texts: How to use the API to query custom fields on activities?

texts:
Looking at the API explorer on the demo site it appeared that it's possible to query custom data on activities using the API.

However it seems that while the UI helps you select custom fields and set the values you want to search for, and there's no error submitting that, it seems completely ignored in terms of the query run.

I added a custom field set to Meeting activities on the demo (4.6.8 at 21 Aug 2015) and added a meeting activity with foo in a custom field, then queried this using the API explorer, but it seems to return all activities regardless of the custom_N query.

The developer documentation says

  As with normal API parameters, you can set custom_22 = 'Fred' in a get operation to filter for records that have custom_22 ...

So is this a bug/unimplemented feature or am I doing something wrong? Is there a work around or do I go back to writing plain ol' SQL?

Thanks.


texts: How do I display user statistics/analytics on their dashboard?

texts:
I'm using civicrm and I'm wondering how I can better customize the home dashboard. We have people that are going to be doing walklists and interviewing them. How can I make it so that when they log in, they can see how many people they interviewed so far? Keep in mind that it is specific to all volunteers so ideally, I'd like it if I could setup a global view where they can see how many contacts they have interviewed.

I hope there's a straightforward way to do it. I'm open to using SQL or anything to get it to work. Is there a way to add custom HTML to the dashboard as well? I want the UX/UI to be very simple for volunteers so I'd like to have custom buttons to tell them to 'Start Interviewing' in their walklists, rather than have to go through the menu.

texts: CiviContribute: customize "find contributions" default view

texts:
I'm using CiviCRM 4.7.27 with Wordpress and am trying to figure out how to customize the default results table that is shown when "find contributions" is run. Normally, the search shows a table with the columns: name, amount, type, etc. I would like to customize which columns are shown for the search result but cannot for the life of me figure out how to do this.

I tried to create a profile with the columns I want to view and enabled "Used for: search views". However, when I tried to add a Contributions field to the profile, I got the error "Contribution cannot be used as a result column for profile searches."

Also, supposing I was able to create the profile with the fields that I want, it is not clear how to use it for the search view, since the "find contributions" page does not seem to allow a view to be chosen. Also, the "advanced search" page does not show the profile I created in the "Display Results As Views For Display Contacts" dropdown menu.

Any help would be much appreciated! BTW, this was the reference page I consulted to try to get this feature to work: https://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Format+Advanced+Search+Result+Columns

texts: Is it possible to insert a table in a fieldset?

texts:
In a custom 'health form' field, I want to be able to fill in multiple pieces of information about medication; what it is, what it's taken for, how much, how often, when it's taken. Is it possible to have a table that allows each of these pieces of information to be gathered, relating to each medication? I.e. responding to each of the above questions about each medication taken.
Or is there a different way to achieve this?

Ideally we could export this information, but if that's not possible I'd still settle for being able to gather the information in a logical way!

Perhaps the answer is as simple as multiple records fieldset? I'm trying this at the moment, but I'm not sure how to enter multiple records - or perhaps how to set the fieldset so that entering multiple records is blatantly obvious.

Obviously I'm no IT person, but your help would be wonderful!

Thanks heaps,
Kate

Where/how can I override the default CKEditor configuration files in CiviCRM?

Original issue / follow-up question

We have a custom email template that uses <html>, <head>, <body>. When using CKEditor, if you paste the template in 'Source' and then flip back out of the source view the tags mentioned above are stripped out. This is because the CKEditor default setting is to strip these tags.

texts: Custom fields not displaying properly after 4.7.0 upgrade

texts:
Since upgrading to 4.7.0 I've noticed a problem with my custom fields (multiple-record, tab with table, and I have 4 multiple-record custom field sets per).

When I click on the custom field tabs for a contact, sometimes the data table does not display correctly. Some of the columns display as "[object Object]" for the entire column (except the heading row) instead of displaying proper data. I have a "Date" column that usually displays correctly, but in one of the custom field sets its data appears in the wrong column.

I also noticed that if I click in the data table's heading row to sort on a column I get an error in Firefox: "DataTables warning: table id=records - Invalid JSON response..."

I run CiviCRM on Joomla 3.4.8 and this issue did not occur for me on 4.6.11 (or earlier versions).

Is anybody else experiencing this issue after upgrading to 4.7.0, or have any ideas?

Edit: this is somewhat intermittent, but happens at least half of the time. Refreshing the page in the browser often fixes it, until next time.

(I tried to reproduce it on the online demo site (Drupal, since the Joomla demo is an older version) but I could not get "tab with table" custom field records to display at all there: after creating a custom field set and some test records, "No records of type '' found." is always displayed.)

texts: How Can I Incorporate Profiles in CiviEvent Backend?

texts:
I am trying to work out how to update custom profile information from the civievent back-end, however I can not get a profile to appear for updating.

Scenario: We are running an event where delegates can either sign-up via our website, or via a paper form. We need to collect specific information for the event such as access and diet requirements. An organiser will be responsible for inputting details from any paper forms received.

I have a profile set up with the additional information which works as expected when used for an online booking and exports without an issue. I have enabled for this profile:

Used for Standalone Form or Directory, CiviEvent_Additional, Search Views
Type Associate, Contact, ParticipantEventName::

So, I would have expected this to allow me to input this information either:

when I go to civicrm/participant/add?reset=1&action=add&context=standalone&eid=XX but it does not appear there
or when I search for participants, highlight them and try to Update via Batch Profile but it does not appear there either

Of Note: the profile used in the same event used for CiviEvent does not appear either

I did think that I might have to import the data via a CSV, but there must be an easier way that I am missing.

texts: How to create a mailing based on a template with API

texts:
I'm trying to create a mailing based on a template through the CiviCRM API.

Here's my code:

$params = array(
  'name' => $subject,
  'msg_template_id'=> 87,
  'created_id' => 1,
  'header_id' => 1,
  'footer_id' => 17,
  'from_email' => $from,
  'groups' => array(
    'include' => array(
      '0' => 893,
     ),
  ),
  'mailings' => array(
    'include' => array(),
    'exclude' => array(),
  ),
  'options' => array(
    'force_rollback' => 1,
  ),
  'api.mailing_job.create' => 1,
  'api.MailingRecipients.get' => array(
    'mailing_id' => '$value.id',
    'api.contact.getvalue' => array(
      'return' => 'display_name',
    ),
    'api.email.getvalue' => array(
      'return' => 'email',
    ),
  ),
);

$result = civicrm_api3('Mailing', 'create', $params);

In mailing everything is correct, the template chosen in the settings is the correct one. But there is no content in the mail.

How to make the content of the mail automatically filled by the content of the template and not from the body_html parameter?


texts: Can an Activity input profile "remember" details from the previous Activity submitted?

texts:
Newbie here, powered by CiviCRM 4.7.28 on WordPress.  The closest prior thread I could find is here.

The use case is high school students self-reporting classes completed and corresponding grades.  I thought of attaching a multiple record fieldset to a student - school relationship, but alas that's not supported.  Besides, profiles don't expose relationships and I'm too green to jump to Webforms+Drupal or Caldera Forms.

So open to suggestions, but the workaround driving this question is treating each course completion as a discrete activity that ties the student, the school, and the course info.  What I don't grasp how to do is having the 2nd thru N submissions remember the student and school so they don't have to keep re-keying this info on each course submission.  Typically they'll submit 4 to 6 course results in one sitting.

These 2 plans are respectively priced at $30/mo and $75/mo US$. My main question concerns whether the webhooks that the CiviDesk extension uses work without change regardless of which plan chosen. Is anyone else in a similar boat and considering changing their mail service? We've only used Sparkpost from the get-go and would entertain comparably priced services that other CiviCRM sites recommend. Thanks to anyone for any advice.

texts: What's the logic behind Contribution's Payment Method for offline Contributions?

texts:
I don't really understand Contribution / Payment Method (Instrument) workflow.
This is a typical scenario when creating Contributions (In many organizations that collect manually the money offline):

Create a Contribution, Status: Pending, Payment Instrument: EFT/Bank (or any custom)

Then when go back to Contribution to Edit it, Payment Method drop-down is not displayed anymore (the only place to see the selected method is in Contribution / View)

Change Contribution Status to Completed
It creates a new payment, but its Payment Method is empty

So this behavior is kind of confusing, and I've got some questions to understand the logic behind it:

Why Payment Method is available to be selected when you create a Contribution, but then when go back to Edit it, it disappears ? (just the drop-down, the payment_instrument_id value still stored in civicrm_contribution table)
Why when Completing the contribution, the payment created doesn't share the Payment Method of its parent contribution?
Is there any internal difference between Completing a Contribution or Recording a Payment?. Recording a Payment allows to select a Payment Method, but what's the point to select one for the Contribution then?

I think it's kind of confusing the way this was implemented in 4.7/5.x, but maybe I'm missing another point of view to understand it.

PS: this is based on CiviCRM 5.4.0

texts: How to Override System Workflow message template variables, single and batch

texts:
My client has advanced invoice requirements. In the past we had a custom Drupal module and a custom template file. Added a link "Print Invoice" to the individual contributions Form.tpl and then did a custom template file in Drupal using CiviCRM API to get the relevant data. For Batch, we added a new custom task and called our custom function in a loop.

But now, of course, CiviCRM has invoicing capability baked in, which is awesome! We edited the System Workflow Message but we had a lot of trouble using crmapi calls, and using Smarty. We also see that {php} is deprecated in Smarty 3.

So then I had the thought to just override the callback for civicrm/contribute/invoice. I did that by implementing hook_civicrm_xmlMenu() and providing a custom Menu.xml that uses my own class. My class just extends CRM_Contribute_Form_Task_Invoice and then I just pull in the full objects whose data I need in my own printPDF(). (Specifically, if it's an event, I want to show event start dates, etc - and if it's a membership I want to show them their membership expiration date, etc).

The problem is that the batch invoice processor seems to be hardcoded to use CRM_Contribute_Form_Task_Invoice, and I can't find a way to override it. I've tried the same approach (overriding civicrm/contribute/search in Menu.xml) but that barfs in so many places. I've looked at hook_preProcess and changing the _attributes, etc. I've tried adding my own custom task to the dropdown on the contribute search page, but then it barks about a missing Invoice.tpl for my custom implementation.

Long story short, I'm just not 100% sure on the best way to proceed, and of course I'd rather not just hack the core code, but would rather extend it somehow. We've had a past history of nervousness to upgrade CiviCRM, and I want to not feel like we're in that same boat after this upgrade (to Drupal 7 / CiviCRM 4.7). :)

The site is hosted on Dreamhost (shared server).  I tried following the help documentation on CiviCRM's website (https://docs.civicrm.org/sysadmin/en/stable/setup/jobs/).  I've completed steps one and two.  The only scheduled job api that's active is the default version check job.  The log came back with a "success" message when I executed it manually.

With step 3, I tried the WP-CLI method since it's a WordPress site.  I tried multiple combinations.  I wasn't sure exactly how to call the job.version_check api.  The instructions said to have a path to wp-cli, so I assumed that it would be to the folder in the plugin.  When I did, I got back a message saying "this is a directory", which I assume was good and it would work (although, I wasn't sure what I was calling since there's just the "civicrm.php" file in the folder).  Reading further in the article, I though I was to have it point to the "cli.php" or the "cron.php" files in the bin directory of the plugin.  Each time, I would get a "permissions denied" message.  I would change the permissions of the files and I would get "no such file or directory" and "command not found" messages, along with the "permissions denied" message.

When I got the "this is a directory" message, I moved on to step 4 and created a scheduled cron job using Dreamhosts' cron scheduler.  I would still get back "permissions denied" messages.  So, I read this article (https://civihosting.com/blog/how-to-make-a-cron-job-for-civicrm/) and created a .sh file.  After it was all said and done, this was the last message I got:

sh: /home/dh_6x6vh8/civicron.sh: /bin/sh^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

Now, I'm stuck and I have no idea what to do or what I'm doing.  I'm sorry for such a long explanation, but I wanted to make sure I was thorough without being too lengthy (which I did more, but it's a long story... if your interested in full details, please reach out).  If there's a wonderful person in this system who can help me, please understand that I'm very new with cron jobs/SSH/CLI/etc, so whatever instructions you give, you'll have to talk to me like a little kid.  Thank you so much for your help!

If I schedule that mailing to go out a week from now, will the hidden smart group update and include more recipients based on the search criteria before it goes out or will it only contain those contacts that were a part of the first search?  Thanks.


texts: How to Implement Funds that Different Grants Belong to?

texts:
How would I go about implementing funds that different grants belong to? There would be annual funding rounds based on them. CiviGrant by itself doesn't provide this functionality.

Two ways to implement this come to mind. One (though very limited way) would be through custom fields, the other by creating a whole new entity tied to grants (which would require some coding). Maybe there is a way use campaigns as funds, but how would I go about connecting campaigns to grants?
Is there some work already done on this? How have you dealt with this kind of thing?


texts: Unable to Connect to MailStore for Bounce Processing

texts:
Tested on Wordpress 4.7.3 and Joomla

CiviCRM 4.7.16

We've set up a domain for all Civi-related mail processing for our CiviCRM clients for whom we provide site management. For one account we are unable to get the bounce processing job to connect to the mail account. We have no issues using the mail account to send and receive from both webmail and setup in a mail client. All ports are open and functioning. We've tried both IMAP, POP and SSL, TLS.

We a deduping a lot of records, many of which were imported from sources prior to using CiviCRM. Apparently, at least one merged record triggered a change of email notification. Can I kill those notifications? There are likely to be many of them.

texts:
For some of my events I need to add a custom field which I want to make required. For other events I don't want to include this field and I use different profiles to deal with this. My first idea was to make the field required in the custom field definition and this was fine for online registration, but on manual registration it was still required for manual registration for events that don't use this field. Looking in SE I found a couple of questions Manual Event Registration problems and Manual Event Registration problems which help a lot. If I don't make the fields required in the field definition but make them required in the appropriate profile stops me having to enter them for manual participants when not relevant.
But then someone can register a participant manually without putting filling in the field that needs to be there. I can live with this but its not ideal.
From the questions referred to above I could restrict the fields to only one type of event, but that means having event types "course" and "course with special field" which is clumsy and probably confusing, making the event type not very useful for report filtering etc. Also I can't retrospectively apply this to an event that is already open for booking because I need to create a new custom field.
Any other suggestions?

We are doing a contribution campaign for the first time where we allow the contribution to be given as a gift (i.e. honoree).

The honoree profile, either the default or our own, requests Name and Surname. In the receipt these two fields are shown together in the same line with the title "Name" in English and not in our language.

I have tried Word Replacement and it does not work.

The same is happening in the option related to giving the contribution "On Behalf Of Organization". Both in the contribution confirmation page and in the receipt it appears in English and Word Replacement does not work.

How can I fix this? Thank you.

texts:
I'm finding that when I first go to a CiviCRM page in the morning there's a loading time of just over 1 minute(!)

There are no errors (on screen, nor in apache error log, nor in Drupal's watchdog) and after this delay everything works as normal.

Looking in firebug it's the actual page load that's stuck on client "waiting" for a full minute before it jumps to life and starts loading the zillion other requests typically needed on a CiviCRM page, which all go fast enough.

I've tried to trigger this. Clearing Drupal caches (drush cc all) does not trigger it; clearing CiviCRM caches (via civicrm/admin/setting/updateConfigBackend) do not trigger this delay.

However, adding a new user in Drupal does also trigger it. (Adding a new Contact in CiviCRM does not trigger it.)

Any ideas?


texts: How can I customise the presentation of custom field in events?

texts:
I want to have some additional data as part of my CiviCRM events, that is structured and available to Drupal Views, so I've added a couple of custom fields for Events, and I'm using those. On the public facing event information page, the default rendering of these fields is the same as in the back office, and so they look pretty out of place.

If I edit the EventInfo.tpl file it looks like it is simply pulling in the custom data with the line (line 225 in CiviCRM 4.7.24)

    {include file="CRM/Custom/Page/CustomDataView.tpl"}

I'm assuming that if I edit/override that template file it may well affect the presentation of all custom data fields right across CiviCRM.

So I guess the question is: what's the optimal way to modify the way that just these two custom fields are presented on the public facing event information page without impacting on other custom field presentation elsewhere?

As a linked supplementary question, one of these custom fields is for an event image that I can then present via a Drupal View (all my events have an image associated, and although I can of course simply include one inline through the event description field I can't subsequently access that file in Drupal Views and display itinerary a block, for example, elsewhere on the site. I'm thinking that I can't be the first person to want to re-use a CiviCRM Event image in this way. How do other people approach this?

texts: Joomla has no CiviReport permissioning, so how can I limit reports to individual users?

texts:
Welp, after the disappointing realization from this question -- that unlike the Drupal and Wordpress implementations, CiviCRM in Joomla does NOT include permissioning for individual CiviReports -- I'm now trying to figure out the best way to approximate this functionality in Joomla.  I have groups of Joomla users that should only be able to see individual reports, and apparently I can't do this with the default implementation.

Some thoughts:

limit the reports' menu items by Joomla/CiviCRM permission. But there are no purpose-built permissions for this. Is it possible to create custom Joomla permissions for CiviCRM?  Or would I have to pick some existing permission I'm not really "using" and assign it to each Joomla group?
Is it possible to intercept each report compilation, or even the navigation menu building, somewhere in the CiviCRM code with a Joomla permissions/group check?

I know both of these are kludgey ideas, but I'm really stuck without this feature that I thought was standard in all CiviCRM versions.  Suggestions incredibly welcome.

texts: Is it possible to create a token in hook_civicrm_tokenValues that retrieves the name of the creator of a non-mass-mailing?

texts:
One of our staff team has recently requested a new token be added to civi mailings that allows the name of the sender of the email to be automatically added (for use in the signature at the foot of the email). This would mean that they did not have to regularly change the name at the bottom of their mailing templates when new staff members left or arrived.
I see that hook_civicrm_tokenValues is the standard hook used to create custom tokens for civi.
I can see that one of the parameters to this function is $job.
Mass Mailings Token
I have successfully managed to create a token that returns the sender of an email for mass mailings, using this variable $job to call the API and retrieve the required info. Here's the API call that retrieves the first and last names of the creator of such a mass mailing:
    if (!empty($job)) {

      //Create a token to put in the name of the creator of the mailing

      // given the job id, retrieve the mailing id.
      // given the mailing id, retrieve the contact id of the creator of the mailing.
      // given the contact id, retrieve the first and last name of the creator of the mailing.
      $result = civicrm_api3('MailingJob', 'getsingle', [
        'sequential' => 1,
        'return'     => ["mailing_id.created_id.first_name", "mailing_id.created_id.last_name"],
        'id'         => $job,
      ]);
}

'Personal' / Activities Mailings Token
However, for mailings that are not mass mailings, this technique does not work, since such mailings appear not to have a job id, and are stored not in the civicrm_mailings table, but the civicrm_activities table.
I have examined the incoming contents into the hook_civicrm_tokenValues hook. They are $values, $tokens, and $context.
$tokens appears to list which tokens are being used in the particular mailing being processed.
$context appears to show in what context the hook is being called - in this case 'CRM_Activity_BAO_Activity'.
$values appears to show the values that are available to be used to construct tokens. These all appear to be values directly related to the contact being emailed e.g. first name, last name, display name, etc... There do not seem to be any in the list that I could use to call the API (or indeed query the database) to get the contact name of the person sending the email.
Is this simply not possible, or is there  a way of doing so?
Ideally, one would be able to access the activity_id of the activity that the mailing was part of. If that was available, calling the API to retrieve the email creator (using the civicrm_activities_contact table) would be trivial.


texts: CiviCRM Entity display shows email addresses - should only show display name

texts:
I have a content type in Drupal ('Event') that uses an entity reference autocomplete field to search the name of the submitting organization.  The entity reference field only displays contacts that meet a filter criteria, as set in the entity reference view.

When the content type with the entity reference field was originally set up, it functioned as expected.  About a month ago I noticed the display was suddenly showing the submitting organizations' email address in addition to just their name.  The problem is specifically in the display of the event after it has been created (the way the name appears in the autocomplete widget is fine).

The display was originally:
"Event facilitator: Random Organization Name"

Now, it appears like this, with the addition of their email address:
"Event facilitator: Random Organization Name <random@organization.com>"

I'd rather not have their email addresses be displayed.

Thinking that it might have had something to do with an update, we downgraded  CiviCRM Entity back to version 7.x-2.0-beta11, but the problem persists.

Has anybody experienced this issue?  Any help or insight is greatly appreciated.

texts: How to set specific social meta tags for specific contribution pages

texts:
It would be very useful to be able to set specific social meta tags for specific contribution pages, but I can't seem to find any way to do this (definitely not in CiviCRM, there doesn't seem to be a module to do this in Drupal 7).

The idea would be to set og:image and twitter:image for specific contribution pages, which is fairly important for donation pages. Right now, it doesn't appear that these tags are set at at all; Facebook and Twitter just use the top image on the page.

Two challenges here that I see:
1) I can't add content to a specific contribution page, only to /civicrm/contribute/transact, which adds to all contribution pages.
2) I can't add content in the head of the page.

Is there a clever way to make this work?


texts: How can you provide a volume discount on event tickets?

texts:
I have a paid event and I am allowing users to register multiple participants. If they register more that 8 people then I want to provide a discount. In the way you might allow someone to purchase a table of 8 which costs less than 8 individual tickets to encourage them to bring friends. I want them to register 8 participants rather than using a price set to purchase a "table" because I want to collect information about each contact that is participating.

Is there a way to do this directly in CiviCRM?

I am aware I could probably make it work through webform_civicrm but would rather do it directly if possible so we do not have to build webforms for each event as well.

Unsubscribe links from mailings load the confirmation page correctly, with the correct partially obscured test****@domain.org. But when I fill in the email address and click Unsubscribe, it displays:

Sorry, due to an error, we are unable to fulfill your request at the moment. You may want to contact your administrator or service provider with more details about what action you were performing when this occurred.
Missing Parameters
Return to home page.

I turned debugging on, and it shows it failing on line 574 of CRM/Core/Form.php
That line is calling preProcess(), which is defined in Utils/Request.php. The "Missing Parameters" exception is thrown there when jid, qid, or h can't be found.
I wrote the $this object to a log file, and it does show the correct jid, qid, and h in _submitValues -> entryURL. But jid, qid, and h aren't extracted and stored one by one anywhere.
That's as far as I can think to go. I'm not sure how those are supposed to be extracted and made available for preProcess to retrieve(), so I'm not sure what to look at next. Thoughts?
Also, on some of the backend pages, I sometimes get a popup in the upper right with the same "Missing Parameters" error. The pages seem to work normally though, and it hasn't happened enough for me to intuit a pattern.
I did try disabling all Wordpress plugins except CiviCRM, but that didn't change the behavior.
Maybe relevant: when I migrated, and ran the database upgrade after unpacking the latest CiviCRM files, the upgrade timed out twice(?) in the middle of running. (I believe php-fpm timeout was set to the default 30 seconds.) I reloaded the upgrade page and it seemed to resume the upgrade just fine, with no errors. But maybe that caused a problem?
Thanks for any pointers!


texts: Neither Advanced Search nor Search Builder offer option to save as Smart Group

texts:
The documentation says I should be able to save a search as a Smart Group, but I don't see an option anywhere to do so. I've used both Advanced Search and Search Builder. Neither results screen offers anything to click or select to save.

texts: Hiding Extra Profiles when Manually Adding/Editing Registrant

texts:
I have a site that has multiple different event types on it. Each of these event types have a different profile associated with the event.

The client has back-end access to CiviCRM and when they try to manually register a person for an event it shows all of the profiles, not just the one associated with the event. Some of these fields are required fields, so the client then has to put something in them to finish the registration or save the edit.

Is there a way to have all of the profiles that haven't been associated with an event type to not display in the back-end when editing or adding a registrant.


texts: CiviCRM, Ubercart, and donations through the shopping cart

texts: I know that UC CiviCRM creates a "purchases" tab in the CiviCRM contact view that links purchases made through an Ubercart store. Is it possible to set the Financial Type per product in the Ubercart store? For example, rather than requiring a shopping cart checkout and then a completely separate donation process, it makes sense from a usability standpoint to allow a supporter to add a donation to an Ubercart checkout process (using a UC Variable Price product, for example). It would be nice to be able to do this and have the donation push into CiviCRM automatically, but I have a feeling it is not so easy. Am I right, and if so, what would be the best way to implement this?


texts:
I've been thinking about different ways to create a report that displays case notes (in other words, case activities). These are the two options I've considered, but with some limitations. How do you, or organizations you work with, tackle this problem?

The options include:

1. CiviReport - Use the "Activity Details" report and set the filter: Include Case Activities to "Yes."

Limitation: Cannot filter case activities by "Case Type." This will be important because one may only want to see case activities by a certain team.
Printing: Generally, "Print Report" is clean. "Print to PDF" may need some CSS work to display case notes that are really long in length.

2. Drupal Views - Create a View with the CiviCRM Activities. Use filter to expose criterias (e.g., Case Type, etc).

Limitation: None other than printing.
Printing: Some clients may have 800+ case notes. Currently, I do not believe there is a way to print multiple pages.


texts: Upgrade to 4.6.6 : how to configure mysql server?

texts:
I upgraded Civicrm to 4.6.6 (next 4.6.7) and had a lot of problems since then. My sql server has started consuming much more memory while everything was allright before the upgrade with 512M of RAM.
After the upgrade, the server crashed because it was overconsuming memory. It never happened before. I lowered the values (of cache and tmp tables). I had then a issue with max connections reached. I restarted the server several times and try to find the good configuration but no success for now.
What is a fair configuration of mysql server with drupal 7 and civicrm 4.6.7?
Does anyone has an idea why the upgrade made this problem occur ?
Thanks a lot

texts: Existing organizations getting updated when new person signs up with the same org name

texts:
We have a civi membership contribution form that is on behalf of an organization. Right now, when new members sign up, if their organization has the same name as an existing organization, civi renews and updates the existing organization instead of creating a new organization. And the new member also gets added to the existing organization.

The dedupe rules for contacts don’t seem to have an effect on organizations for "on behalf of" contribution forms.

What is the best way to make sure a new organization is created and a new membership is created every time a user signs up?

texts: (How) Is it possible to add text-links to a report?

texts:
This is to create a dashlet - hence links do make sense!

I know how to add a column to an existing template and create a new report template from scratch.

In each case my limitation is that I am reliant on database fields.

In the dashlet template that comes with CiviCRM I see this:

{sClass:'crm-contact-activity-links', bSortable:false},

But I don't know how to use this in a report.

I am editing a copy of the Activity Report template (safely copied to my custom php folder)


texts: Failed contribution does not re-run if reject code is REJ:25 Capture card. Reported lost or stolen

texts:
We have our iATS Payment Settings failure count settings set to 3. In general this causes a failed donation to run for 2 consecutive days after the initial failed attempt. This would be 3 failed attempts in total. After the third failed attempt, Civi sets the next scheduled date to the following month.

However, if the transaction fails with a REJ:25 Card lost or stolen code, the transaction does not attempt to re-run the transaction at all set the next scheduled date to the following month.

Is this a core feature of civi or is this a bug in our set up?


texts:
We are using CiviCRM in multi language mode (CiviCRM 4.6 on Drupal 7).

How can I accomplish that?


texts: Multilingual support and database issues -- how many languages?

texts:
I am considering enabling multiple languages (in CiviCRM 4.6.12 with Drupal) and would like to hear from those of you who've done so about your experiences. Specifically, how many languages are you using, and have you observed any database problems as a result?

I read in a discussion here that enabling more than 2-3 languages can lead to database problems. This presentation from CiviCon 2013 gives the number as 3-4. Has anyone successfully used more than 4?

Are there other pitfalls of multilingual support I should be aware of, even if I stick to only 2-3 languages?


texts: Events Not Searchable in Register Participant Form

texts:
Environment:

Drupal 7.63
CiviCRM 5.9.1
PHP 7.0

We have seen this in two sites with this environment so far, immediately after updating to 5.9.1.

The Problem:

Go to a contact page.
Click on the Events tab.
Click on Add Event Registration.
The "Event" box says "- select event -" but is not searchable and does not show the dropdown of events.

Note that it does work if you get to this same form through some the Manage Events dashboard or through the direct "Register Event Participant" link on the menu. It's only if you do it through the contact page that it fails.


texts: How can I completely remove previous improperly uninstalled CiviVolunteer?

texts:
I'm trying to install the CiviVolunteer extension (Drupal 7, Civi 5), but am getting this error message in response:

Field: name must be unique. An conflicting entity already exists - id: 186

It looks like the developer had previously installed and enabled the extension, but then manually deleted it, without also removing the CiviVolunteer data from the database.

Any suggestions for how to clean up the leftover CiviVolunteer data, or another way that I can reinstall the extension?

UPDATE -

No luck with executing the mysql commands (cannot find tables), and unable to reinstall the CiviVolunteer extension (which is ultimately what I'm after). Receiving the same error message as above, and this screen when I return to the extensions page:

texts: Why do I have GenCodeChecksum uncommitted changes after a fresh civibuild create?

texts:
I just created a new site with buildkit:

$ civibuild create foo --url http://foo --type drupal-demo

Then I went into CiviCRM and looked at the git repo

$ cd ~/buildkit/build/foo/sites/all/modules/civicrm
$ git status

and I see:

    modified:   CRM/Case/DAO/Case.php
    modified:   CRM/Core/DAO/AllCoreTables.data.php
    modified:   CRM/Financial/DAO/PaymentProcessor.php

Why? I would expect the repo to be clean after a fresh install. The diffs for these files show a different value for GenCodeChecksum within the docblock header for the file, and that's the entirety of the uncommitted changes. What's going on here?

texts: How do I apply a patch supplied in the issue queue via Git?

texts:
A link was graciously provided to a PR on GitHub to fix an issue that I am watching in the Jira issue queue.  The fix is only one line of code that changes a display, so I am confident applying the fix without upgrading my installation will not have unintended consequences in this particular case.

Obviously, I can change the one line of code by hand, but in the interest of trying to use best practices, I'd like to understand the best way of using Git itself to apply the change. I have Git installed on my server and use a private GitHub repository for our organization's code base.

The "GitHub for CiviCRM" documentation (http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/GitHub+for+CiviCRM) is geared towards those contributing to the codebase rather than those who need to apply a supplied fix.


texts:
My server host has informed me that Yahoo has massively throttled emails send from CiviMail (and thus we may be close to being blacklisted).

I have created a temporary smart group for all yahoo email addresses, to exclude from all mailings for the time being - but obviously just excluding all yahoo recipients forever is not an optimal solution to this problem.

I'm not getting bounces from this list. It's about 20,000 recipients total, about 4k of which are yahoo addresses. We send about 1-3 emails every other week or so.

Does anyone have any ideas on a workaround to maybe throttle the email delivery to Yahoo addresses separately from the rest of our list, or otherwise convince Yahoo that we're not spamming them?

texts: testing recurring contributions -- gone wrong!

texts:
Please help!

I've made a new recurring contribution page for membership renewals. I tested to contribution page to make sure recurring contributions would go through -- they went through so I thought it was all good to go.

I tested the page the following week just to make sure it was still running smoothly and... nothing. Now, anytime I submit one-time member dues (i.e. a one-time contribution of $30) it works fine, but once I add that I want to contribute that amount of money every month, on the user side it says the payment went though Authorize for processing, but it doesn't show up in Authorize and it doesn't record anything in Civi.

Curiously, after I complete a transaction, I "told a friend" and then that action showed up in my activities in Civi. That is to say, something is connecting, but recurring transactions are just not.

I've submitted them under my name and another's. Both unsuccessful.

Payment processor: Authorize.net
Civi version: 5.17.5
Drupal core version: 8.7.8


texts: Why am I getting duplicate contacts for contributions?

texts: I am getting dupes created when contributing.  Contribution pages use the 'Unsupervised' dedupe rule, which I have set to First name, Last name & email, assigning 10 to each with a threshold of 30.  But then I am getting duplicate contacts created every time, with exact matches on all three fields.  When I change the value of email to 20 and set the threshold to 20 a match is made & no dupe. It seems that first name and last name are being ignored and only email is working. Am I misunderstanding something here?  Could this be a bug? Using Stripe 4.7.2, Civi 4.7.24 with Drupal 7.

I have activated "Sales tax" as per [the documentation], including adding Financial Type and Accounts ("Arrangemangsavgift inkl. moms"):

I've also set my event to use the Finacial Type to the one in the picture. But there is no sign of any "moms" (=VAT). Particularly I'd like to have my event registration page clearly state the VAT.

Update: I have a Price Set which uses the Financial Type:

And I've explicitly set the Financial Type of the event to use it too:

I don't see any summary/breakdown with VAT on the registration page, and any contribution created by a registration does not have such a breakdown either.

What is a good checklist to get VAT for event registrations to work? Or maybe, why does not ours work ;-)


texts: How do we tie groups or memberships to a product and be able to mail with it?

texts:
We are new to CiviCRM and have consulted both this forum and the book + videos. Still at a loss for a solution.

We have multiple publications with different people titles associated with it. (e.g. Publication A + Editor, Author, Reviewer, etc.). The titles can also be connected in another way (e.g. Editor + Publication A, Publication B, Publication C).

We attempted to set up smart groups with the Title + Publication (A,B,C) but then when we wanted to create a second smart group with Title2 + Publication (C,B,A) and have it connect to a mailing list, it said "error- that group already exists."

Q - How do we achieve the need of having to connect these titles and publications using groups or memberships?

Q - Can memberships be a smart group?

Q - Do we make Publications as a group, and Titles as a membership? Or use fields for one or the other?

Thanks in advance.

texts: Case reports only work properly for originating user - bug or as designed (or both)?

texts:
A user has reported that doing an 'Export to CSV' from a case report works OK when she does it, but doesn't work for a user 'B' - even though user 'B' has the correct access (we're using ACLs).  Masquerading as user 'B' not only does export to CSV not work, but user 'B' doesn't get access to the report criteria.  This is on 5.28.3 but I have a test system at 5.35.1. and it's the same. Other non-case reports work as expected for user 'B'
 If I create a case report when masquerading as user 'B' then the report works OK and export to CSV works too.  If I then masquerade as user 'C' and access the report that user 'B' created I don't get the report filter and cannot export to CSV.

I can't reproduce this when not using ACLs and also not on the demo site as it's not possible to add users.  Is this a known limitation of case reports or a bug? Or am I missing something else?  I'm surprised there's no discussion on here about this.

texts: On upgrade from 4.5.8 to 4.6.2 CiviCRM menu disappears until scroll, then scrambled

texts:
The issue: after upgrade the CiviCRM menu will not appear at the top over the Drupal menu. It does not appear at all unless I scroll down the page a short ways and then it appears on the upper left apparently without theming (see image).

I have now tried to upgrade several times and each time the same issue happens again. I have tried changing permissions, re-uploading a new set of 4.6.2 and following upgrade instructions carefully.

This site is basic and has no particular customizations... it is a shared hostgator account. I am running the latest Drupal 7 version and have upgraded CiviCRM at least a dozen times in the past with no issues. Perhaps I have some particular issue only on my setup, but wondering if anyone else is having a similar issue. Perhaps I'll need to wait until the next release and try again. Thanks.


texts: Titles of CiviCRM pages on Wordpress and subsequent title issues when shared via social media

texts:
This was once posted before - not sure if work has been done in the past 3 years.

As Andrew Hunt pointed out, on wordpress you either embed content as short codes or you link directly to content using a URL such as http://yoursite.org/civicrm?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/contribute/transact&reset=1&id=1 These CiviCRM URLs actually take the page that's before the question mark and replace all the content.

Essentially if you are not using a shortcode on a wordpress page, you cannot have the title of the event, contribution, etc page display as the title. While this is not the case with Drupal, in Drupal the title will appear as it is supposed to.

Since sharing event links via social media displays the title of the event, rather than the title of the page. We always have to manually change them via facebook and other sites. Below are two examples using the calendar or civicrm event links.

The core issue is making sure that the event page displayed is actually the event title and not the wordpress page.

I see them in Administer - System Settings - Option Groups, but it doesn't have any definition of what they are.  Neither Administer - Customize Data and Screens - Date Preferences nor Administer - Localization - Date Formats have them.

Specifically, I'd like to add something like "Empty or prior to this year".  I know that this might be a bit much to ask even if I can customize it, but I thought I'd find where I could edit the settings.

texts: Can I control access to specific price sets with ACL?

texts:
I have two primary member types. Full Members (FM) and Associate Members (AM). I need to keep all the pricing for both groups completely separate and since AM joins to have access to FM, they pay all of the sponsorships and event booth fees. We want to restrict the FM from even seeing those pages. I'm accustomed to Joomla ACL, but the shop I've joined is working in WP, so the ACL seems less fine tuned and I'm not seeing a clear path to manage this task of keeping both groups ignorant of the fees that the other pays.

Where they both register for events, I'm applying an automatic discount for the FM group, but I'm not clear how to essentially create a category or tag that restricts access to only one group. Am I missing something in the documentation?


texts:
is it possible to create new contacts using remote html forms?

we have three different websites related to different activities of the organization.

we would like to create adding contact forms on each of these websites and have the form perform data-entry to a single civicrm running on a separate wordpress installation.

Is it possible? How?


texts: Front-end file upload - no error when file exceeds upload_max_filesize

texts:
We have a couple of public profiles that include file fields for users to upload images.

Our php.ini upload_max_filesize is set to 4 MB, and people with files that exceed this, submit the form and receive a positive "Thank you. Your information has been saved." message, but the file is not actually saved. (And a previous file in that field is not overwritten.)

Is there a way I can have Civi give a helpful (i.e. accurate!) response in this case, or is it a CMS thing (Joomla 3.7.5), or is this a Civi limitation/bug that would be good to report on Jira?


texts: PSA for CiviCRM vulnerability released 7/18/18?

texts:
I've received an notice from our Civi support saying that
"The CiviCRM Security team has issued a Public Security Advisory regarding a security vulnerability.  The fixes to this vulnerability will be released to the public on July 18th."

I was interested in getting some background, but I can't find the PSA. Can someone please point me toward it? Or is Civi just supplying that info to certain people in advance of the PSA being released on 7/18? Thanks!


texts: CiviCase - remember user choices in search filters for activities

texts:
We are using CiviCRM 5.5.3 and CiviCase on Wordpress 4.9.8

Similar to "make activity filter user preference an optional setting" CRM-20799
we wish to make the system remember user choices in case activity tab.
Currently all filters are remove with every refresh.

Alternatively we would be happy if we could set the field Status to "Scheduled" by default.

Any way to accomplish that.


texts: Is there a hook to impact custom data before it's saved?

texts:
I feel like I've hit this issue before and found a solution, but I'm drawing a blank right now. I need to be able to compare the value of a custom data field before it's saved in order to conditionally perform another action. For core fields I would typically do this with the pre hook -- as you can look up the existing value and compare with the value passed in the hook. But the pre hook is not hit with custom value updates (why?), and the custom hook is hit after the data is saved, so you can't compare with the prior value (it's basically the equivalent of the post hook, specific to custom data).

I'd rather not work with form hooks, as I want this to be universally triggered without me needing to track down all the forms where the data might be potentially updated.

Any suggestions?


texts:
I have a few Name Badge Formats entered in admin > system settings > option groups > name badge formats. One is a custom one that I've created and there are a few that were already there.

The Problem I'm having is that when I go to manage events and try to select a name badge format the select list has no options, I have no way of choosing anything. Is there something I need to do to enable these formats? If so, I'm not seeing that option anywhere.


texts: Datepicker / CKEditor won't load unless "Access CRM" is granted

texts:
Stumbled across this while setting up specific user roles. Created an "Event Manager" who requires access to creating events. ACL is just "Create Events".

User can access the Event creation URL just fine "/civicrm/event/add?reset=1&action=add".
They can edit the event (fill in fields, etc)
They can press "Continue" to save the event.

They CANNOT do the following until they are granted "Access CiviCRM" permissions:

Use CKEditor (it does not load)
Or the datepicker (it does not load)

It appears additional javascript (or other scripts) are loaded when "Access CiviCRM" is checked.

If this is not a bug, can anyone advise where to look? The reason why we do not want to grant "Access CiviCRM" permissions is because of the Quick Search bar - to which there doesn't seem to be an ability to disable if "Access CiviCRM" is enabled.

texts: No run_time timestamp in civicrm_job_log

texts:
Currently, my civicrm_job_log is the largest table in our database. There was a post Can I safely trim civicrm_job_log and civicrm_log? that mentioned an extension that would keep this table trimmed based on an age. However, in my civicrm_job_log all the run_time timestamps are NULL. How can I get these recorded correctly so that I can keep this log trimmed? fwiw, the timestamps in civicrm_log, noting changes to the database, are filled in correctly [this is also a rather bloated table that I would like to trim]. So, two questions [sorry]

How do I get non-NULL run_times in my job log table?
How can I best manage civicrm_log and civicrm_job_log?


texts: How do I search for the exact string match using CiviCRM API

texts:
How do I perform Contact GET for the contact with the exact display name which will return only contacts with that exact display name?

Say I create two users xyz and xyzA

$result = civicrm_api3('Contact', 'create', array(
  'sequential' => 1,
  'contact_type' => "Individual",
  'display_name' => "xyz",
));

$result = civicrm_api3('Contact', 'create', array(
  'sequential' => 1,
  'contact_type' => "Individual",
  'display_name' => "xyzA",
));

The flowing get request always returns both contacts (xyz and xyzA)

$result = civicrm_api3('Contact', 'get', array(
  'sequential' => 1,
  'display_name' => "xyz",
));

I want my API call to return only users with a display name xyz.
How would I do this?

There is an option to turn off Automatic Wildcard, but that would affect the entire website and all the users. Is there a way around this?

texts: What could be causing this issue in the CK Editor

texts:
CiviCRM emails don't display uploaded images to the recipients.
I think that the problem is that when I upload the image it sets the image src URL to "site/default/files/..." and doesn't include "http://www.mysite.com".
When I go in and manually enter "http://www.mysite.com", everything works.

How do I fix this so that when I upload an image it includes the base URL in the image's src URL?


texts: When Paypal Standard pay as Guest (no paypal account) Session Expired message on Thank You

texts:
I'm using CiviCRM 4.7 with paypal standard.  When someone proceeds to paypal and chooses the guest option (no account) to pay with credit card, it processes normally.  Yet, when returning to the CiviCRM they get the contribution page form again (not the 'thank you page') and a message that 'session expired'.  This behavior is consistent across these browsers: Chrome, Edge.

Anyone seen this?  Is there a setting or change within CiviCRM to prevent this?  People are confused and making a second donation.
