Inhibiting display of Contribution Type option list
June 18, 2012, 04:16:00 pm
CiviCRM 3.2.3

I'm looking for a way to inhibit the display of the contribution type option list list. On certain pages we do not want all the options to be listed. I think it is going to require some customisation but would like to know if there are any other ways to do this.

Are you just looking for a way to remove the option from the menu or do you want to remove references to it in several screens? If the latter is the case you do need a little customization, but customization of the template should be sufficient. Check the developer guide http://book.civicrm.org/developer/techniques/templates (a couple of jQuery lines should get this done)

Remove the options list from all pages. Each page has its own default option but lists all the options. Some brainy users think another option is better than the default which makes tracking lots of fun.

Sounds like a fun customization :-) But I am not sure I understand what you mean

Can you explain in a little more detail what the problem is?

Again, not sure I catch your drift.....you might be better of with renaming the option group in the database and changing the default values rather than customizing lots of screens? Can you give a real life example of the issue?

See this page: https://secure.democratsabroad.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=4

About half-way down there is a options list box for contribution type. The problem is we don't want people choosing another option. The only valid one for this page should be the default, "Regular Contribution".

Another example:

https://secure.democratsabroad.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=27

Here the only valid option is "Oktoberfest 2012".

I'm not sure what you mean by renaming the option group in the database. Seems like that would be a it more trouble.

That would certainly be more trouble, but I did not get your issue quite clearly :-)

If you only want to show specific options in specific places as your examples clearly show, you will have to customize the template/profile. There are several possiblities of tackling this, but they all require customization......as far as I know :-)

After a bit more research (I am not the developer), I have discovered that the display of the option list is actually in a custom Drupal module for our site. I have looked at the demo version of 4.1 and do not see this feature.

So there is alreay customization  ;D. Did you develop the customizations, or is it done by someone at your company? Or are you a volunteer at Democrats Abroad trying to find out what has been built?
