Contribution form that requires logged in user?
March 26, 2013, 07:22:06 pm

We currently have a contribution form that includes a profile for member signup.  We also use the same form for member renewal, however many members are confused by the form since we include the original profile that has a lot of extra fields.

Is there a way to have a profile only show up in a contribution when a user is not logged in?

Is there a way to create a contribution form that restricts access to logged in users or members of a specific group only?


Thanks

Have you tried looking into http://drupal.demo.civicrm.org/civicrm/acl?action=add&reset=1  CiviCRM ACLs can take a while to get your head around but I think you *might* be able to do what you need to by restricting access to the profile to a particular group.

Please post back your findings here so others know if this approach does / doesn't work.

Thanks.  I'll take a look.  Part of the reason I have not used ACL's extensively yet is because Drupal Role's supercede them I think?   I will try it and get back to you.

Depends what you mean by supercede! A good principle for working with both drupal and CiviCRM permissions is that you can only give permissions. So turn off any relevant drupal permissions and add permissions to civicrm contacts as you need to

By supercede I mean that Drupal Permissions Roles for Civi over-rule any ACL's that you may have in place.  So if I block a certain group from accessing a specific event but I also enable "edit all events" under Drupal for that same person, then I believe that the Drupal rule will win.  To get ACL's to work properly you have to remove the accounts in question from any possible Drupal rule conflicts.

At least that is my understanding.

After looking into this, it appears that this works, but not in a way that is useful.   If I have a contribution or an event that uses a profile AND I block this profile using an ACL, it appears that Civi blocks access to the entire contribution or event because the requested profile cannot be displayed.

I was hoping that Civi would simply not render the restricted profile rather than spitting out an error message stating that the profile was restricted.

I guess there isn't a clean way to restrict a profile from being displayed in an event or contribution based on ACL?

Have you ruled out having 2 contrib forms - one you direct people to when Joining, and the other for Renewing?

Pete,

That is what we originally wanted to do, however there is difficulty in restricting the second contrib form to members only.  Using ACL's is an option, however the ACL restriction doesn't send a nice 403 like in Drupal, instead you get an ugly access denied message.  Similarly, I think that ACL's are hard to work with at the moment as they dont support smart groups yet.

So, I am still looking for a way to restrict access to a contrib form that can gracefully error out if a non member attempts to access it.

Thats a good idea :)

Maybe we should fix the code so all public pages throw a nice, CMS formatted error page rather than our current "fatal" error page

Any chance you can work on contributing a fix for this one. I suspect its fairly easy, and basically involves only modification of CiviCRM's fatal error handler
