Hello,
I am setting up CiviPledge to use with my organization. There are a number of things CiviPledge doesn't QUITE do right for our needs... many of them are addressed in the Roadmap. For now, I have a plan that will allow us to use CiviPledge in its current form. Although it won't be the cleanest solution, it will be fine to get us by until CiviPledge matures a bit.

However, there is one major roadblock where I have to do some customization. It is crucial that our members are allowed to submit the contribution page, but put in an amount of zero for contribution/pledge. This is necessary because the contribution page also contains a profile with personal data we ask to be updated, and renews their (free) membership for the year.

Could someone point me to the right file to start looking into where to place this hack?  I'm thinking something along the lines of just forcing it to skip all monetary/contribution handling, if the amount entered is zero. (Or potentially just removing the validation on the "amount" field that forces it to be greater than zero).

Any thoughts or pointers are greatly appreciated!
