Author Topic: Create URL for direct display of Contribution (in Drupal)? (Read 1301 times)

I am creating Contributions programatically in Drupal, and attemping to redirect the user to view the newly-created Contribution record. This code produces a valid-looking URL:

$pattern = 'reset=1&id=%d&cid=%d&selectedChild=contribute&action=view';
$query = sprintf( $pattern, $id_contact, $id_contribution );
drupal_goto( 'civicrm/contact/view/contribution', $query );

But when it executes, I wind up at the CiviCRM dashboard looking at a "You do not have the necessary permission to view this contact" error. Is it possible to do what I am attempting? What have I missed?

1. does the user have permission to view contacts and contributions? You might want to login as the user and check if you can goto the url you generate

2. An easier option might be to send the user to the civicrm user dashboard page (http://drupal.demo.civicrm.org/civicrm/user?reset=1) which lists the user's current contributions etc

Ha! The problem was that contact id and contribution id were reversed when I built the query string. So, if anyone else out there is also not paying close enough attention: id = contribution ID; cid = contact ID.
