CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Hey,

I would like to gather and store some legally required information when someone is making a contribution using CiviCRM Profiles.  I'd like to change the way the form looks, though.  If I build the form and insert the profile in the page via the CiviCRM admin page, can I then copy the HTML source, style it to my liking and place it in a Drupal node?

Any gotcha's???  Is there a better way to do this???

Yes, I've looked at that page, thanks for the reminder.  I read down the page and it looked like I should create a Custom Profile Screen, since I only want the modifications to be used in this instance.

I've determined that the forms I need to modify are CRM/Contribute/Form/Contribution/Mail.tpl and CRM/UF/Form/Block.tpl.  I'd like to make the change only for this Profile (assume profile id = 2), so would the path to the custom forms be CRM/Contribute/Form/Contribution/2/Mail.tpl and CRM/UF/Form/2/Block.tpl?  Or does that only work for the files in the Profile directory (it doesn't seem to be working)?

Also, is there a place where the integer values for variables like $mode and $action can be cross-referenced, or is it different for each file?

Thanks.

Thanks.  I'll do my best in the mean time.

Being able to customize contribution/event templates based on the ID is great. The php overrides are great too.

It would be *really* cool to be able to have ID-specific php overrides...

In 2.0, the contribution page ID wasn't passed through to the template.

When I used the Smarty debug window popup to see how I could insert conditionals based on which contribute page, I couldn't see where the ID of the current Contribute page could be queried from.

Eg, if I added {debug} to CRM/Contribute/Form/Contribution/Main.tpl, I see the following variables in the popup for /civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=12

$SCRIPT_NAME
$action
$activeComponent
$bltID
$cancelSubscriptionUrl
$config
$formTpl
$intro_text
$isForm
$is_allow_other_amount
$is_email_receipt
$is_monetary
$membershipBlock
$membershipTypes
$paymentProcessor
$printerFriendly
$recentlyViewed
$session
$showRadio
$singleMembership
$title
$tplFile
$wizard

plus a couple labelled "assigned config file variables" - {#files#} and {#vars#}

NONE of the above (apart from some country IDs in $config) contained "12", which would be the contribution page ID we'd need to check for.

As a result, when I had to implement per-page template customisations for Contribute pages in 2.0, I checked for the value of the $title variable in the template instead. (Obviously less than ideal, but works.)

Dave says above that this will be in 2.1, which is great news.
