Custom Contribution Token
March 19, 2014, 10:32:09 pm
I'm having trouble implementing the following Hook code for a contribution custom field token.  I think the problem is in the contribution IDs because the query seems to work fine directly through phpmyadmin.  Any insight would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks!

function wordpress_civicrm_tokens(&$tokens) {
   $tokens['custom_contrib'] = array(
      'custom_contrib.item_description' => 'Custom Contrib.: Item Description',
   );
}
function wordpress_civicrm_tokenValues(&$values, $cids, $job = null, $tokens = array(), $context = null) {
   if (!empty($tokens['custom_contrib'])) {
      $cc_ids = implode(',', $cids);
      $tokens += array(
         'item_description' => array(),
      );         
      if (in_array('item_description', $tokens['custom_contrib'])) {
         $dao = &CRM_Core_DAO::executeQuery("
            SELECT entity_id, donation_description_30 AS item_desc
            FROM civicrm_value_in_kind_donation_info_9
            WHERE entity_id IN ($cc_ids)"
         );
         while ($dao->fetch()) {
            $ccid = $dao->entity_id;
            if (in_array($ccid, $cids)) {
               $values[$ccid]['custom_contrib.item_description'] = $dao->item_desc;
            }
         }      
      }
   }
}

Have you used a debugger to see what values are being passed for the variables? $cids might be contact ids not contribution ids.
Try asking your question on the new CiviCRM help site.

I'm pretty sure I'm in the "contribution mode" (ie., Selected "Thank You Letters for Contributions" after "Find Contributions") so I assume the $cids are contribution IDs.  Honestly, I have not figured out the debugger and am fairly new to php. 
P.S. You probably recognize this code as rip-offs from your very own "Create your own Tokens for Fun and Profit"!

Sorry debugging variables is not optional in any programming language - there's just absolutely no way to write code without having any idea what a variable contains. And you know what "assume" makes an ass out of... ;)
Just put this at the beginning of your hook tokenValues:
echo "<pre>";
echo "\n\$cid = ";
print_r($cid);
echo "\n\$values = ";
print_r($values);
echo "</pre>";
exit();

Thanks for highlighting the debugging path for me!
This sounds stupid, but where is this output captured?  Nothing comes to the screen, pdf or log file.

Echo and print go directly to the browser. If you don't see a white-screen with that stuff on it in your browser, then your hook is not even running.
I 'assume' you are browsing to the right place to make that code go (e.g. actually printing a contribution letter).
If that's true and it's still not running, try putting a print/exit statement in the other hook to see if that works.

One more thing and this may be completely obvious but CIviCRM already has tokens for contribution amount - have you tried using that?

I click the "Make Thank You Letters" Button and a new pdf is downloaded.
I'm not seeing this magical white screen (I have echo/print statements in both hooks) so no hook explains why no item description (this is a text field describing an in-kind donation so I can't use the contribution amount).
At least I can bang my head against the wall about something else now! Thanks, Karen

SORRY - put debugging print in wrong civicrmhooks.php file.  Now getting debugging print! (had to put $cids not $cid though)
And it is the contact id rather that contribution id!!  How can I tell it I need the contribution IDs in the $cids?

In CRM/Utils/Token.php there is a comment around line 1148 in the static function getContributionTokenDetails in a loop on contribution IDs to:
        // TODO: call a hook to get token contribution details
Any call/update here would not be upgrade proof.
Is the feature I'm searching for, Custom Contribution Tokens which key off contribution IDs, not available yet?

Seems likely.
You could fake it by looking up the latest contribution for a given contact. That will probably be what you want most of the time.

I have created some tokens for a client of us in an extension. Which retrieves the last completed contribution and the next pending contribution. See for this extension https://github.com/CiviCooP/org.civicoop.no.maf.ext/blob/master/org.civicoop.no.maf.tokens/maf_tokens.php

This is a custom extension for a client of us. But feel free to use the code and tweak it.
