Gift Memberships

[EdP]

Hi
I found this exchange:
http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,5930.0.html
In which people were asking how to use the honoree fields more fully to create gift memberships. The conclusion was that you had to hand code it yourself.

I'm setting up CiviCRM for my rowing club. We have a similar use case - adults buying memberships for their children. We'd like to keep both adult details and child details (the child is the member, but obviously its necessary to keep the details of their parents as emergency contacts).

Based on the above (I assume that this is still the case?) I will have to go delving in code for the time being, but for the longer term is there a feature request process, or a plan to implement this?

There is a standing feature request for this - but it's not on the short or medium term roadmap:

http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-3260

If you have engineering resources to work on implementing this - contact us on the IRC channel. This functionality could potentially be achieve by extending the currently available "signup for a membership on behalf of an organization" feature. (Allowing the "on behalf of" recipient to also be a related individual.)

Thanks. I'll look into it.

OK, I found this
http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-2964
about how "On behalf of an organisation" was set up, and had a play with how it works.
I think it probably does everything I need, except that it only searches/works for "employee" relationships with organisations, whereas I want it to look for "household member" and "parent of" relationships with households and individuals.
So can someone help me by telling me where I could find this code to see if the fix is relatively easy?

Thanks.

your starting point is:

CRM/Contact/BAO/Contact/Utils.php, function buildOnBehalfForm
