CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

If I create a membership and record payment in the back end the contribution related to that membership shows on the membership view. If I renew that membership then the second contribution also shows up on the same membership view. However if I set up a recurring membership and additional contributions are created by the ipn callbacks those new contributions are not shown on the membership view.

I am in the process of testing this again on the latest 4.3.7 in order to confirm that the new contributions are not in the civicrm_membership_payment table or if they are why they don't show up. It's going slow this morning because Paypal Sandbox is up and down. Meanwhile I wonder if anyone else can confirm this behavior? Do you think it is incorrect? To me it makes sense that if the initial contribution is related to a membership then the new contributions should also be linked.

I think you will get ongoing linked payments if they are created through the front end form (& in 4.4 you can fill in the front end form as someone else by adding cid=0 to the url)
