Hi

I've added a new custom tab to the Contact display to show contributions of just one sort (members can make all sorts of contributions, but we want to be able to track one type separately and total up how much they've contributed for this type).

The tab all works, but you have to go to it to see the total contribution. Is there any way for me to put the total in the tab text? Alternatively could I add it to the summary screen (even though it's additional information which needs a new database query)?

Thanks in advance as always.

Hi Lobo,

Yes I'm using a hook to add the tab. I can't see how to add the count though? I can't find any examples. This is what I've got so far:


function xxx_civicrm_tabs( &$tabs, $contactID ) {
    // From the example code: let's add a new "contribution" tab with a different name and put it last
    $url = CRM_Utils_System::url( 'civicrm/raceFloat', "reset=1&snippet=1&force=1&cid=$contactID");
    $tabs[] = array( 'id' => 'xxxRaceFloat',
        'url' => $url,
        'title' => 'Race Float',
        'weight' => 300 );
}

Also, what I really want it the total amount not the count.

For background, we're using the one contribution type as a virtual float for members of a sports team. They make contributions which are credited to their float and then when they take part in an event, the event fee is deducted. We need to be able to see what their float balance is. I can already generate a report showing all the members with floats below £30. The next thing I want to be able to do is automatically once a week, send out an email to those whose float is too low asking them to top up.

Thanks
