Using the front-end to search for individual and record their donation.
September 10, 2013, 12:01:13 pm
Hi,

Please i will like to use CIVICRM to configure a front-end page for entering donations just at it functions in the back end where you cab search for an individual and just record a donation against their name (not to process a payment but just to record).

I will not want to grant the staff access to the whole of my joomla backend to this

Currently it only allows you to just apply a donation against an email address in the front end.

Please help.

Rex

Hi,

Thanks for your quick response.

The new fix seems to make it possible for me to enter contribution for an individual but it doesn't give me the option to search for an individual and apply a contribution to that individual that was found.

You'll need to do this as a custom extension. If you do so, please share your code / recipe so others can benefit

Hi,

So just to confirm, a the moment, it is not possible have a form to search for a contact from the front-end and apply a donation to that individual person?

it is not possible via the UI as is shipped in the release

But, you can write a custom extension / code to do the needful. So it is possible with custom code :)

So, Coleman asked me to clarify ... something. I assume he means the expected behaviour of CRM-13179. If you add 'cid=0' to the contribution page url in 4.4 then you can fill it in as someone else. If you have permission to view one or more contacts then you will be able to select them from the autocomplete select box (I think you have to click on something to make it display - like 'click here to select an existing contact' or something.

Hi Eileen,

It doesn't work when I view the page b/c I'm not logged in. Can you confirm that it also doesn't work for permissioned users?

Note that the logged in user must  have ACL permission to view at least one other contact

Hi,

Although I can log into the administer screen I am not sure that means I'm logged into the front end. I note the CiviCRM user does not have 'access CiviCRM' permission. In that case they need to have 'Access Ajax API' (or similar permission). This allows them to run certain queries using javascript. For example I can run CRM.api('contact', 'get') & get a list of contacts I have permission to view. Note that this returns all contact fields relating to those contacts
