Custom triggers gets deleted automatically
March 15, 2014, 06:33:12 am
I have created a custom triggers in MySQL database to filled in the source field when making an offline contribution. Trigger works for a day and then automatically gets deleted and I could not find any log for deletation. Civicrm has root access to MySQL. Does anyone know what could cause this?

Edit: the default triggers for civicrm is still there though. My custom created ones are gone.

Wouldn't this be better done programmatically via a PHP Drupal module, custom PHP file or CiviCRM extension?  Making manual edits to the CiviCRM MySQL schema is not a best practice.
Try CiviTeacher: the online video tutorial CiviCRM learning library.

Here is an example of using the trigger hook to define triggers such that they don't get destroyed (& get merged with any other triggers that are defined)
