Using .extra.tpl files for Contributions
August 01, 2011, 02:45:48 pm
So I'm trying to use those .extra.tpl files to append some code to the new contributions form.  I've set up my custom directory and created my file at CRM\Contribute\Form\Contribution.extra.tpl.  My test code is as follows:

Code: [Select]
{literal}
<script>
alert('test');
</script>
{/literal} 

The weird thing is that the same code in CRM\Contact\Form\Contact.extra.tpl works just fine.  Any ideas on what's going on?

I'm bumping this thread because I'm having the same problem. The .extra.tpl mechanism, which works for Contact forms, does not seem to work for Contribution forms, e.g. templates/CRM/Contribute/Form/Contribution.extra.tpl. Anyone else? Any idea why? Thanks.

Hi Lobo,

The page I'm trying to modify is the main Contribution edit form; www.my-crm.org/civicrm/contact/view/contribution?reset=1&action=update&id=109899&cid=548654&context=contribution (for any value of id, cid and context).

I have created a file in my custom templates directory called CRM/Contribute/Form/Contribution.extra.tpl but for some reason the code does not get included in the page above. I also tried CRM/Contribute/Form/Contribution/Main.extra.tpl but that didn't work either.

Like the original poster above, when I created a file CRM/Contact/Form/Contact.extra.tpl, that did get appended to the main Contact form.

Any idea what the problem is? Am I naming the file incorrectly or does the .extra.tpl mechanism not work for the Contribution form?

Thanks.

can u add your extra code in this file:

CRM/Contribute/Page/Tab.extra.tpl

if u only want it to appear for the 'edit/create' case, u'll also need to add a conditional:

Code: [Select]
{if $action eq 1 or $action eq 2} {* add orupdate *}
  -- add your code here
{/if}

The reason is there are a few pages across civicrm which get called via one url (civicrm/contact/view/contribution) but do different things based on the action parameter. Hence the main tpl file is different than what u'd expect

We are moving away from that pattern slowly

Lobo, thank you very much for your help. Your solution worked. Feeling grateful for your help, I went to make a donation to the CiviCRM project on behalf of our organisation, but a bug in the donation form prevented me from doing so!

If you go to donate money to the project-at-large (http://civicrm.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=19), tick the box that says "I am contributing on behalf of an organization", select any country other than the United States, fill in all required fields including State/Province, then click Confirm Contribution, you'll see that on the next page, the State/Province value has been blanked. Try to Continue and you'll get an error message saying "State / Province is a required field."

In other words, it is impossible to contribute to the project-at-large on behalf of an organisation that is not based in the US! As soon as this bug is fixed, let me know and you can have some dollars. :)

Thanks.

Hi,
I want to add "extra" features to the main Contribution form (add or update), so adding JS to the file CRM/Contribute/Page/Tab.extra.tpl works fine but he Javascript code is executed several times (in my case 2 times).

I think the Tab.tpl is included more than 1 time in the Contribution Form (I couldn't figure out where is called exactly), so any Javascript added is executed as many times as Tab.tpl page is called
Easy test added an alert(''X"); and I see 2 times the alert.

Any ideas?
Tx

Yeap, one of the limitation of the extra.tpl

I tend to "flag" that my custom script has already run, eg

Code: [Select]
cj(function($) {
  if ($(document).data('featureX'))
    return:
  $(document).data('featureX','ready');
  //do the init
});

Ok, that's what I fear :)
Another useful JS tip it's if you are defining functions inside the extra.tpl and you want to know if the function it's defined already (in the previous execution of the tpl).
Can use this for global functions:

Code: [Select]
if(typeof myfunction != 'function'){
   window.myfunction = function(){
       
      // put your function code here....
   };
}
