Hello. I am trying to test this feature in 2.2 but can't get it to work. http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-3853

I've tried different paths such as: /civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=1&c={contact.checksum}&cid={contact.contact_id}

Or: civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=1&c={contact.checksum}&id={contact.contact_id}

And: civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=1&c{contact.checksum}&id={contact.contact_id}

And: civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=1&{contact.checksum}&{contact.contact_id}

But none of them work, they either just go to the contribute page with no info filled in for anonymous users or it gives me the error of page not available.

Has anyone else tried this feature yet? I would love to hear how to make it work.
Thanks
Tony

umm - assuming this is to go in a civimail - beg to differ but think this is what you need and note the c before the {contact.checksum}   /civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=XX&c{contact.checksum}

Good to hear - which makes me wonder why ours worked - especially when we thought there was the crucial step of including the 'c' if the checksum was taking people to contribution pages rather than just profiles.

Lobo - can you clarify - have changes happened in 2.1/2.2 that means the construction of these has changed, or just that I have got the wrong end of the stick (again).

I haven't tested this yet on 2.1 or 2.2, but I can confirm that in 2.0 we used "cid" instead of "id" because we needed to have different ID values for Contacts and Contribution pages.

Where my patch has been merged into core, the CiviCRM team will have taken the opportunity to rationalise the naming between the two variables, so the "c" prefix to the checksum appears to be no longer required.

Good idea. I just clarified it a little.

thanks
