I have implemented 2 contribution widgets as part of a membership drive for new sections of our org. So far we have 1 members in each (me), but the amount raised is still 0 and the number of donors is 0. The link does go to the correct contribution page.

I am using civi3.4.4 with the patch4merlise for CRM-8141 that fixes the problem with multiple members signup pages. Suggestions on what to check to debug this? The contributions and memberships are being linked with the new code.

As a feature, would it be possible to have an option to change the text for donor to members if the contribution page is for memberships rather than contributions only (or allow custimization) ?

best,
Merlise

Unfortunately the 'Donors' string is hard-coded in CRM/Contribute/BAO/Widget.php (line 166). I can't think of any way to change this other than creating a custom copy of that file and modifying that line:

Code: [Select]

        $data['num_donors'] = $data['num_donors'  ] ." " .ts( 'Donors' );

Given that pretty much every other piece of text on the widget is set via user-controlled DB stored values - might be nice to fix that one as well at some point (add column for it to contribution_page table and add form field on Widget screen ...).

NOTE: separately Merlise let me know that the widget is working correctly for contribution pages that are used for membership signup.

as an update the problem was likely not clearing the cache :-)
