Own WP plugin -> CiviCRM contributions form submission / Overview ?
February 15, 2013, 04:29:12 pm
Hello,
I've been developing a WP plugin which provides UX for conference website. I've come to the point of needing to integrate the user's selected schedule (a collection of civi events) with a contribution page for handling the payment transaction. Looking into the HTML and javascript of the contributions page I've mocked up using Civi, I see a real nest of coding styles and processing hooks.

Is there a roadmap/schema/ERD/UML flow diagram that covers the workflow from creating an instance of the contribution page generator up through the build out and presentation of the form to the user, and the return through payment processor to final update of the (?xyz) tables which need updating after submission ?

A small ask I realise, but a hopeful heart nonetheless ...

Cheers,
Erik

two comments:

1. Might want to read the developer book: http://book.civicrm.org/developer/ Will give you some more insight into the flow / process of civi in general

2. Your question seems real broad, so might be easier to discuss on the IRC channel and do it interactively with a few folks there

thanx

Thanks for the reply Don. 

A question before I go any further with my project:  is it the case that if I go the extra three miles to work in drupal (unfamiliar terrain) that a Civi extension will "drop in" and behave in the WP plugin environment ?

My client is emphatic that the front end be WP, but needs this custom conference management capability added. (The existing work on the shopping cart model has been reviewed and found unattractive by said client.)

Thks
Erik
