get the contribution ID in the post process hook
May 13, 2013, 07:34:02 am
I am very close to completing my code to send to owner of a PCP an email when they get a donation. I have my code written as a postprocess hook after the CRM_Contribute_Form_Contribution_Confirm form.

 I actually have it working at the moment but am trying to get a fair amount of information in the email.  I've gotten these variables to work for me:
$form->_contactID;
$form->_pcpId;
$form->_amount;

which is great, but I haven't been able to figure out what existing variable would give me the contribution ID, nor been able figure out how to add code to the confirm.php file to pass the contribution id to this hook. Suggestions?

Have you looked at using hook_civicrm_post() ?

As opposed to hook_civicrm_postProcess? Would a different set of variables be available to me? Would it still run when someone confirmed their donation?

hook_civicrm_postProcess is for form processing - form variables will be available but not necessarily other things like contribution id.
hook_civicrm_post is fired whenever anything is saved to the database, so it will run anytime a contribution is saved (really it runs anytime anything is saved, so you need to wrap your code in some specific conditionals. It passes the id explicitly.

Thank you for explaining that, it makes a bit more sense now (when you might use one over the other and why some information is available and other not.)

I will see what I can rebuild in this hook!! Thanks again!

I also just filed a PR to expose the contribution ID to the form object. In the past (legacy reasons), we've not been very good at exposing such IDs at the form layer
