CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I'm in the process of writing a plugin using the api for a few things, and I'd like to include a membership management module for group managers.  More or less I've got it setup for front end syncing of a 3rd party app (buddypress) with the users list of member types.  Under the buddypress group admin setup, I'm able to spit out a list of the membership from civicrm of that particular buddypress group (which coincides with the CiviMember member types in that organization).

With that, I would like to basically have it so that those users with admin abilities can manage the membership of the organization, by having the member list also have a 'renew' and 'cancel' option. 

Are all of the renewal and cancellation options based around the membership api (end-date and membership type) or would I also be required to manipulate the payment renewal setup with each payment processor for renewing payments?
Thanks

Hi,

Good question, I haven't tested yet.

I'd assume that using the membership api does update the related contribution properly. If it isn't the case, it should be added IMO (may be introduce a option.update_contribution new param).

It would be great if you could write a unit test to verify how the contribution is updated, so it puts this relationship in the radar and if the way the contribution is not  changed anymore the way you expect it too, we will see it directly.
