Collecting honoree address information
May 23, 2011, 07:46:45 pm
Hi,

I know there is already another smilar topic  to this, but it was never fully answered, so I thought I might as well as post again.  Anyway, I'm trying to modify the honorees section of the contribution page to capture address information, and what I was thinking of is using the new contact widget (also used at the top of the contribution page to select the contributor), so that new address data automatically becomes part of a contact record.  Also, users can save time by selecting an existing contact record if one exists. 

Does this approach sound like a good idea?  Anyway ideas about how it can be implemented?

Note that a major issue with the below scheme is, you give all your "contributors" the ability to create new contact and hence potentially spam the database without making a contribution.

Staff members would actually input all the contributions, so we wouldn't have to worry about that.

Okay so I went ahead and added
Code: [Select]
require_once 'CRM/Contact/Form/NewContact.php';
            CRM_Contact_Form_NewContact::buildQuickForm( $form,10, array($profileId));to my buildhonoree function in the additionalinfo.php file. 

I'm using 10 for my block number because I don't want to run the risk of using an already occupied block.  I also added
Code: [Select]
{include file="CRM/Contact/Form/NewContact.tpl"}
to my honoree.tpl file. 

So far, this thing works great for contributions, but when I'm adding pledges, I can make new contacts, but I can't select existing ones.  The search box that normally gives you a list of contacts that might match your query is not working.  It's weird because this is only a problem when adding pledges, but everything worsk great when adding contributions. 

Does anyone know why the new contact widget might work in contributions but not in pledges?
