I am trying to add a CiviContribute page with:

1. Contribution Amounts > Execute real-time monetary transactions = unchecked
2. Contribution Amounts > Contribution Amounts section enabled = unchecked
3. Configure Membership Section > Membership Section Enabled = unchecked
4. Include Profiles > a custom profile included

Basically, I need a page with some fields to collect information and send that information in an email to the concerned team (something similar to a Contact us page, but different for each team), and also send an email to the user (not a registered user/member, but a general unauthenticated public user) that his request has been received.

Now, when I create this Contribute page with no Contribution Amounts and Membership sections enabled, I get an error saying:

"Sorry. A non-recoverable error has occurred.

The requested online contribution page is missing a required Contribution Amount section or Membership section. Please check with the site administrator for assistance."

I am using CiviCRM 2.1. It seems that both these sections are optional, but looks like either one of them has to be there. Any idea how to make these really optional (or whether it is doable at all in the first place)? If I can make this to work, nothing like it - because it already has all the built-in functionality of confirmation page and sending emails, I need.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Sorry your post slipped through the cracks

This is currently not possible in the current code base. It is potentially doable with a fair amount of code changes.

However, you can potentially do the same by using a CiviCRM Profile in combination with a CiviCRM post hook. A profile can send mail to the concerned team address (specificed in the profile settings). You'll need to implement the hook to send mail to the user. You will need php skills to do this

You can create links / menu items pointing directly to a Profile input form as described here:
