Viewing contributions & soft contributions
April 27, 2009, 05:59:33 am
Hi - I am interested in trying to find out the best practice to enable contributors to view soft contributions made in their name. Currently, they can view on their PCP page - but won't know who if the soft contributor asked to be left off of the honor roll. Access is not granted to Civicontribute currently. I would like each registered user to be able to see their own information but only their information and soft contributors. Is there an easy way to enable this?
Thank you.
Jim

You will need to add code to enable the below functionality. If interested in doing this, contact us on IRC

Lobo - sorry I missed you today on IRC. If you can point me in the right direction, I'm happy to go digging.
Thanks.
Jim

Lobo - I'm finally digging into this. In looking at the code and DB, though of course not a long term solution, it seems like a db script that populates honor_contact_id from contact_id in civicrm_contribution_soft matched on contribution_id would do the trick nicely. I'm not currently using the honoree section in the contribution page so overlap wouldn't be an issue. Thoughts? Since I have a civicrm_post hook already set up, i can add a db update there.
Thanks as always.
Jim

yes you can potentially go down that route. however if you choose to start using the honor section it might land u in a bit of a pickle :) and u'll need to move the data to some other table etc

Thanks. Is the long term plan to keep both honorees and soft contributions? It seems to me that they share pretty much the same functionality.

yes the functionality is similar but the two concepts are very different for most non-profits
