Pre populating a field in a Contribution Profile
February 22, 2009, 06:30:39 pm
I have attached a profile to a contribution for a membership type.

I have a Membership Id field which must be prepopulated once the membership is approved. (in two ways,
1- Online payment, 2- when the person is sending check and admin staff are changeing the membership status to Current)

How can I create a readonly field in a Profile which is pre-populated by system.

We have certain formula for the membership ID. I want the system to automatically give the membership number which is visible to user when they check their profiles.

I know that I need to do some coding, but dont know where to start from.

Thanks in Advance
Cid.

Check: http://civicrm.org/node/356

create a custom code field and then include it in your profile. Implement the hook to generate a membership ID

if I get it right, instead of having a PHP code custom field, it is a hook which can be used for ANY type of Custom fields.

So, everytime this hook is trigger , I have to seach for a particular custom field which can be any of the custom fieds, and then prepopulate the value. right?

It may be a very basic question, sorry, I am new, but when does this hook is triggered?

this hook is triggerred whenever we need to update / create a new entry in the custom value table for that contact / membership

so works best in conjunction when u r collecting other custom data for that contact. If that is not applicable, you can also use the membership hook to create the custom membership id
