how to make possible to select multiple contribution types for contribution site
August 31, 2011, 01:16:02 am
Hello everybody,

I am wondering wether it would be possible to enable multiple selections for contribution type when setting up contribution sites. As far as I can see, it is currently or in my install version of civicrm only possible to select one contribution type.

Is there a more or less simple way for enabeling multiple contribution types in this context? I dont really want to create a custom field for this purpose because the contribution sites actually already fit our purposes apart from the flaw that they want me to nail down one sole contribution type for them respectively.

Thanks for your help!
Anja

currently no. the field is fairly hard coded (i..e its an explicit FK) and hence will require a schema change to allow multiple contribution types

i suspect using custom fields is a better option for now

mmm, ok. I found out however that when i manually added contributions to a contribution page and selected a different contribution type for them than the one set for the page, everything worked out fine somehow and Civi was not complaining. So maybe I will try it this way, though that would mean adding quite a lot of contributions manually... Maybe I am also going with the custom field idea, thank you for you reply anyway!
