Permissions needed to edit recurring contribution
June 28, 2013, 08:53:43 am
What permissions are needed for a donor to edit their recurring contribution? The auto-renew Paypal receipt directs people to a link if they want to "update recurring contribution amount or change the number of installments", but this throws a "You do not have permissions to execute this url" error on our WP setup.

URL it's trying to access is:
civicrm/contribute/updaterecur&reset=1&crid=[recurringid]&cs=[checksum]

Cheers,

Andrew

Andrew - That URL "should" be accessible if user has 'make online contributions' permission. However I did some checking in the integration-specific code for WP and it looks like a PHP file may need to be modifed to allow access to that path.

So ... if your user already has 'make online contributions' permission, can you try this one-line patch to civicrm/WordPress/civicrm.php, and see if that fixes things:

Code: [Select]
diff --git a/civicrm.php b/civicrm.php
index 7367187..2e28ed3 100644
--- a/civicrm.php
+++ b/civicrm.php
@@ -487,7 +487,7 @@ function civicrm_check_permission($args) {
   if (in_array('CiviContribute', $config->enableComponents)) {
     if (
       $arg1 == 'contribute' &&
-      in_array($arg2, array('transact', 'campaign', 'pcp'))
+      in_array($arg2, array('transact', 'campaign', 'pcp', 'updaterecur'))
     ) {
       return TRUE;
     }

That worked! Thank you very much for checking that out so quickly.

I also added 'updatebilling' and 'unsubscribe' to handle the other two default links in the receipt.

Excellent - thx for testing quickly. I'll get that patch committed for the next 4.3 release with the additional paths as you've noted. I guess you're the first WP site to start using the self-service recurring contribution change feature :-)

BTW - it looks like the BHA hasn't posted a case study for your WP / Civi site yet. Please pay it back by taking a few minutes to do so. The WordPress / Civi community is growing but folks need more examples to refer to.
