data but i am looking for a cleaner solution.

Thanks in advance

Chelcone

You can put amounts and other values in PDF letter by using the token hook. Check:

http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC32/CiviCRM+hook+specification#CiviCRMhookspecification-hookcivicrmtokens

There currently are no plans for thank you letters in the module. However this request has come up quite a bit, so would love to add that feature. Wanna work on it and submit a patch? we can help u get going on it. Is a good project to get started on

I dont have a great knowladge of PHP or how to write hooks, so i can give it a go but wouldnt really know how to make a patch for it.

I will have a go and then see if i can post anything about it. When you say you would be able to help get me going what would you be able to do? If i have a good footing to write a patch then i would probably be able to figure it out.

Thanks Lobo

I am thinking about using the receipt template and modifying it to look like our thank you letters.
