limiting period of membership during which member is able to renew

Hi,

We want to set up CiviCRM so the members can only renew membership from 11 months after their start date, ie one month before the end date.

Our membership is annual and rolling.

Has anyone done this? Is it even possible?

thanks, Vera

Hi Vera - I wonder if you need to this limitation given that CiviMember will add a year onto a person's membership starting from the END of their current membership. So, if my membership ends on Feb 15, 2009 - it doesn't matter whether I renew on Feb 14, 2009 or on Dec 1, 2008 - my new End Date will be Feb 15, 2010.

If you still need the constraint ... Are you using / planning on using an online contribution page for membership renewal? If so, you might be able to create a customized version of the template for that page and use some simple logic in the template to put up a "come back later" message if the person's end date (which is a variable in the template) is > 1 month from today.

Check out the customizing CiviCRM screens for info on this:

Hi Dave,

The limitation is based on our membership rules: any contribution over the membership fee in a year is a donation and cannot be used to pay for subsequent membership dues. Membership can only be renewed up to a month before end of current membership AND we have a rolling membership.

We will be using an online contribution form. Thanks for the pointer to a solution.

kind regards, Vera
