texts: What happens if a site "flattens" the location types in CiviCRM?

texts:
CiviCRM has multiple location types ("home", "work", "postal", "billing").

The contact DB I'm working with has no distinction, and the types don't add value for this contact. The location types were renamed as "Location 1", "Location 2", etc during data import. The client desires to eliminate the need to choose a given location type.

I believe there are some parts of CiviCRM which still expect a dedicated "Billing" location type, however (eg search for CRM_Core_BAO_LocationType::getBilling()).

What expectations does CiviCRM make about a dedicated Billing address type? AFAICT, this is somewhat "magic" in that CRM_Core_BAO_LocationType::getBilling() looks for a location type with a name of "Billing".
What issues arise if the Billing location type is renamed or deleted?
What other considerations might there be when modifying CiviCRM's builtin location types?

texts: Send a contact to CiviCRM only if the user check a specific checkbox in a Contact Form 7?

texts:
I am aware that there is a Wordpress plugin to "link" Wordpress plugin Contact Form 7 and CiviCRM.

But I wonder if there is a way to send to CiviCRM the data of a user who filled the form ONLY if he/she checks a specific checkbox or acceptance box.

This is fundamental to comply with the GDPR.

Thank you in advance.


texts: How to update contact email with JavaScript API?

texts:
I'm trying to update a contact and, especially, the email address. As far as I can tell using the API explorer, this is the correct JavaScript code for that:

            crmApi('Contact', 'create', {
          id: myContact.id,
          first_name: myContact.first_name,
          last_name: myContact.last_name,
          middle_name: myContact.middle_name,
          "api.Email": myContact.email
        })

It correctly updates the names, but not the email. Does anyone see what I have wrong?

texts: CiviMobile won't login: "Server API Error" Drupal

texts:
Using CiviCRM 5.13.5 and Drupal 7.67.

I'm trying to install CiviMobile but am getting an error that says "Server API Error" when trying to login on my mobile phone.

The steps I followed are as follows:

Downloaded "CiviMobile API" from https://civicrm.org/extensions/civimobileapi
Installed "CiviMobile API" (4.0.2) through CPanel in the same way that I've installed other extensions in the past (/default/files/civicrm/ext)
Installed the extension on civicrm/admin/extensions?reset=1
Had a message pop up on that page saying that my CiviCRM now supports the CiviMobile extension and a prompt to head to the app store to download the CiviMobile app
Downloaded the CiviMobile app (iPhone, IOS 11.2.1) and filled in my credentials on the login screen
Put in my correct username and password that I use to access CiviCRM on the computer, and filled in the URL (with https://) through which I access CiviCRM'
Received the "Server API Error" message. I get the same error message when I use the following variations of the URL: https://URL.com/loginpage and https://www.URL.com/loginpage (However the URL we use is https://URL.com/loginpage)
When I type in the URL as http://URL.com/loginpage or www.URL.com/loginpage I get the error message "Please install CiviMobile extension in your CiviCRM" however I don't think this is important since we use https

Not sure what else to try here, does any one have any insights? I'm sure I've put in my correct credentials.

Thanks in advance


texts:
Wordpress 4.9.5 / CiviCRM 4.7.31 / GDPR extension 2.1

How do I pass tokens to the GDPR communications preference page (using Veda's extension)?

I've got the Communications Preference link working (not quite as formatted in the extension control panel, I think it's a Drupal / WP thing);

https://yoursite.org/civicrm/?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/gdpr/comms-prefs/update

Which works great (when I'm logged in). However, when I visit as an anonymous user, I get a blank page. I could ask all my contacts to re-type their details in, however, the scope for errors / duplication / drop-out makes this less than ideal.

I can format an email to send a token to update a profile but that doesn't pick up the GDPR consent date / data:

https://yoursite.org/?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/profile/edit&reset=1&gid=profileID&id=userID&cs=checkSum

When I try and pass those tokens I get a blank form, so it's not picking up the userID and loading the relevant data from the db:

https://yoursite.org/civicrm/?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/gdpr/comms-prefs/update&id=userID&cs=checkSum

I'm pretty sure this is possible (the built in tokens should provide this function), however, the built in tokens don't seem to generate valid links or URLs (or indeed anything).

{contact.comm_pref_supporter_link}

{contact.comm_pref_supporter_url}

I can include {contact.checksum} and preview email as html and see a checksum, but the comm_pref tokens stay as {contact....}

If someone can post a valid tokenised Communications Preference page I can probably reverse engineer something.

So again, not sure if Drupal / WP related or some other missing dependancy?

I'm looking at a class in CRM_Utils_Cache here specificly and it looks exactly like what I need to write some unit tests against my extension.

For this reason I'm wonder if there is a downside to changing this (and maybe other) properties to protected?

texts: How do I batch update a standard custom field for event participants?

texts:
I have lots of profiles which allow me to batch update records. All of the profiles show as an option when I have used a normal contact search to identify individuals. However, when I search for event participants very few batch update profiles are available. The Civibook says: If you wish to update participant fields, you must do the update from a Find Participants search (and only include participant fields in your profile).

The fields I want to update for event participants are normal custom fields which weren't created for or linked to a specific event. Is it possible to include these fields in a profile which then shows up as an option when I choose Batch Update for event participants? (I tried to add some of these fields to a current profile which showed up for event participants but after I'd added them the profile disappeared from the list!)

My current workaround is to select event participants, create a new smart group and then use that smart group with my multiple batch update profiles. It's fine but adds another layer of work when dealing with tens of different events. Many thanks.

texts:
I have a case and it has some activities which are assigned to Betty. But when I visit Betty's contact record the activities are not listed there, neither is the case, in fact there seems to be absolutely no trace that this activity has been assigned to them.

Is this the designed behaviour, and if so, why?

I understand GoCardless can accept a one-off payment but it looks as if the extension written for Civi may not yet have any way to connect to the GoCardless one-off bill resource. Does anyone know if that's the case?

We had been trying to set up two contribution pages (membership options): one for recurring monthly payments and the other for annual, non-recurring payments. For the annual payments, on the amounts tab, we did try leaving the checkbox for Recurring Contributions unticked but naturally, on testing, GoCardless throws an error: Interval length can't be blank - Interval unit must be "day", "week" or "month".

Any thoughts? Should we just use another payment processor for the non-recurring payments?

texts: Setting Up CiviCRM Multisite on Wordpress

texts:
I run 2 sites on a Wordpress multisite. One of the sites has CiviCRM installed, and I want to hook up the second site to be able to access the Civi db as well. The first site is our main organization's website and handles membership, events, etc. The second site is a dedicated to one of our large annual events.

I am hoping to be able to access the Civi database from the second site to display the events in CiviEvent and allow for event registrations from the second site. That way people who register for the site will be added to our main Civi user database, rather than keeping track of two separate databases on each website.

The instructions on setting up a multisite in Civi seem quite complicated, so I am wondering if it is worth it to use multisite... Is this something that multisite can do? Is it worth doing, or is it far too difficult for too little reward?


texts: How can I use the billing block and the invoicing feature to facilitate invoicing a third party?

texts:
Here's my use case, which I'm guessing might be quite common:

End user visits the site and registers for an event/membership, etc., but rather than pay themselves using their own card/Paypal a/c, etc., they want to optionally provide a purchase order reference and get an invoice that is made out to their employer (or similar), so that the employer can pay the bill.

It feels like the billing block and the invoicing feature are close to being able to meet a need like this, but there doesn't yet seem to be any obvious way to make the required alterations.

What I'm seeing as default behaviour is that the invoice does use the billing address, but not the billing name (it seems to ignore this and use the contact's name instead - which makes me wonder why there is an option to enter a billing name at all, especially as there's no apparent UI to edit it or indeed do anything with it.

And then there's the billing block itself. If I could use a profile of my choosing for the billing block, then I could include the fields I want, such as employer's name, purchase order reference and/or other custom fields, etc. I see there's this Billing Block Adjustment extension (https://civicrm.org/extensions/billing-block-adjustment), which might possibly do the trick. Anyone using that have any advice about what it can provide?

And then, assuming I can get all of that doing what I want, there's the issue of getting the right fields into the invoice layout, which I assume is doable using tokens or similar?

Am I going in the right direction with this, or is there a better way?


texts:
I am running CiviCRM 5.11.0.
I have an Unsupervised Rule which matches Individual Contacts on First Name, Last Name and Postcode, BUT the Contact Address is inherited from an associated Household, not directly owned by the Individual. The main input mechanism is a Webform containing both the Household and the Individual.

Invoking the rule from the Webform fails to find a duplicate with all three fields identical.
Invoking the rule manually from the 'Find and Merge Duplicates' page also fails.
Creating a new Contact by registering a new Drupal User, with the registration Profile including the three relevant fields, does work correctly. So some part of the system is capable of finding the right field to match.

If I use say the email address instead of Postcode, then the rule works as expected.

This looks like a bug to me, it is certainly unexpected behaviour.  The only workaround I can see is to use the Webform to copy the Postcode into a field for the Individual which will get picked up by the rule, but this is messy, and fragile if say the postcode changes after the Contact is created.

Are there any other ideas?

Thanks, Tony

texts: Tracking completed transactions on CiviCRM in Google Analytics

texts:
We have a Drupal site using CiviCRM and I would like to track how many times users go to our membership, subscription, and donation pages and then complete those respective transactions. In setting up a Google Analytics conversion goal, we successfully set up one for when someone lands on the pages, but apparently did not set it up correctly for the completion.
We set up three goals, with each counting how many people landed on a thank-you page (civicrm/contribute/transact?_qf_ThankYou_display=true) after coming from either the membership, subscription, or donation CiviContribute page respectively, as such:

But we're getting the exact same number for each goal, suggesting it's just counting how many times someone ends on the Thank-you page regardless of where they come from. As you can see from the third screenshot below, we are getting 135 for the Thank-you pages (Goal 4, 5, or 6 Completions), regardless of it being a Join, Subscribe, or Donate page that got them there. That number is close to what I'm seeing in Civi, though not exactly.

Any advice on how to fix that would be helpful.

I am trying to send an Activity-triggered scheduled reminder to a group. These contacts will not be otherwise associated with the Activity.

Recipients > Send to group doesn't seems to be working and there's something in the documentation that suggests only members of the group that also meet some other criteria (Activity associated contacts?) will get the email, but this isn't clear.

So maybe it would work to use the 'Limit or Add Recipients' > 'Also include' option. But this doesn't exist in scheduled reminders only for Entity type = Activity.

Thinking about asking someone to write an extension to override this on our site, but want to check there's not some deep reason this is omitted for Activities.

Or maybe it's a bug, and Recipients > Send to group is supposed to work...?

texts: CiviBoxOffice, subscriptions, seat maps, Fusiontickets

texts:
Years ago (2011-12) someone at the Bay Area Children's Theater worked on a seat map/subscription extension for CiviEvents. Is there anything new out there working today. (Fusiontickets seems to have disappeared and was required.)
We created a CiviCRM site for a community orchestra which offers a subscription series with assigned seating (and renewals available for the same "owned" seats like other season ticketholders might have.) Pricing is not dependent on seat type, but on age group of attendees (Senior/Adult/Student/Child) with single ticket sales at one rate (actually at 2: advanced sales and box office) and 4-concert and 3-concert subscription rates.
For all these assigned seating events, users select their seat from a map of the venue.
Has anyone done something similar within CiviCRM?

In 4.7, when managing a case, I try to reassign a role to another contact, but it adds a new one.

It should delete the old relationship. The button is an 'edit' pencil and the hover text says 'reassign'. There is a separate add role button.

The function that is invoked is relationship() in CRM/Contact/Page/AJAX.php but the "cid" value is not set (this should be the Contact Id of the current person holding that role). So the existing relationship is not deleted.

texts:
We noticed after upgrading to CiviCRM v5.17.0 that when you create a new individual record, and add an address and have it shared with another Household record's address, the option to automatically build the "household member of" relationship no longer happens automatically like it used to.

We DID notice that if one shares the address with an ORGANIZATIONAL record, there is a toggle to set that organizational record as the employer, which then updates the "employer" field AND also builds the "employee of" relationship.

Is there any way to restore the automatic relationship linking with the household record when an address is shared with an individual record from a household record? Or at least generate a toggle button to create the relationship on save?

There are some common settings to change for dev sites at mycivi.localhost/civicrm/admin/setting/debug.  How can those be changed from the command line?

A better answer for the question How should I copy a site from production to staging? would include this information I think.

I see on https://docs.civicrm.org/sysadmin/en/latest/misc/staging-production/ that $civicrm_setting['domain']['environment'] = 'Development'; can be placed in civicrm.settings.php, which I would expect would be sufficient(though it doesn't seem to affect what's displayed at /civicrm/admin/setting/debug)... but what about other settings like debugging and backtrace?

If I do drush vget I get a list of all kinds of Drupal settings that can be changed via drush vset.  Does CiviCRM have a comparable utility?  I tried cv and wondered if cv vars:show and cv vars:fill might be corresponding commands, but if they are I don't know how to use them to do anything useful.


texts: Is there a way to disable the wysiwyg editor when editing mail templates?

texts:
I'm trying to add the "shortlink" html schema so my users on gmail can have the direct link to RSVP to the event or confirm their signature for the petition

Unfortunately, the editor on civicrm fubar the html to the point gmail can't recognise it anymore

Is this possible to disable the editor only when editing the mail template? So my users still have the wysiwyg editor when composing their mail, just the admins being able to write nice html templates without having the html editor messing up

texts: How can Stripe extension create contact sub-type?

texts: We implemented the Stripe extension for online payments and are delighted with it. Using a standard contribution page (not a webform) new contacts are created as the basic contact type of 'Individual'. But... we have sub-typed contact types and would like the contact type created here to be a contact sub-type of 'Individual contact'.  This doesn't appear possible using the UI but maybe I missed something.    I don't want to use a webform because recurring contributions don't work with Stripe but they do with the standard contribution page. Any ideas on how to select a contact sub-type ?


texts: How to disable datepicker UI for a mobile device

texts:
I like the datepicker UI, but many people don't.

We require date of birth on a few forms.  Each week I get at least one complaint that someone can't fill out the form on a mobile. Not sure if a bug or user error. I think the easiest thing is to disable it for mobiles.  Ideally, have an icon to trigger it.

I was wondering if there is a clever /safe way to use css for this so we can use @media queries to disable for mobile devices.

I was experimenting with

#ui-datepicker-div {
z-index: -9999;
display: none!important;
}

which seems to work, but disables validation.  Looking for any other keen ideas.


texts:
We have memberships that are "fixed" from Jan 1 through Dec 31. This works fine except for that we want that if anyone creates or renews a membership in November or December, that their membership will be valid for this year and next year.

So if I create/renew my Membership in September 2019, I will be a member from then until December 2019.

But if I create/renew my Membership in November 2019, I will be a member from then until December 2020. Here I will get Nov/Dec of this year "for free" and then be a member for all of next year.

Presently, if I create/renew a Membership in November 2019, it ends December 2019.


texts: Importing phone/fax/mobile phone numbers from CSV.....best practices?

texts: Getting CORS error from CiviCRM dashboard dashlets

texts:
I've been having problems with a new install of CiviCRM 5.3 in Multisite on Wordpress.

It seems to be working properly in the main site.

My intent is to have one CiviCRM database that works across all the subsites, sharing the contact data.

On the subsites, when I go to the CiviCRM dashboard, I get the dreaded Network Error pop up. IN the Web Developer console it shows this error:

Access to Font at 'https://dev.domain.nz/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/bower_components/font-awesome/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.woff2?v=4.7.0' from origin 'https://crew.dev.domain.nz' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'https://crew.dev.domain.nz' is therefore not allowed access.

And the default and the Activities dashlets just spin with the CiviCRM logos.

If I remove those dashlets from the dashboard, then the problem goes away.

I would of course like to keep them.

I have added

Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"

to my .htaccess file for Wordpress. This did not help.

I'm sure that this isn't 100% a CiviCRM problem, but I'm not sure where else to ask...

Thanks,
Norm

texts: How can CiviCRM manage and deploy configuration?

texts:
Motivation: we're looking into building something in this space for a current project, so this question is intended to identify what approaches are already available / being utilised.

For multi-developer and multi-branch workflows, it would be beneficial to "wrap up" site configuration and have it able to be merged into the site before deployment.

I see that there are some approaches to this already:

Features CiviCRM is a (now-abandoned?) approach to using Drupal's Features module
CiviCRM Entity seems a good candidate for exporting entities in Drupal space, although it doesn't provide this currently
civix can scaffold code to import Case Types and Custom Fields
CiviCRM's hook_civicrm_managed can generate managed entities in CiviCRM.

For comparison, in host-CMS space there are different approaches also:

WordPress has an Options Importer plugin
Drupal 6 onwards has Features
Drupal 8 onwards has Configuration Management (and retains Features for "bundled" configurations)

My question here is: how are people managing and deploying configuration in CiviCRM today?

texts:
Scenario: based on a set of custom fields, we want to send a invite out to individuals for them to join a research study (set up as a group in civi).

I thought the way to go was to create a profile with the custom fields we need updating and then send it out via a campaign/survey. But cannot link the custom profile and the survey.

Do i have to have a campaign in order to set up a survey?
Are the custom fields on the correct entity (currently on entity contact).. should it be on activity instead? and then select the activity 'survey'... going round in circles on this!

Or am i looking in the wrong place using survey for this?  we would not be using any of the functionality on releasing/reserving respondents as they would be filling the data direct themselves.

Using campaigns/survey looks ideal in terms of getting an overview on individuals/engagement index etc

.........
alternative simpler question to the above.. how do you add custom questions to a survey which the target contact completes (not a door knocking interviewer)

texts: Dashboard does not render after updating civi version 4.6.9 to 4.6.10 and onwards to 4.6.11

texts:
I had two sites that both rendered the dashlets in the dashboard correct. When I upgraded the civicrm version from 4.6.9 to 4.6.10 that changed. Now I have two sites running civicrm 4.6.10 with joomla 3.4.6 as CRM.
In one the dashboard is rendered correctly, in the other the dashboard keeps loading when one or two dashlets are active. When there is no dashlet active the page renders correctly.

So two sites with the same cms-version, the same server (PHP 5.5.30), the same civiversion. Both are sub-domains. One renders dashlets one does not.
I tried both with acl-rights for joomla and for civicrm set to superuser.

Update to 4.6.11 did not change anything on this issue.

When I set Joomla error reporting to max neither reports anything wrong.

I read loads of post with advice on non-rendering dashboards. Cannot find something wrong after reading these.

Any advice?
Thanks,
Paul.

Installation instructions for civicrm-4.7.19-l10n.tar should be included as a step in Upgrading CiviCRM for WordPress/Joomla/Drupal. The Internationalisation (i18n) section accessible from Upgrade ... does not give download instructions either.
A zip version would be nice for WordPress at least. My client's IP does not have the ability to untar files. I have to untar unzip and rezip and add .zip each time before I download it.
It is unclear whether the zip files go into civicrm or civicrm\civicrm. As I download both files into the plugin directory for extraction, I assume it is civicrm. If it should be civicm\civicrm, then add the extra directory into the zip/tar file. Selectrum will only extract to the current directory. Yes, I wish I had SSH.

Thank you

texts: Changes not saving when using other contact's address

texts:
In our Joomla 3.4.1/CiviCRM 4.6.3 setup, we heavily depend on setting up households and linking people to them. For instance, if you become a contributor, the entire family is entitled to discounts, so we link the contribution to the household rather than individual people. Furthermore it helps us with duplicate entry of address information for people of the same household.

The situation is so that we create a household, then create contacts and link the contacts to the household using the "Use another contact's address" feature.

Recently however, after having done our initial data-entry and linking contacts to households in the above manner, I noticed that I could no longer edit most of my contact's information once their address was linked to another one.

In order to test this, I logged onto the demo site and created a fresh household and a contact. Set the contact's (home) address to that of the household using the "Use another contact's address" option and saved the contact.
Next I tried to edit the contact (using the 'Edit' button) and tried to enter an external ID. Upon clicking 'Save', CiviCRM says it has updated the contact, but in fact no change is visible.
I currently employ one of two workarounds:
1) For fields where it is possible to get an in place 'Ajax' edit-field, I use those because when I use that the change does get saved.
2) I temporarily uncheck 'Use another contact's address', make all my changes and save, go to Edit again and re-check (and select) the household address.

Of course, workaround 2 is kind of cumbersome, but unfortunately the only solution for fields that don't have an Ajax-type edit option such as External ID and contact photo.

Considering that the demo site behaves the same as my own installation, I'm inclined to submit a but-report to the Jira-tracker, but I would like to know if anyone else is seeing this same issue.


texts: How do I upgrade CiviCRM on a local site that I installed with buildkit civibuild?

texts:
A while back I did

$ civibuild create demo.local --type drupal-demo --url http://demo.local

and got a working local site running CiviCRM 4.7.9. Great.

Now I'd like to upgrade this site to 4.7.17.

I tried:

$ cd ~/buildkit/build/demo.local/sites/all/modules/civicrm
$ git fetch
$ git checkout 4.7.17
$ cv flush
$ drush civicrm-upgrade-db

The last command gives You are already upgraded to CiviCRM 4.7.9.

What did I miss?

EDIT:

Also I have tried:

$ git checkout master
$ git pull

as well as browsing to http://demo.local/civicrm/upgrade?reset=1 to perform the database upgrades (Which tells me "Your database has already been upgraded to CiviCRM 4.7.9")


texts: Can I change settings for a custom field set for participants without losing any data?

texts:
I have a custom field set that is currently configured to be used for participants. When it was set up it was configured to be targeted to just a couple of events. We now want to make this field set available for any event.

When I go into the settings for the custom field set and click on "Any" in the field labelled "Used for Participants (Event name)" Civi throws up a big warning message:

"Warning: You have chosen to remove one or more subtypes. This will cause any custom data records associated with those subtypes to be removed as long as the contact does not have a contact subtype still selected."

In practice I don't think I am removing anything, and in any event I don't actually understand what this warning means, but I can see why the alert is there.

So my question is: "Can I select the 'Any' option in this field - and by so doing deselect those specific events that were previously selected - without deleting any records?

texts: How to get Geocoding to use my Google API key?

texts:
I'm getting a Geocoding over-limit error, even though I've enabled a billing profile with my Google Maps Geocoding API key. (I hope! :) )

Using: Civi 4.6.14, Drupal 7.43,
Geocoding settings:
Mapping provided by Google, with my Google Maps Geocoding API key
Geocoding provided by Google, with the same Google Geocoding API key, on a standard account.
I have setup a billing profile with the key, so it should handle over-usage.
Scheduled job: geocoding=1, address parsing=1, throttle=1.

The Scheduled job returns this error:

  Parameters parsed (and passed to API method):  a:4:
  {s:7:"version";i:3;s:9:"geocoding";s:1:"1";s:5:"parse";s:1:"1";s:8:"throttle";s:1:"1";}

  Full message:  Finished execution of Geocode and Parse Addresses with
  result: Failure, Error message: A fatal error was triggered: Aborting
  batch geocoding. Hit the over query limit on geocoder.

Also, my Google developer's console shows no activity on my API key.

So, I'm wondering if I have missed something in Civicrm... for instance I found this link:
https://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Mapping+and+Geocoding
It says at the bottom:

  Usage Limits Some providers have usage limits on their Mapping and
  Geocoding APIs. If you go over the limits you may receive a overlimit
  error when trying to save an address. Currently there is no support
  for integrating the Google APIs Console license (which is needed for
  sites whose usage is over limit). Contact info at civicrm dot org if
  you are interested in helping implement this.

Does this mean that Civi can't handle over-billing?

OR: perhaps I have not configured my Google API key properly. I think I've set it to only accept connections from our server's IP, and with our domains.

Any ideas?

I've subsequently followed the advice here to switch mapping to Open Street Maps and Geocoding to Yahoo, and re-activated the Scheduled Job. That is currently running with no errors... :)

texts: What are ways to make CiviCRM more user-friendly for people who prefer spreadsheets?

texts:
Like many other organizations, I suspect, I work with great, dedicated organizers and other staff who prefer the relative speed and simplicity of creating and updating contact lists in spreadsheets rather than in CiviCRM.

A constant challenge is 'selling' users on the many reasons to use CiviCRM rather than creating a contact list in a spreadsheet, which I then must import. Requiring the use of CiviCRM is easy to say but, depending on the culture of an organization, sometimes difficult to do.

So: what are ways CiviCRM admins and users have used to coach/encourage such spreadsheet-preferring users to use CiviCRM?

One way that I will be promoting is using a Search View (based on a Profile) in Advanced Search with a Group previously created - this gives a 'spreadsheet-like' interface.

Thoughts appreciated!


texts: Pull data from Drupal entity reference field into CiviCRM?

texts:
I'm using Entity References and CiviCRM Entity to create some limited silent auction functionality.

In CiviCRM, I have an "In-Kind" contribution type with some custom fields for each donation of an item to be auctioned off.
In Drupal, I have an "Auction Package" content type for each group of one or more items that will be purchasable at auction.
I created an entity reference field in the auction package so that you can select which items are part of each package. (So you could combine, say, a hotel's gift of a one-night stay with a restaurant's donated gift certificate.)

So I've figured out how to pull CiviCRM information into Drupal. But is there a way to leverage the entity reference field in reverse to pull info from Drupal back into CiviCRM? I'd like to have a reference field in the contribution, or record the package number from the Drupal entity in the Civi contribution. How can I do this?

Note: This is a new system, and I'm fairly new to CiviCRM, so I'm open to doing things differently if reworking anything about the way I have this set up would make this work better.


texts: Can't log in to Drupal site: get redirected to random pages after submitting login form

texts:
I have one site with a very strange issue that I have been fighting for months and I'm clueless. All I know is that with CiviCRM disabled, the issue does not occur.

When I attempt to log in and submit the login form, instead of being logged in I get redirected to some random page and 404. For example, it will say

  Page /robots.txt not found

And I'm not logged in. The only way to log in is to disable CiviCRM via drush. Then everything works perfectly.

It's something in the DB because I can restore this DB to a fresh settings.php and civicrm.settings.php and the error persists.

The DB did go through an upgrade from D6 w/Civi4.5 to D7 w/Civi4.6, which is when the strange behavior started.

Thanks for your time and insights.

I'm working with a site (D7, Civi 5.35) that's about 4 or 5 years old and a number of 1)badly labelled or 2)duplicated or 3)both images have built up in the uploaded image folder
Some of these are images attached to activities and cases, some of them have been included in mailing and message templates and some have been added to event pages.
some users are starting to find that the kc finder image browser is slow to load, and also difficult to search. Which is contributing to the accumulation of crud in the folder.
I could probably dive in and delete a lot of images but am wary of doing so. For fear of leaving broken image placeholders in message templates and on event info pages.
Has anyone else faced this issue and can suggest approaches for clearing out the current folder, and better practices to stop this happening in future?
Any advice gratefully received.

I want to be able to filter organizations by tags. However, the reference in "Relations" is not available for tags even though it exists for groups : "CiviCRM Tags uses created_id" exists but not "CiviCRM Tags uses contact_id" as for CiviCRM Group.
Can you explain to me ?
Thank you for your help


texts: CiviContribute - convert amounts into words

texts: Is there a plugin that would populate a field with a word amount of a contribution total? Using such a token can make a letter more personalized. Similar to the SpellNumber formula in Excel. I.e. $240.00 = two hundred and forty dollars.


texts: Push Custom Report to Multiple Sites via API, Programming, or SQL

texts:
I oversee dozens of CiviCRM sites running on the same server (each with its own DB) and want to push out custom reports to all of them. I would like to be able to register the report and create a new report template.

Is there a way to automate this without having to use the UI?

Thanks!


texts: Can I show contact photos in a public membership list on a WordPress site?

texts:
On a newly built WordPress site for a City livery company, I have created a membership list that members can opt to appear on. This is working perfectly, and the list is showing name, member type, role, email and phone number.

However, if I include the contact image (which works on individual profiles), it just shows as a url.

Is there a solution to this? I know the livery company members will be disappointed if they can't see member photos.


texts: 4.6.6 Wordpress still does not allow me to credit to a PCP

texts:
I posted about this earlier here: "Loading Failed" when soft crediting to a Personal Campaign Page

And Coleman kindly submitted a fix for it: https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/6156

Trouble is, I was never able to get the fix to work on my end and when I check the Demo site, which is now 4.6.6, it also still fails when you try to add a PCP page.

If I edit an existing donation from either a contact's card or by searching for a contribution and use the PCP drop down and try to search for a PCP -the screen below appears. I also tried opening the contribution in a new tab (rather than the overlay edit) and got the same error. I get the same error if I try to enter a check donation from scratch and add a PCP credit.

Did I miss something in the fix or is it not really working!?


texts: CiviMember Sync Not Recording Membership Payments

texts: We have a site for members where when they sign up they go to a membership drupal role. This is a paid site for membership. So all works well with the member signing up and getting the invoice etc. It even gets added to the Membership role in drupal which is great. However, when we visit the individual civi record there is a transation for a payment but not actual membership recording. The membership is in the right financial type and I have doubled checked the details. Any ideas?

texts: Do not send scheduled reminder if at least 1 membership is active

texts:
we recently encountered an issue after migrating to CiviCRM.

In the original system, membership renewals were considered discrete, separate memberships rather than a contiguous one.

When we imported the membership history from the original CRM to CiviCRM, the membership history imported fine, and the old memberships were marked as "Expired". However, due to a scheduled reminder rule ("Send membership renewal notice 7 days after expiry"), we're finding that people who have already renewed a membership and have an active one will still get a reminder notice because one of their expired memberships meets that criteria.

Does anyone have a code snippet to adjust the schedule reminder for memberships to only send a reminder if there are zero ACTIVE memberships on record?


texts: How can we verify that CiviCRM emails are actually being received. The report shows that all were successfully delivered. However, recipient members are complaining that they aren't receiving the eMails.  They also checked their SPAM folders.  Not there.


texts: New 'Contact Exported' and 'Activity Exported' activity

texts:
One of our clients has noticed that every time they export a contact (Adv Search or via a Report) an activity is created against each contact of type 'Contact Exported' with the date and the staff member who ran the export. They do a lot of exports and its causing a problem.
Has anyone seen this before?
I'm pretty sure its not a core function (or if it is its new). I think someone may have installed an extension then removed it but its left this function in place.

texts: "You are already subscribed to our newsletter" message

texts:
When someone who is already subscribed to our newsletter (i.e. they are a member of the relevant group) tries to subscribe to the newsletter again (for whatever reason, maybe the newsletters go to their Spam), nothing is happening that indicates that the person is already subscribed.

How can we make it so that in such a situation a message such as "You are already subscribed" would appear or, even better, the person gets redirected to a specified page?


texts: Only Exposing CiviCRM Contact from Active Group in Drupal Views?

texts:
We have a directory (along with a Leaflet map) of our affiliates. Currently, the view is filtering the map and accompanying table of contacts based on the group ID (e.g. 200 = current affiliates).

What I've noticed is that when we remove an affiliate from said group, rather than delete them, the contact record still shows up in the Drupal view. I've added the "CiviCRM Groups: Is Active" filter, however that doesn't seem to be working.

Right now, these are my filters and this is the new filter setup I provided to the view:

CiviCRM Address: State/Province (exposed)  AND
CiviCRM Address: City / Suburb (exposed)  AND
CiviCRM Contacts: Display Name (exposed)

AND

CiviCRM Groups: Group ID (= 200)  AND
CiviCRM Groups: Is Active (True)

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

texts: Show validation errors on custom elements added using hooks

texts:
I added a text element to a New Event page using buildForm hook.

function mymodule_civicrm_buildForm($formName, &$form) {
 if ('CRM_Event_Form_ManageEvent_EventInfo' == $formName) {
    $form->add('text', 'custom_element', ts('Custom Element Label));
    CRM_Core_Region::instance('page-body')->add(array(
     'template' => 'CustomElement.tpl',
    ));
  }
}

And I added a validation code using validateForm hook which looks like this:

function mymodule_civicrm_validateForm($formName, &$fields, &$files, &$form, &$errors) {
  if ('CRM_Event_Form_ManageEvent_EventInfo' == $formName) {
    if ( validation condition fails )
      $form->_errors['custom_element'] = 'Validation message';
    }
  }
}

But when validation fails, let alone error, the text element is not shown at all. How do I get it to show both the element and the error on the element?

texts: Which javascript features can I use in CiviCRM core?

texts:
Does CiviCRM have an agreed-upon browser version to target for javascript features?

For example:

Can I use Object.create() (IE 9+)?
Can I use 'use strict'; (IE 10+)?
Can I use let (IE 11+)?
Can I use arrow functions (Edge 12+)?
Can I use classes (Edge 13+)

Where should I draw the line?

And if I want to use something like Babel or TypeScript in an extension, what ES level should I target to keep my extension in line with CiviCRM core?

If CiviCRM does have a clear standard here, I would expect it to change with time and be documented somewhere — which means that the ideal answer to this question would point readers to that documentation.

texts: Can Drupal send password reset tokens to non-default emails for accounts?

texts:
Can Drupal send password reset tokens to email addresses other than the Primary in the linked CiviCRM contact?

If this question veers too far away from CiviCRM, I apologize. This ability might permit resetting passwords for all users in our Active Directory Federated Services/Office 365 environment - a huge benefit!

We are migrating away from a CRM we can't afford. We had a custom web application resetting AD passwords by searching the old CRM's email database and generating a link for the associated user, who could have any number of emails associated. The big problem is that the Primary email is likely issued by us via Office 365 and thus uses the same AD FS credentials that we would like to sync Drupal to. (We have achieved SSO everywhere else and don't want Drupal/CiviCRM to be separate.) Therefore, someone needing a password reset probably can't access his/her Primary email, either.

As the trend is lately, we allow students access to .edu emails after graduation, so we have quite a few random people out there forgetting passwords. A very desirable side effect of using CiviCRM for password resets is that alumni will probably care a lot more about keeping their own contact information up-to-date with us (since access to their .edu email depends on it).

If I can send password reset tokens to any one of a contact's emails, a lot of problems are suddenly solved.

texts: Webform-CiviCRM with membership payment has broken on 4.7

texts:
I've noticed something strange on 4.7 -- webforms that integrate Webform-CiviCRM and include a payment portion are now pulling in the entire contribution page that is associated in the CiviCRM tab. Previously it would only use fields defined in the webform itself. Now I notice everything from the info/description to the Contribution page's included profiles in the payment portion of the webform.

Is this an intentional change? If so, is there a way to get the previous functionality?

UPDATE: (Further info)

If I disable all profiles on the linked contribution page, no payment fields show up at all.
If I enable a profile, it pulls the entire contribution page in
rather than simply the payment fields as it used to do.
If I disable the Membership Section on the contribution page, I get this error: "This page does not have any price fields configured or you may not have permission for them. Please contact the site administrator for more details." (Under "Memberships", the webform has "Membership type" > User Select with "Number of Terms" set to 1. It links to a contribution page in the "Contribution" section.)

texts: How do I put a thermometer on a contribution page?

texts:
My organization occasionally does one-off fundraising drives for specific situations where we need to raise a certain amount of money (e.g. "Send our youth employees to the US Social Forum"). Creating a new contribution page makes sense here. But we'd like to have a thermometer on the page.

Using a personal campaign page would give us a thermometer, but it's an extra hassle to set up, and doesn't quite fit the situation as well  because of the way the PCP creates soft credits.

The contribution page provides a widget with a thermometer that I can embed on other sites. I can even embed this widget within the contribution page to obtain a thermometer. But then I get a bunch of superfluous stuff in the widget, like a "Contribute" button which takes people to the page they're on. No good.

When I go to certain parts of CiviCRM, such as Administer > Extensions, or the dashboard, I get a message saying that Curl isn't installed.

I've run service apache2 reload to reload apache and it's services, even though curl was already installed before I set the site up as well as cleared the caches drush cc civicrm.

I've looked at the phpinfo in command line and don't see any reference to curl.

This only seems to be an issue on my test site, running CiviCRM 4.7.15 on Drupal 7.

Zip: 10301

In  order to de-dupe, I would place a "weight" on particular fields.
HOWEVER

What if I only have the name ?
How does one dedupe
"St. John's"
"St Johns"
"St. John's U."
Is that technically called deduping ?

I'd like to be able to track which contacts details have been confirmed every so often. Every so often, we'll go through our contacts and confirm that their address, email address, phone numbers, etc are still accurate.

I'm thinking about using an activity type to accomplish this. I'd call it "Confirm contact details" or something and when I confirm that a contact's information is correct, I could create an activity on that contact. This would have let me know when the contact's information was last checked, and by who.

This would be ideal, except that I can't figure out how to generate a report showing only those contacts whose information hasn't been confirmed in so many months.

Is there a way to find contacts that do not have an activity of type "Confirm contact details" in the last Y months?

texts: PayPal Contributions listed as Pending (Incomplete Transaction)

texts:
I'm running CiviCRM on the latest version of Wordpress and since the beginning of December, when I upgraded CivicCRM to 4.7.14 (although it is possible that it started when I upgraded to 4.7.13, I don't have the exact dates I did the upgrade), I've had an issue with PayPal standard contributions being listed as "Pending (Incomplete Transaction)". As a result, membership renewals are not being renewed and receipts are not being sent to our members.

After digging around, I was able to confirm that the Paypal IPN appears to be working. I'm able to see the IPN message logged in the civicrm_system_log table after every transaction. I've put an example of one such message from the system log below, with personally identifying information blocked out:

  {"page":"CiviCRM","q":"civicrm/payment/ipn/1","noheader":"1","transaction_subject":"","payment_date":"04:19:32

  IPN ( https://www.paypal.com/ipn )"}

However, CiviContribute never seems to update the status of the contribution. I did notice that the content of the IPN messages in the system_log prior to December looked entirely different than the new IPN messages look.

Also, for what it is worth, I've also noticed that all contribution transactions are being marked in CiviCRM as being set to auto-renew. I was able to confirm that it is doing it without the end-user requesting it when I duplicated it in a PayPal sandbox session. After filling out a contribution form, I went and looked in CiviCRM and my test transaction was also set to auto-renew. I don't know if this is a related issue, or a separate problem entirely.

Any help or insight is greatly appreciated, as this bug has returned our membership management to an almost entirely manual operation once again!


texts: CiviRules - When does the 'Membership Payment Added' trigger fire?

texts:
I am using CiviCRM 5.13.4 and CiviRules 2.9.

I am using CiviRules to send an email to Contacts when they sign up for a Membership, but do so using 'Pay Later', to remind them how to pay etc.  The sign-up is via a Webform, but I'm not sure that matters.

The rule is set up to fire on 'Contribution Added', tests for the 'Pending' status and sends the Email - which all works OK.  The email uses a Template which contains (custom) tokens which fill in the Membership Type and Price into the text to be sent.

If I test this Template in a static environment, i.e. some time after the payment was made it works correctly, but when triggered by the Rule those Tokens just return empty.  I strongly suspect that this is because when the rule fires the Contribution record has been added to the database, but the Line Items which connect it to the Membership information have not yet been created.

When does the 'Membership Payment Added' trigger fire, and would it solve my problem?  Or is there another way?

Thank You.

When you go to /civicrm/report/template/list?reset=1
and for example choose this contact report template
/civicrm/report/contact/summary?reset=1
..and click on the button 'Create report'
Then a popup window appears with
Report Title
Report Description
..and when you click the button 'Continue', the popup window disappears and nothing happens. No report is created.

I tried different browsers, but the problem stays the same.


texts: How to locate household for event participant

texts:
We organize a yearly week where children come to our community center to play and have fun. All children are entered and linked to their household, which is also where we put all contact-information for the parents such as phone numbers and e-mail address.
We would like to send an e-mail to the parents of last year's participants, inviting them to sign up their children for this year's event but I can't figure out how to do that with the available search options.
Is this something that I can only fix with a custom search?


texts: For events that require participant approval, where do I change the pop-up message?

texts:
We have a free event that requires participant approval. We are manually approving and sending confirmations to those who are allowed to attend, however there's some confusion because a message pops-up during the process that says they will receive an email to complete their registration, and that doesn't happen (we don't need it since there's no payment and we've already collected all information). We already have this option turned off, but the message is confusing registrants. Where do I find this message to edit/override it?

Screenshots of the message below, which displays on the Confirmation page and the Thank You page:


texts: Does CiviVolunteer expose fields to webforms?

texts: Currently working with CiviVolunteer, and some of the functionality is very useful for our project.  We are going to sign volunteers in to our events using a webform.  But no CiviVolunteer fields seem to be exposed to webforms - for example, volunteer role.  I am beginning to realise this extension is rather 'stand alone' and not really integrated with Civi - or have I missed something? I know that I can add custom fields to the Volunteer contact type, but I want to access the basic volunteer fields (like role) in a webform.  Can I do this?


texts: Can CiviCRM handle Extensions in tar.gz format (automated distribution)

texts:
We have a couple of extensions (e.g. CiviSEPA) that are approved for automated distribution. This means, users should be able to download and install the extension from the CiviCRM menu.

We uploaded the extensions as *.tar.gz files - which works fine if we install the extension manually.However, CiviCRM seems to expect *.zip files when installing from the menu - users reported an error (see screenshot).

Hence my question: Can CiviCRM's automated distribution handle *.tar.gz files? And/or is anyone familiar with the error message?

--> If it can't, it should probably not be possible to upload *.tar.gz files.!

PS: I am aware that we could create a git tag and let the autoreleaser script on civicrm.org do its thing - however this is currently not an option.


texts: SOLVED is Civicrm compatible with Litespeed technology?

texts:
I just upgrade my service provider from apache to litespeed webserver and Civicrm stop to work.
The error is in a lot of page:
Sorry but we are not able to provide this at the moment.
We can't load the requested web page. This page requires cookies to be enabled in your browser settings. Please check this setting and enable cookies (if they are not enabled). Then try again. If this error persists, contact the site administrator for assistance.

Gli amministratori del sito: Questo errore può indicare che gli utenti accedono a questa pagina utilizzando un dominio o URL diverso da quello configurato dall' URL di base. ESEMPIO: URL di base è http://example.org, ma alcuni utenti l'accesso alla pagina tramite http://www.example.org o un alias di dominio come http://myotherexample.org.

tipo di errore: Impossibile trovare una chiave di sessione valido.

That is seems related to the url base configuration, but it is the same of before and it worked perfectly. I had a similar problem when used Varnish cache that solved removing that cache.
But now the pages are no cached with litespeed.
I cannnot also configure the backend in order to set civicrm in debug mode.
Have any suggestion in order to check if the problem is related to litespeed?

Example page of error:
http://www.grag.org/civicrm/?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/profile/create&gid=16&reset=1

Here is a hint of the problem: if I use a demo site: http://wpmaster.demo.civicrm.org/wp-login.php (user demo/demo) and then the link http://wpmaster.demo.civicrm.org/wp-admin/admin.php?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm%2Fmember%2Fsearch&reset=1 using the search button I have in the query string the following http://wpmaster.demo.civicrm.org/wp-admin/admin.php?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm%2Fmember%2Fsearch&_qf_Search_display=true&qfKey=6709b858d58d2f669a89cae4c9d06171_4657

but on my site after the http://www.grag.org/wp-admin/admin.php?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm%2Fmember%2Fsearch&reset=1 pressing the searrch button I have the following link and the error http://www.grag.org/wp-admin/admin.php?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm%2Fmember%2Fsearch the variables is missing.

Now it is solved thank to the service provider that modified the server configuration
