Add other amount price field in priceset
October 31, 2014, 02:18:01 am
Is it possible to add a 'other' amount pricefield to a priceset?

You can add a text box field with a value of 1, and then use the amount to set a freely chosen price.
This however doesn't seem to work if you would like to allow persons to add a decimal number.

For example, i'm trying to create a priceset with following fields:
-registration (fixed amount, number of persons)
-extra donation (extra free to choose amout people can add).

If i use the value of 1 trick, i'm not allowed to enter an extra donation of €1.50 (mind the decimal value). I can only add integers.
I'm trying to add this in a pricefield, since that way i can choose different financial type's for the price-set.

I found that on a contribution page you can add a 'other_amount' field, but i'd like to do this inside a priceset.

I just created a field in a price set with a value of 1. In the preview it works fine when I enter 1.5 I get a total of $1.50.Works in conjunction with other fields also.
 
I tested it in Ver 4.5.2. I have a an front end form in Ver 4.4.6 that is working fine with the same setup.

It should work.

It indeed works in the preview, but not when you try to create a real contribution using that priceset.
The 'preview' total account is calculated correctly, but trying to save the contribution triggers the 'error'.

Just reconfirmed on the drupal / civi 4.5.2 demo site.

If you feel that whole pound/dollar/euro amounts are too restrictive, then you can set the value to 0.01 and make it clear on the field label that they should enter the number of cents/pence they want to donate.

Thanks Joanne, that's the setup i'm using now.
For now i sort of need this to migrate old data to civicrm, which had this 'free amounts' with cents. Could be for the future the limit isn't really a problem.
I however think this could be a good addition to CiviCRM since that seemed logical to me. Best would probably to create an issue for this? Or does one already exists?
