texts: How to install translated database strings?

texts:
Allô!

I have installed CiviCRM 4.7.2 on Joomla and then copied the French language file (l10n/fr_CA/LC_MESSAGES/civicrm.mo). This allowed me to change the default language to fr_CA and most of CiviCRM is now French.

Now I'm looking to install the French language database data file (civicrm_data.fr_CA.mysql) to have the countries, activities and many more strings in French, but it seems this can't be done once the install is complete? Is that right?

The only way I can think of to install this database file is to reinstall CiviCRM but by first replacing the original (English) civicrm_data.mysql file with the content of the civicrm_data.fr_CA.mysql file in the install package. Is this the only way?  It feels like a strange hack and the i18n install guide does not mention this database file.

Thanks!


texts: How to send A and B messages at the same time?

texts:
When doing an AB test on two groups of 7k contacts, what seem to happen is that first the A group is sent in full, then the B group is processed.

It obviously means that the second group is going to be sent later (in the latest experiment, 30 min later) than the first one, so obviously, it's a huge bias and it's hardly possible to compare the open or click rates, because A has such a head start.

Is this possible to change the way the mails are sent to process the two groups as the same time? ie. change something on the cronjob?

I am very new to this, and am a user and work for a charity and have very little experience in this field and would really appreciate some advice!
I want to print labels to post invitations to all our donors who we do not have an email address for. So I made a search with email address "empty" and postal address "not empty". However, if we have an email address for a husband, the mail label will still print for the wife as she has her own separate record. Does anyone know how to avoid this? I have tried editing the criteria for the search but you can't seem to search on relationships. Thanks so much Louise


texts: Civi 5.x not recognizing PHP 7.1 in Drush

texts:
This is the second site I've noticed this on - in both cases, the site is running PHP   7.1.32, as reported on the Drupal system status page.

Error message:

CiviCRM requires PHP 7.0.0+. The web server is running PHP 5.6.40. Drush command terminated abnormally due to an unrecoverable error.

The Drush commands seem to execute, though. The commands have nothing to do with Civi, BTW - these are standard install/enable Drush commands.

See related issue at:

Errors in functions.php after installing 5.16.2 on Drupal 7

Any guidance appreciated...


texts: Issue with Installation Dashboard Not Visible

texts:
I've installed CiviCRM 4.7.6 onto a WP v4.5 site. It appears successful until I open the Dashboard. At that point, the dashboard does not render (no menu and no content). See the attached screen shot. Clicking on System Status: Error brings me right back to this same Dashboard. There is NO CLUE as to the issue.

When I first installed, there was also a message about Cron not running, but I still got a success message for installation.

Please help! This is the 2nd time in 2 days I'm asking for help - no response to my first message.

texts: How to display an extension's form as a public Wordpress page

texts:
I'm experimenting with the jQuery Repeater plugin to create multiple contacts via a single form. Using Civix, I've created an extension and a custom form. The form loads normally on the admin side, like:

http://site.org/wp-admin/admin.php?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/foo

What is the proper way to expose the form to the public site? The goal is to send the visitor to:

http://site.org/civicrm/foo

Once there, user will fill and submit the form, and the extension's hook will deal with the result. Given the warnings all over the docs about custom forms potentially breaking in future updates, does it even make sense to approach things this way? Or is it better to put the form on a WP page, using REST API calls to populate dropdowns and checkboxes, and deal with the result?

texts:
I'm running CiviCRM 4.7.7. on Joomla for a Sport Club in which athletes have access to his licences, anual documents, reglaments, etc. from frontend.

In configuration we have added some custom fields to profiles, for example, "Licenses", and inside "Anual Sport License" and "Anual Federative License". For each license we have enabled the option to administrators to upload a file from backend that after, athletes can download in frontend.

The problem is when we update that files in the next season, previous file is deleted automatically and only the more recent stills, but we need that athletes can download all the files historial in every moment.

Can someone help us?

Thank you very much.

texts: Why are my membership start and join dates being changed?

texts:
On one site that I'm looking after we've recently changed our membership types to enable auto-renewal, and are using this GoCardless direct debit payment processor to handle the payments. My assumption was that as existing members began using the auto-renewal, that their join date would be left unaltered, and that the start date would continue to be updated annually, as each annual payment was taken by the direct debit.

However, what we've seen in practice is that the member's join date is overwritten with the data that the new direct debit mandate kicks in. The payment processor developer confirms that the extension code is doing nothing with respect to membership, it is simply handling the payment, so why is CiviCRM overwriting my membership dates in this rather unhelpful way.


texts: How to use CiviCRM Webform to process CiviCRM fields at each step rather than on submit?

texts:
Use case:

A multi step CiviCRM Drupal web form where I want any CiviCRM fields and CiviCRM activities to be updated in CiviCRM as each step is completed rather than only at the end of the completed form.

This enables 2 things:

Data in an uncompleted form is still captured in CiviCRM.
Progress through the form can be tracked via CiviCRM activities so that CiviCRM smart groups can be created to mail/remind specific users to complete the rest of the form.

Is this possible? If not, would others be interested in it?


texts: In CiviMail reports, how do I enable "Add these contacts to Group" for user levels other than Admin?

texts:
I want to enable other user levels to be able to add contacts to a Group based on a list of results in a CiviMail Report using 'Add these contacts to Group'.

For example, a CiviMail Bounces Report shows 99 "bouncing" (undeliverable) e-mails. I want other user levels besides Admin to be able to add them to a new Group called Bouncing E-mails - 20150410 Outreach Mailing.

As the Admin, I see 'Add these contacts to Group' as an option in the Bounces Report. But other user levels do not see that. I don't see a permission to change under Drupal user permissions.

I have already enabled the available choices for the desired user level already. The choices are: access CiviMail, access CiviMail subscribe/unsubscribe pages, delete in CiviMail and view public CiviMail content.


texts: Is there a way to use the same webform for anonymous submission and for back office queries, i.e. hide existing contact box for anonymous

texts:
I've created fairly length webform that we use for registration and getting interest.  People can either fill it out online or via a paper form that the back office then enters.

For the back office I want the existing contact box so they can query up existing contacts.  For anonymous users that box is confusing as they can't do anything with it.

Is there a way to change the behavior and visibility of that box based upon role.

Right now I have two almost identical webforms.

We also use the same webform as a link in email with the cid and key for users to update their info.

texts: Where is the 'subscription history' exposed?

texts:
CiviCRM has a table called civicrm_subscription_history. This table stores a log of each time a contact is added, removed, or deleted from a group. That's cool. It seems to be reliable (tied in to the groupContact BAOs), and is even used with the role sync Drupal module too.

But, it doesn't seem to be 'used' anywhere? The information in the subscription history is never exposed to the front end? It seems to be just an ever-growing list of history that most users will never know exists.

The follow-up questions would be (if indeed it isn't exposed anywhere), should we:

Create a feature request to be able to turn the functionality on/off?
Create a feature request to expose it via a UI in core?
Create an extension that exposes it via a UI?
Copy out the code into an extension, with a UI that exposes it (and eventually deprecate it from core)?
Leave it alone? (Our table has 9 million rows though...)

It feels like a loose-end at the moment.

Edit: I notice it is exposed by the new GDPR extension from Veda Consulting.

texts: Is calling the api in a report template 'bad form'?

texts:
Just a small question - but I've been asked to add 'Address Location Type' as a column in a report. At least as of our civiCRM version (4.7.13) the address seems to me to only contain the location type ID - which doesn't make much sense to users.

I wasn't able to readily find a pseudoconstant function available to handle location type id -> location type name like there are for things like State/Province and Membership Type... so I have it working with the api as below:

if (array_key_exists('civicrm_address_location_type_id', $row)) {
        if ($value = $row['civicrm_address_location_type_id']) {
          $rows[$rowNum]['civicrm_address_location_type_id'] = civicrm_api3('LocationType', 'Getvalue', array('id' => $value, 'return' => 'name'));
        }
        $entryFound = TRUE;
      }

My question is out of curiosity because I haven't run across an api call in alterDisplay like this (maybe it exists and it's fine) but... is there a better way to do this / is it bad form to get at the location type name this way?

EDIT: Here is what i've ended up with (working) based on Coleman's answer below:

        //Inside alterDisplay but outside foreach($rows) loop...

$results = civicrm_api3('LocationType', 'get', array('sequential' => 1, 'return' => array("name")));
$locationTypes = array();
  foreach ($results['values'] as $item) {
    $locationTypes[$item['id']]=$item['name'];
  };

        //now for each row it's just...

if (array_key_exists('civicrm_address_location_type_id', $row)) {
  if ($value = $row['civicrm_address_location_type_id']) {
    $rows[$rowNum]['civicrm_address_location_type_id'] = $locationTypes[$value];
  }
  $entryFound = TRUE;
}

EDIT 2: Even better version without 'sequential' or the foreach loop based on Coleman's comment below.

            //Inside alterDisplay but outside foreach($rows) loop...

    $results = civicrm_api3('LocationType', 'get', array('return' => array("name")));

            //now for each row...

    if (array_key_exists('civicrm_address_location_type_id', $row)) {
      if ($value = $row['civicrm_address_location_type_id']) {
        $rows[$rowNum]['civicrm_address_location_type_id'] = $results['values'][$value]['name'];
      }
      $entryFound = TRUE;
    }

texts: Default PDF Page Formats aren't respected after upgrade to 4.5.8

texts:
I have been trying to discern if issues I have been experiencing since a recent upgrade to 4.5.8 are actually a bug. We use Wordpress.

Basically I've discovered that our many, many message templates, which all used to have a default PDF Page Format set, seem to struggle to retain their assigned default. Additionally, when you are in the process of generating a letter against a contact, and you try to override the default Page Format settings in the 'accordion' section, the margin values etc are not overwritten when you make a new selection.

I have tried to replicate the issue on the up-to-date test site, but it seems I can't get access to the message templates section so it is impossible to tell. I've had a good search and no-one else seems to have reported this. Has anyone else noticed issues here?

display_errors = Off
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_STRICT

And I have also tried disabling all plugins other than CiviCRM in case one of them is overriding these settings.

Debug is off in CiviCRM settings, and it is 'Production' mode.

Is there anything else I can do!?

Is there an option in CiviMail to allow us to add individuals (not groups) in the Recipients field when creating a new Mailing? (we're using Mosaico/FlexMailer, if that helps).
We're trying to avoid having to put people into temporary groups each time we want to send a mass mailing. Sometimes new individuals come in after we've sent the mail mailing, and we want to resend only to those individuals, without having to add them into a temp group and then delete the group.
If there isn't an out-of-the-box option for this, any pointers to where we might be able to customize the new mailing screen to add this?

I installed WP with bitnami on Azure and I am trying to install CIVICRM on top of WP.
My site seems to be working fine but when trying to install civicrm on it right after install I get " 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.

So I cannot get it working.
When I was using dreamhost for hosting it was working just fine but on here I cannot get it to work.

texts: Deactivating a contact for a certain timeframe

texts:
I have following issue. We got an email from an business partner. She will not be working for the next 1.5 years. After that time she will be back. She asked us to use during this time a different (general address) email address. This address is already connected to the company.  Now I am wondering if it is possible to deactivate this contact for that specific time in terms of not losing a contact. Of course it should be reactivated automatically because I do not know if I will be responsible for our contacts at this time in the future.

This would be the best way to keep her contact in the database and nobody has to remember reactivating the contact.

Thanks for your help.

texts: How to add additional custom translation for a payment processor?

texts:
I have installed a payment processor extension and it is only in english by default. The vendor delivered a .po and a .mo file with a german translation of the extension. What is the best way to implement the translation of the extension? As I'm new to CiviCRM and following what i have read in the documentation i need to do it via a team on the Transifex project?

Is this the only way? Or can i do it manually as well? It is connected to a drupal CMS and i know how to translate custom modules in drupal.

Any hint appreciated!


texts: Misleading instructions in CiviEvent registration template for multiple participants

texts:
In Civi 5.26.1, I've just had a user tell me that a registration page doesn't work because there is no 'Continue' button.
Indeed, although the on-page instructions state "If you are registering additional people, you will be able to enter their registration information after you complete this page and click Continue", the only button available says 'Review you registration'.
Suggest that the relevant string in Register.tpl is amended to 'If you are registering additional people, you will be able to enter their information after you complete this page and click Review Registration'

texts:
I think I've discovered something broken with CiviVolunteer's views integration, which was only laid bare in the past two civi 4.6 releases (.17 and .18, related to the custom group work).

The symptom is that the views interface now returns "The website encountered an unexpected error. Please try again later." and in the watchdog, I can see this: "CRM_Core_Exception: Invalid Entity Filter for Activity in CRM_Core_BAO_CustomGroup::validateSubTypeByEntity() (line 645 of [...]CRM/Core/BAO/CustomGroup.php)."

Actually, I updated the exception code to include 'Activity'. That part of the code shouldn't be executing except for contact entity types.

Tracing back to how this might have happened - it appears that civivolunteer creates the custom field group that this is breaking on, and it includes a number in the "extends_entity_column_value" of civicrm_custom_group, which I suspect is why this code is executing.

I haven't tried removing this column data, in case it's used in a way I don't understand, but I'm guessing this is the easy solution.

Anyone else have this experience and/or can give me an opinion on my diagnosis?

Our system has 26 different membership type, for 3 different member organization. Since 5.35 Civi upgrade sometimes we are unable to create/update membership from New/Edit backend membership form. We encountered following errors(without priceset)

Please select a membership type (even though membership type is selected).
Unable to add membership for the contact.
Membership field is not updated(like source, join date, custom fields etc) but status message says saved successfully.
Upon submitting new membership says saved successfully but no membership is created.

There are so many scenarios where it fails to create and update membership. However it does work i.e save/update sometimes for some membership types but not for all.
Couldn't replicate the error on dmaster.demo.civicrm.org, may be because we are on older version of Civi? Is this already fixed in latest version of Civi, if so how difficult is it to port the changes to 5.35.2(we don't want to update Civi unless we do thorough testing)?
Any pointers or help really appreciated.

Just newly installed Mosaico - I did the three extensions in the right order and the correct versions (afaik), but when I try to create a mailing, the templates are not there, just the text/title. There's no way to edit the template, either when creating a new mail or via the Mosaico Templates menu link.

It's also gone super slow - is this related?

I was going to do a screenshot but now the Mailing edit page won't load. No error message, it just displays the Title ('CiviCRM') and a blank page. Is this related? When I disable just the Mosaico extension, the speed almost returns to normal and the normal 'traditional' mailing component works as normal.

texts: URL Variables with/w/o slashes Upload Directories vs Resource URLs

texts:
Wordpress 5.0.3

CiviCRM 5.9.0

I'm looking at the help pop-ups compared on two pages. (The text in the black box in the two images)

I've got Path Variables on the Upload Directories page:

I've got URL Variables on the Resource URLs Page:

They are supposed to be the same variables: [cms.root], [civicrm.root] and [civicrm.files], yet on the former page, the variables have no slashes. On the latter page, they do have slashes. I suspect the one without slashes is correct, because the Extensions Directory for both uses [civicrm.files]/ext/ and had already been set that way.

Before I make any mistakes, these are the settings I have on Resource URLs now:

CiviCRM Resource URL: wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/

Image Upload URL: wp-content/plugins/files/civicrm/persist/contribute/

These are what I should probably change them to:

CiviCRM Resource URL: [civicrm.root]/

Image Upload URL: [civicrm.files]/persist/contribute/

Please confirm.

Is it possible this a minor bug?

So, ruled out above plugin to be causing the error.

When above CiviCRM email is updated, it updates the Email of the Wordpress User.

texts: How to alert an admin that a credit card used for recurring payments is coming up to the Expiry Date

texts:
I expect the answers to this will depend on the type of payment processor. In this case it is Authorize.net.

My research has found

this old forum thread
which led to this Extension
which may have been superceded by this fix to core
which seems to be part of a bigger task

all of which seem to be focussed on 'tokens' which means I don't think it helps this scenario.

One thought has been if we could at least copy the CC Expiry Date data in to another field that gets stored on the Contribution, though a much better solution would be to make that date the Scheduled Date of an Activity.

Any proven solutions out there?

One suggestions via 'chat' has been to see if auth.net are offering the 'account updater' service.

This seems the most recent discussion on this which implies there is no timeline for providing this.

In an earlier thread they talked about a new "ARBGetSubscriptionLIstRequest API method to get a list of subscriptions with cards expiring this month" but don't yet know if ARB is something that is available to civi users or not.

texts: Bug?: Repeat activities won't accept edits after 4.7.31 upgrade

texts:
We've noticed that we cannot edit recurring activities after upgrading to 4.7.31 on WordPress 4.9.4 running PHP 5.6.34.

On making a change to any activity in a series and hitting "Save", we get the usual three options:

How should this change affect others in the series?

Only this activity
This activity onwards
Every activity

However, on selection, none of the options are working and the system continues to display the activity in editing mode.

This also is the case if we try to delete the Activity by clicking delete here:

Attempting to delete in this fashion also brings up the same non-working 3 radio buttons noted above.

HOWEVER, we do note that if we select a checkbox in a list of activities, we can successfully delete the single activity.

In short, none of the radio buttons that appear after trying to edit/delete an Activity during its view seem to work anymore and, as such, a series of activities cannot be modified after creation, accept for deleting en masse via checkbox commands.

Troubleshooting suggestions appreciated.

texts: Can I use Webform CiviCRM Integration to always create a new contact?

texts:
For a specific project we are using the Webform CiviCRM Integration extension for a form where the website visitor can sign a petition. Once this is done we want to use specific matching to find a contact or create a new one (using the apiWrapper hook).
This means I would like an option in Webform CiviCRM Integration to say that it should always create a contact and NOT try to find a matching one using the dedupe rules, is that possible?

The problem is that the file names contain the names of contacts. Under GDPR, these need to be deleted.

Can we change the name to be the ID instead?

texts: How to trigger creation of an Activity based on a Contribution being Completed - via CiviRules

texts:
The goal is that when a Contribution is Completed then an Activity is created for a Thank You Call.

I tried doing this with 'Contribution is Added' trigger, and setting Contribution Status is Completed as the Condition, but seems this is failing for online ones. It works fine for backend ones I am guessing because with backend the Contribution is set to 'completed' when it is created.

With the online payments is the Contribution record created initially, and then is the status set to 'completed' only after the result comes back from the Payment Processor?

Is there any other Trigger I could run this from? Any other suggestions of how to achieve this?

After that, CiviCRM was broken and I had to downgrade. I did it to Mysql 5.7.31 and the database ran again, but with a bunch of identical error messages at the top of my pages:

I still have to perform some upgrades from CiviCRM 5.26.0 to 5.30.0
My additional question is: is it sufficient to upgrade CiviCRM to make the errors disappear or do I have to fix first the errors. In case I have to upgrade, I would like to know if it is better to upgrade in one shot from 5.26.0 to 2.30.0 or will I do it step by step?

Drupal CMS. Currently it's on Civi 4.7.22, but we'll be upgrading to the lastest version soon.

UPDATE: Has there been any progress on this? It really seems odd that there doesn't seem to be a way to track conversions in CiviCRM. The only thing I've been pointed to is something that is 3 years old and therefore unlikely to work with the current CiviCRM.

I have tried this out and it doesn't seem to be possible using ACLs - at least not 'out of the box' (unless there's an extension that will help with this?). There's a message on the 'Manage ACLs' screen that says "NOTE: For Custom Data ACLs, the 'View' and 'Edit' operations currently do the same thing".  This kind of requirement is perfectly reasonable and probably not unusual - but is it possible for contact custom data?

texts:
When sending a CiviMail message, users sometimes want to customize the preview text for email clients - which is good practice. (The preview text shows up under the Subject in many email clients.) Using the default mosaico pre-header, you end up with preview text of "Unsubscribe View in your browser...." [update: HomoTechsual notes that the Mosaico pre-header has a preview text option. But this has limitations as noted in the thread.]

It seems there are two ways to edit the preview text in Civi:

Creating a pre-header block with the text for the preview, but this will be visible in the text of the email, which often isn't ideal.
Creating a
Preview text here
 before any other text in the email. This is not user-friendly and is easily forgotten by users who have the knowledge of how to do it.

Any other suggestions for handling this?

Potential feature request: I'd love to see an non-required field for Preview Text under the subject field for every mailing. And (okay, this is a different, related feature) it would be great if a Preview Text field and Subject line could accommodate emojis (as described here). If Civi doesn't add these abilities, I'm concerned it will fall behind in user expectations compared to other mass mailers.

After Upgrading to PHP 7.0 - I keep getting the following error on the Member Dashboard.  Do you know what causes this? This happened to be before - I changed the resource URLs to Absolute and that fixed it - now this error is back.

I should also note that the System Status Page mentions that the "The Resource URL is not set correctly."  even though it is.

Update: Thanks to Yurg's answer below - I contacted the webhost - they store PHP options elsewhere - I was able to change settings to allow_url_fopen=1 and that fixed everything!


texts: Can I search "Added By/Modified By" with a contact ID instead of a name?

texts:
First, I'm French and my english is not good, sorry.

currently using CiviCRM (4.6.10) production coupled with Joomla (3.5.0) (thanks to this forum), I currently have a problem with the smart group and the search criteria.

Indeed, to add users to the group dynamic I use the search term "Added by" in the Advanced Search section of ChangeLog.

In this field, we can insert only the NAME of the onscreen user. The problem is we have several employees with the same name and therefore the "contacts" of any one of those employees is seen by all who have the same name.

1) Is it possible to change this search to replace the name with the contact_id the database?

If this is not possible at present in the database in the table "civicrm_saved_search" the "where_clause" a group for example:

( contact_b_log.sort_name LIKE '%dupont%' )

2) Is it not possible to change this "sortName" to match the contact_id collaborator?

3) If you see another possible solution?

Thank you in advance to those who have an idea for my problem,

Lionel


texts: Adding a comment to an event during registration

texts:
Created an event with a profile for registration information.  One of the fields added to the profile was the Note field, associated with a contact.  However, when the confirmation e-mail was sent, the e-mail included the last note connected to the contact, yet the current note was created in the primary contact record without any link to event registration.  It also does not show up when you view the registration.  Additionally, the note did not attach to the secondary contact that was registered in the same registration.

Said a different way.  Contact1 created an event registration and included a note in the contact note field that was part of the profile.  Rather than attaching that note to the confirmation e-mail, the note that was attached was the newest note linked to each Contact.  For Contact1, that was an e-mail from a month ago.  For Contact2, whom Contact1 was registering, it was an e-mail from a year ago.  Afterwards, the system then created the note from the registration form, attaching it to Contact1's contact record, but did not attach the note to Contact2 or the registration.

What's the proper way to create a comment field on an event registration?

texts: 'view' op in pre and post hooks: actually used anywhere?

texts:
Working on a PR to add pre and post hooks for the UFGroup entity, I looked for existing examples of entities that invoke these hooks with the 'view' $op (documented in the 'parameters' section for hook_civicrm_pre and hook_civirm_post). But I'm not finding any. This ack-grep output, for example:
$ cd /opt/buildkit/build/drupal-clean/web/sites/all/modules/civicrm
$ ack 'Hook::post\b.+\bview\b'
$ ack 'Hook::pre\b.+\bview\b'
$

Likewise, actually getting a hook implementation to fire on this op in an extension is failing for all of the entities I've tried (probably 10 or so of the more common ones like Contact, ContributionPage, etc.):
/**
 * Implements hook_civicrm_pre().
 *
 * @link http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/hook_civicrm_pre
 */
function myextension_civicrm_pre($op, $objectName, $id, &$params) {
  if ($op == 'view') {
    die('op is view');
  }
}

Can anyone name an entity in CiviCRM where this op is used in either of these hooks?  If not, I'm inclined to submit a documentation patch to remove it from the docs.
Also reference: Is there a hook that will be called before each database read?

texts: The reply-to field is populated with a number sometimes when sending mail

texts:
I'm having the following problem on site running 4.7.31 and I would like to know if anyone else is having it.

When sending an email from the contact summary screen, if the user picks their own address rather than one from the globally configured "From Addresses", the email gets sent with a number instead of a reply-to address in the reply-to field, and their name is not prefixed to the email address.

For example:

If I send from an address configured as a global from address, the email arrives with "from" set to Global Name civicrm@example.com and reply-to set to global_name@example.com. But if user John Smith picks his own address to send from, it gets sent as just civicrm@example.com and the reply-to field has a number in it, eg. 5443. Whereas previously it would have been sent as from John Smith civicrm@example.com with reply-to john.smith@example.com

(Red herring: The address part of the "from" is always civicrm@example.com because that it what it uses to authenticate with the SMTP server, and Gmail won't allow sending from other addresses unless they have been manually verified)

texts: Where should one look for logs when debugging a new problem?

texts:
When a bug or problem arises, one must often seek out the corresponding error-messages or error-logs. Since Civi runs on a large stack, there can be several layers to check, e.g.

The browser's Javascript console
The Civi application log
The PHP error log
The httpd log

The answers vary a bit (depending on CMS, browser, server platform, etc), but there's also a fairly limited range -- in general usage, there are only a handful of common CMSs (Drupal/Joomla/WordPress), common browsers (Firefox/Chrome/Safari/IE), and common server platforms. For web-designers and moderately-technical site builders, it would help to have a cheatsheet with common places to look.

I found a couple pages about debugging strategies in Civi. The bug-reporting page discusses the high-level business process of using forums and issue trackers. The Debugging for developers page is very developer-centric (eg adding new log statements to the source-code; installing+configuring xdebug). However, I could not find a concrete list of places or instructions for checking logs.

texts: How to allow users in ACL group to add & remove contacts in groups

texts:
I'm implementing ACLs for a client.  Users can only have view or edit to a group when adding permissions, so then don't have the ability to add or remove a contact from that group. In fact, I've found there are ways to add and delete a contact to/from a group - but the more usual methods result in the message "API permission check failed for GroupContact/delete call; insufficient permission: require access CiviCRM and edit all contacts"
 This is a Drupal system & they have 'edit groups' permissions. Giving the permission 'edit all contacts' then opens up all contacts to a user, which is obviously incorrect.
Is this a limitation of ACLs? Or is there some way around this problem?

texts:
I'm programming an Android App for a company, and they use CiviCRM for subscribing to newsletters. The form is available to anyone online, but I have to add the form in an android app. On the android app, i use a button "Send", who should send the form as the online form. Then the form is recorded in a database using CiviCRM. In order to do that, I need to create a JSON object, and send the request using Ajax. But I have no idea of what should be the url of the ajax request, and what should be the variables I should use.

The form is composed of three parts: a select, four text inputs and two checkbox sets.


texts: How can I make a contact the case manager of several cases with the same client contact?

texts:
Our organization is trying to use CiviCase as a ticketing system. So we have one case type, the "Ticket".

We can have multiple Tickets open for the same client. However, I can't assign the same contact as a "Case Manager" for multiple tickets to the same client.

So let's say client A has 2 open Tickets. On the first Ticket, I assign myself as the Case Manager. That works as expected. However, when I try to assign myself as the Case Manager of the second Ticket for client A, I get an error:

  The relationship type definition for the case role is not valid for the client and / or staff contact types.

If I create 2 cases to the same client, I am automatically assigned as a Case Manager to both of those cases. However, if I remove myself as Case Manager, and try to re-add myself, I get the same error as above.

How can I assign myself (or anybody else) as the Case Manager of multiple cases to the same client.


texts: CiviCRM Event registration form refreshes instead of submitting when logged out of Wordpress

texts:
I can't seem to get event registration to work for users that aren't logged into Wordpress. If I'm logged into Wordpress admin, I can register for the event. If I'm logged out of Wordpress, the page just refreshes after I click the "continue" button (which is supposed to take me to the next step). Interestingly, there's form validation in place, but that also only works if I'm logged in. If I'm logged in and click continue without filling in the fields, I get errors telling me to fill in the fields. But if I'm logged out and I click continue without filling in the fields, it just refreshes the page.

Anonymous users have the following permissions under CiviCRM Wordpress Access Control:

access uploaded files
profile create
profile edit
profile view
access all custom data
register for events
view event info
view event participants
make online contributions
access CiviMail subscribe/unsubscribe pages
view public CiviMail content

I also set up an ACL to allow anonymous users to edit events.

My CiviCRM instance (4.6.11 embedded in Drupal 7.41 in Google cloud) is localized for French language with date format dd/mm/yyyy (31/12/2009). When using a date field in search builder, comparison is made to dates in yyyymmdd format and so gives wrong answers. Can we get search builder to use another date format or is it a known bug ?
Thanks for help.

Added 03/24/2016 : I make a test in the civicrm demo site and it appears that the problem is not from localization but from membership. I want to list contacts with membership ending before a given date, and wathever date or operator you give for the Expiration Date, you allways get ALL the contacts.

texts: How do I run PHP Unit test on civicrm-buildkit-vagrant from within PHPStorm?

texts:
I don't understand why PHPStorm does not see cv tool when I call "run" or "debug" the class from extension:

cv: not found PHP Fatal error: Uncaught RuntimeException: Command failed (cv php:boot --level=classloader)

I can use cv tool when I'm on vagrant machine (vagrant up, vagrant ssh, cv --version)

However I can run the test directly from vagrant machine. I also can debug any civicrm form called by browser (remote debugging).

My setup:

civicrm-buildkit-vagrant on virtualbox
cv version v0.1.29
PHP7.1 + PHPUnit 4.8.36 + xdebug 2.6.0
PHPStorm 2018.1
runner is configured for extension (configuration and bootstrap file)

I know there is a How do I run PHP Unit Tests w/ XDEBUG from within PHPStorm [on Mac]? question but there is a standard installation of civicrm by buildkit, not by whole vagrant script.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

or when somebody sign up for a membership (trough civicrm) a new gets created in wp.

also once 'CONFIRM CONTRIBUTION' IS CLICKED(membership signup). page goes no where .
it was suppose to goto to 'thankyou ' page which was set in 'contribution page'


texts: How do I fix auto-renewal memberships? (Auth.net)

texts: We're recently having trouble with auto-renewal memberships again. When a member's membership should renew, the members are getting charged through Authorize.net but it's not updating the membership status through Civi. Not sure what to check or how to fix this issue.


texts: Event Info, registration and other front end not displaying correctly

texts:
I have a fresh CiviCRM install on my test server and the frontend is displaying incorrectly as if it can't read the CSS
Here is a test event: http://node01.tmdhosting983.com/~agsmca/index.php?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/event/info&reset=1&id=1

I can't seem to find the problem, is my Joomla theme overriding it?

RESOLVED

So it turns out that I was missing a whole folder on my server. The zipped civicrm folder in the installation files under the admin folder didn't install properly (even though my PHP has zip enabled and CiviCRM was installed by a professional and reinstalled by a professional).

The solution is to take manually unzip civicrm.zip from the asmin folder in the install folder you used to install CiviCRM, then manually upload these into your Joomla folder/components/com_civicrm in a new folder named "civicrm"

Here is a screenshot of the resolved page:


texts: Renamed Contact type does not show on reports

texts: I have changed the built in contact type from Individual to Member. This shows on the contact screen as Member but in the contact reports it still shows Individual.  tried to create a new type but it was "based on" Individual" and I had te same outcome.


texts: Optional year on Date of Birth demographics field: is it possible?

texts:
Some folks would like to enter their birth date but would prefer not to divulge the year they were born as it reveals their age ;)

Looks like the Date of Birth field has validation that requires year. What are my options for making year optional?


texts: Unable to edit profile as anonymous user with checksum

texts:
While exploring the migration our installation to Wordpress due to headches with webforms and d8, my hope was to use CiviVolunteer's volunteer opportunity form, triggering an email which sends a URL to secondary profile that includes a checksum, allowing the applicant to add more / update their information, similar to what is described in this answer.
However, as was already pointed out in another question, this generates an error, “No user/contact ID was specified, so the Profile cannot be used in edit mode”. Unfortunately, the selected answer does not work in this case, because using mode="create" does not propitiate the fields with that user's information.
I have tried the old method of wrapping it in a members_logged_in shortcode, but had the same trouble described in that question. Additionally, after clicking submit the initial error is displayed.
I have not yet tried enabling Profile submissions from an external site and wonder how the fields would be filled in even if I did.
My preference would really be to avoid a third party form like Caldera or Contact 7, considering the reason I'm exploring this CMS in the first place.
For reference: the test contact is an individual, there are no custom fields yet, all fields have been set to visibility public, all of the /'s are %2F's.
Any advice or assistance appreciated!


texts: Is there a way to send an email about security updates?

texts:
In Drupal there is an option to have an email sent periodically when there are updates (in general, or only security updates) available:

I know CiviCRM already checks for updates and obviously has some pretty complex email functionality.

Have they been tied together in a similar way -- for example, to allow an email address or group to receive an email if a security release is ready?


texts:
In our organisation people share emailadresses. (Context: sumercamps, children share the emailadres of their parents who register them)

When sending out a bulkmailing and deduping while sending, the envelope of one of the shared emailadresses is used.

I would like to know if it is possible to disable using the name in the envelope in these cases.

Example:

"John Doe" johndoe@email.com

"Mary Doe" johndoe@email.com

Send a bulk mail with deduping rules to these two people will send to one of them using:

"John Doe" johndoe@email.com

It seems better not to use the First and Last name in case of a deduped bulk mail from civicrm.

Is this configurable or wold this require a core change?

texts: Is there a text-to-give feature or extension for CiviCRM?

texts:
Is there any current functionality or extension that will allow customers to txt a donation (one-time or recurring), where the contribution data can be stored in CiviCRM?

Something along the lines of: https://txt2give.co/

Drupal 7 or 8, CiviCRM any version


texts:
I have a CiviCRM deployment using Pricesets and multiple participants.

Currently, a user is allowed to simply "hit next" without entering any values under the priceset options and register themselves for $0.00.

Would selecting "required" under all the different price-set options address this issue?


texts: Views3 Integration instructions not working

texts:
I followed these instructions to integrate Views3 with a custom CiviCRM extension.

I have Drupal 7 and I copied and pasted the array just under the $databases one in "settings.php" .
I clear the Views's cache and then go to the "Add new view" panel.

The Show select lists only few CiviCRM tables (I saw them also before the integration procedure) but not all and not the ones of the custom CiviCRM extension.

I have two separate databases for Drupal and CiviCRM but the drupal user has access rights to the CiviCRM tables.

Does someone can help with this issue?

Any thoughts on how to fix this error?
