freeform donation field with event registration
February 24, 2009, 03:25:20 pm
I've seen many people asking about adding an option for a donation with an event registration and they have recieved an answer of creating a series of donation ammounts. Sadly this isnt ideal as you cant cover all amounts.

I realised that if you create a price field in your price set as below it works really nicely

Field Label Donation in multiple of
Input Field Type Text/Numeric Quantity
Price 1


note if you dont say "in multiple of" then the output will just be donation -$1 and it wont be clear that the user has to input the actual ammount to donate. Donation in multiple of - $1 should be clear to everyone.

Hope this helps

But does it get added as an event fee cost or a donation for the user?

All the price set values get added to the event fee cost

Is it possible to use this method, but not require the registrant to enter a value into that field?

I have a price set with the same kind of field, but if you do not enter anything into the field you get the message: "Select at least one option from Event Fee(s)."

Entering 0 for the value does not work either.

Thanks,
Robert

I have just found this post:

http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,6641.0.html

Which says that some code changes would be required to make this happen.

Hey brianteeman,

We do exactly this but we hide the price ($1) for the donation item in addition to your settings. You can choose not to display the fee under the price set price option settings.

That way they just enter a value for their donation and the page looks something like:

Donation: [text box for their donation value]

The donation is added to their event registration so it is listed as an event fee in CiviCRM, not as a donation.

This has worked really well for us
