Wordpress donate pages revert to home page
August 02, 2012, 02:05:00 pm
The wordpress shortcode worked great to place a contribution form on my donate page,  www.mysite.org/donate/ but once you click the "confirm contribution" button it places all the next screen's content on the home page. I have tried this with three different themes with the same results (except that sometimes the civi content shows up in different places on the home screen, or on one theme, not at all).

How do I tell Civi to used a post or page template and not the home page?

you might want to switch to using default permalinks for now.

Civi v4.1 (and maybe even 4.2) does not work nicely with the non-default settings for WP permalinks

That does work, but I would like to keep my pretty links, as we have marketing material etc set up for mysite.org/donate etc.  I did find a sort of fix, based on this post (http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php?topic=22805.0)

In the in CRM/Utils/System/Wordpress.php I changed this:
Code: [Select]
if ( is_admin() && !$frontend ) {
            $base .= 'wp-admin/admin.php';
        }
to
Code: [Select]
        if ( is_admin() && !$frontend ) {
            $base .= 'wp-admin/admin.php';
        } else {
            $base .= 'donate';
        }

It seems to be working, but I'd have to manually change this each time I updated. And I am not really sure if this would affect anything else. Am I missing an easier way to specify a template for civi pages?

Can you take a look and figure out how to generalize the below patch. Some things we'll need to test with WP 3.4 include:

a. ensure it works with all permutations of permalinks

b. ensure it works for both frontend and backend

c. ensure the absolute url generation is still working. This can be tested via civimail

d. ensure it works for both event / contribute pages

We've had a few bugs with some submitted patches with regard to the above and really need to make sure we dont mess up for future patches. Would be good to get unit tests associated with all the above for WP

My original solution (hack) did not hold up to your tests, but I think I have come up with an alternate fix.  I am still testing your four requirements on the new idea and will report when I have something solid! Thanks!
