I'm working on adding prorated memberships to a particular Civi install. In hook_civicrm_buildAmount, I'd like to detect if the current contribution page is for a new membership or renewal. Is there an existing data point available on the $form object? If not, how else could I expose this information to my code?

This is how I did it:

Code: [Select]

    // access the smarty object
    $this->smarty = CRM_Core_Smarty::singleton();
    // renewal_mode only exists if a renewal membership has been detected
    $renew_mode=$this->smarty->get_template_vars('renewal_mode');
    if ($renew_mode) {
        // membershipTypes appears to be an array of all types available.  If a current membership exists,
        // then that item will have the key 'current_membership', which is YYYY-MM-DD for expiration
    	$current_memberships = $this->smarty->get_template_vars('membershipTypes');
    	if (count($current_memberships) && array_key_exists('current_membership',$current_memberships[0])) {
    		$currentdate=strtotime($current_memberships[0]['current_membership']);
    	}
    }

Thanks to dgg and dlobo for pointing me in the right direction.
