contribution-specific tokens
April 14, 2012, 03:20:21 am
I would  like to create custom mail merge tokens for contribution data, to support the end-user using a template that is something like:

Dear {first_name},  Thank you for your generous contribution of {contrib_amount}  for our fund {contrib_type} that you sent on {contrib_date} 

What would be a good general approach to know which contribution in particular to get the data from? Each person may have many, many contribution records.

Did I help you? Please donate to the Civi-Make-It-Happen campaign  CiviCRM for mobile devices!

there lies the problem.
i've done some that retrieve the most recent contrib.
or you could do one that lists all contributions, year to date

Something very similar was just developed during the code sprint last week. I believe it's slated for 4.2.

Also, I wrote a custom token that generates a table of all contributions of a given type that haven't yet been thanked. I blogged about it here: http://civicrm.org/blogs/colemanw/create-your-own-tokens-fun-and-profit
