texts: Event Registration - Confirmation Page Not Shown - Returns to Blank Registration Entry page First Time in a session?

texts:
Using CiviCRM 4.6.8 on Joomla 3.4.4

Implemented an Event Registration page on the front end site.

After the Event Registration page is completed and Continue button pressed the Confirmation Page does not appear and the system represents the initial blank Registration page.

If the registration details are re-entered the Confirmation Page appears as it should and the rest of the process completes.

Any ideas please?

Total newbie here, but am I correct in my understanding that Smarty tokens do not function in the postal mailing label template? I have them enabled and can see them working in email and PDF letters, but no luck with mailing labels. Presumably mailing labels are not passed through the Smarty templater code.

I am trying to solve the oft discussed problem of trying to produce mailing labels formatted correctly for a variety of different countries in a mailing list and was hoping that using Smarty conditionals might be a simple solution, but I guess not.


texts: How to display a contribution page in a drupal block (NOT USING WEBFORM)

texts:
Normally Webforms would be a go-to solution but I have an urgent need and it is lacking recurring contributions + a few other necessities.

I have a contribution page and would like to put in panels or a drupal block.  I realize I can display a drupal block on a contribution page, but is it possible to display the page (no header, footer, etc.) in a block using an API call?  I know hooks are used when civicrm creates a page but I'm looking to do this in a drupal block (without something crazy like an iframe?

This has been asked before - but its been a few years - so hopefully we will get some fresh answers. :)


texts: Use Mosaico or easy editor to edit email system template

texts:
I'm using 4.7.29 CiviCRM with latest Wordpress version.

Is it possible to edit email template (i.e. "Events - Registration Confirmation and Receipt (on-line)") with Mosaico ? Or with another extension ?

Because edit email template seems to be an horrific work...
I don't know where begin to edit template, there are too much conditional and informations...

In the event configuration, it should be possible to choose which template to use for which event for registration confirmation.

Thank you !

I'm setting up reg for an event, and standard reg is fine ($/individual) however we'd like to add some options to this, for example family registration at a slightly different price.

The issue I'm having, and haven't gotten my head around figuring out, is how to set up registration and price sets to handle this. Individual should be $10 each, family should be $15 (and charge only once instead of per registrant).

Latest version of Civicrm and on WordPress here.

Problem Description
I have a CiviEvent set up. I check the box to Allow Online Registration, and after filling everything in, it won't allow me to save the changes. It tells me that I need to select a profile, but the section under "Include Profile (top of page)" there is no form field, no popup, nothing. I tried turning off CiviVolunteer to see if that was conflicting, but no dice. I do have profiles created, but none are showing. (Again, no text field, no popup, etc.)

texts: Is there a way to access [civicrm.files] from smarty?

texts:
I'd like to replace the default logo in my email templates ({$resourceBase}/i/civi99.png) with a URL that points to a different location where the custom logo won't be overwritten by updates. I can do that by directly editing the template to point to https://www.mydomain.com/images/logo.png for example, but I'd like to avoid asking customers to edit the templates, which requires programming skills. Instead, I'd like to tell them to put their logo in a magic folder where it will be picked up if it exists.

Probably [civicrm.files] would be a suitable location but I can't work out how to expand that in a smarty template.

I tried {crmSetting name="imageUploadURL" group="URL Preferences"} but that returns "[civicrm.files]/persist/contribute/" which doesn't expand the variable.

I also tried {crmResURL ext=civicrm} but that just gives "/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/" which is not a complete URL and in any case points to a directory that will get overwritten by updates (yes I'm on WordPress).

I haven't yet found where $resourceBase is set but something equivalent that returns https://www.mydomain.com/wp-content/uploads/civicrm would be good. I think I can only create that new variable by writing an extension though, which is a lot of bother if there's a better way. I would have expected the root URL of the installation to be in the settings or global variables somewhere and accessible from smarty but I can't find it.

A possibly related problem is that I'd also like to retrieve information like the date of a contribution from the database and display that in an email. Again, I can see that information is put in a smarty variable in Invoice.php for example, but the format is wrong (American, comma in wrong place) and my hunch is the information should be accessible some other way through the API. But if so I can't find it.

I've spent several hours on this (even bought the book) and I'm still struggling to find any information on how to create or use variables like [civicrm.files] in general, and in smarty in particular. Can any one help with either a specific or a general solution?

Update: I've found a partial solution to the logo path problem.
 {$smarty.server.SERVER_NAME} will get the name of the "server", in a format like "www.mydomain.com". By sticking "https://" in front and "/wp-content/uploads/civicrm" at the end you can make a good guess at where civicrm.files is likely to be on a WordPress installation. But it's only a guess.


texts: Updating message template receipt to include all of the price fields selected in a price set

texts:
Our membership form uses a price set with 7 price fields - the "umbrella" membership and then optional extra memberships (sub-memberships for affiliated groups).

In the message template used for the automated receipt, {ts}Membership Type{/ts}: {$membership_name} is used to display the user's membership. At present, this displays the "umbrella membership" and does not include all of the price fields they have selected. The total amount is correct with the default code/tokens.

What token/s do I need to use to display all of the price fields (memberships) selected?

texts: Cannot create CiviCRM view in Drupal "Error: Base table or view not found: 1146 Table drupal.civicrm

texts:
Drupal 7.41
CiviCRM: 4.6.9

Hi, new to CiviCRM and Drupal. Maybe I'm overlooking something but no matter what I try I cannot create a View from Drupal of any Civi data structure. For example, to show whether a logged in user is registered for a CiviEvent, I want to create a view of Civi_Participant but get the error:

Base table or view not found: 1146 Table 'drupal.civicrm_participant' doesn't exist

Check setting.php file (a snippet of which is below). Looks fine. Prefix is set to nothing but that shouldn't be a problem since default is properly set:

$databases = array (
  'default' =>
  array (
    'default' =>
    array (
      'database' => 'drupal',
      'username' => 'dpal',
      'password' => '*********',
      'host' => 'localhost',
      'port' => '',
      'driver' => 'mysql',
      'prefix' => '',
    ),
  ),
);

/** CiviCRM Views Integration
$databases['default']['default']['prefix']= array(
  'default' => '',
  'civicrm_acl'                              => 'civicrm.',
  'civicrm_acl_cache'                        => 'civicrm.',
  'civicrm_acl_contact_cache'                => 'civicrm.',
  'civicrm_acl_entity_role'                  => 'civicrm.',

Forgot to grant the drupal user SELECT access to the civicrm database? Don't think so. From mysql command line:

mysql> SHOW GRANTS for dpal@localhost;
Grants for dpal@localhost                                                                 |
| GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON . TO 'dpal'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD
| GRANT SELECT ON civicrm.* TO 'dpal'@'localhost'

I tried another example where I tried to select civicrm_contact and selected the 'Show SQL' option for my view. I get:

SELECT civicrm_contact.id AS id
FROM
{civicrm_contact} civicrm_contact
LIMIT 10 OFFSET 0

I'm no SQL pro by any means but how does that query address the database civicrm? Where's the reference to the database? This is why I get the error:

Table 'drupal.civicrm_contact' doesn't exist

Views is defaulting to the Drupal database, not the civicrm database even when selecting Show CiviCRM Contact, or CiviCRM Participants or CiviCRM PrettyMuchAnythingElse. How do I fix that?

I tried a query from mysql directly and this works:

SELECT civicrm_contact.id AS id FROM civicrm.civicrm_contact;

How do I get drupal to do that? What are those kooky curly brackets. {civicrm_contact} .... Is that wrong?

Just in case you are wondering, yes, I am being driven crazy by this problem

texts: Insert custom date field from Drupal Webform

texts:
I'm trying to set up a Drupal Webform that will (among other things), automatically update a custom date field in the connected CiviCRM contact record. The date field in the webform is hidden, and I'm using Drupal Tokens to generate the date/time when the form is submitted; in the webform results I see the correctly generated date and time, but it isn't then passed to the custom date field in the contact record. (I've tried this with both date & time and date being recorded in the CiviCRM custom field, and with different date tokens generated by the webform - none seem to work).

I'm assuming that the webform is generating a date format that can't be interpreted by the custom field, but I can't see a way to match them up.

Other custom fields filled in via the webform are being populated correctly (I haven't tested this extensively).

I'm using Drupal 7.59 and CiviCRM 5.0.2


texts: Is it possible to view multiple payments on a registration as separate Contributions?

texts:
I need to export data regularly for the bookkeeping end of our operations, and when there are participants have have multiple payments on their event registration, their payments show up as follows (in both the Contribution list and in the exported file):

Total Amount = the price of their selection regardless of how much they actually paid

Fees = $0, regardless of if there were fees associated with their transaction

Net Amount = the price of their selection

What I would like is to have the individual transactions associated with their registration show up as individual contributions. As it is, it is very confusing.

Does this need to be a feature request? Is it a bug? Is there a work around for this?

Here are some screenshots of a specific case:

This is the detail of an event registration, with two payments totaling $725.

This, of course, is the payment details.

Here is how this shows up in the list of contributions. It may (or may not) make sense from an accounting perspective to list $785 as the total amount put into an Accounts Payable, but I don't want that level of accounting in my civi installation. I just want to be able to see in the contribution list that this person made two payments, on these dates, in these amounts, not that they promised to make this one payment when they first signed up.

texts:
I have a custom checkbox field, with a value list associated with it. When I try to import into the field, I get an error "'1' is not a valid option for field." "1" is definitely not the data in my .csv file (and as I am testing imports I pulled the values in there directly from the value list so I know they are valid for the field). The error messages for all of the entries say that "1" is not a valid option (though each entry has different data in the field).

I searched the old Civi forums and didn't see an answer to this there either.

I am using cPanel on a hosting provider and notice the File Usage is high (file usage is number of files, not space).  I checked to see which directories have the largest number of files.

These subdirectories came up as having the largest number of files. Is there some method to reduce the number of files in this directory? Is it possible there are temporary or cache files within that could be cleared?

Currently, all seems to be working except for the last step. The users seem to be only be placed in the default group.

How could I get the participant ID and the corresponding contact ID on the event registration thank-you page? E.g. is there a field (or piece of code) I can insert in /templates/CRM/Event/Form/Registration/DisplayProfile.tpl ?

For participant ID I tried the following but to no avail:

{$participant.id}

Thank you for any tips


texts: Search for Individuals with Employee Relationship for Organisations with Certain Criteria

texts: We have a custom organisation option field showing the "Membership Type". I want to do a search (create a smartgroup) to find all individuals with a relationship "Employee of" for organisations that have specific membership types. So for example, I wish to find all employees of organisations with a membership type of "Current". Can anyone show me how I can achieve this? I do not want to use Drupal views.


texts:
is there any way to set an ACL (or any other permission) that denies some groups the right to export contacts during Advanced Search, while still allowing the search to take place...

I'm aware that I'd need to accomplish this by permitting specific groups to do this (if the feature exists), thereby denying others the permission.

I couldn't see this option in the ACL setup process, /civicrm/acl?reset=1.

Thanks!

texts:
I'm running CiviCRM 5.11.0 in Wordpress 5.1.1.
Currently, I'm not able to renew any membership in CiviCRM: Membership section of the selected profile > Renew membership. When I confirm renewal, the system gets stuck in saving screen forever and nothing is registered on the database.

I tested the renewal using a profile page in the frontend, for myself, and it worked. It's only in the backoffice (where I register 99% of membership renewals) where this happens.
Contributions are working fine, it's not an issue of recording payment or the associated contribution.

Do you know what may be causing this issue and how to solve it?

Cheers

texts: Webform CiviCRM, Membership and # of Terms

texts:
If we use Webform CiviCRM latest on Drupal 7 and CiviCRM 4.7.x, Paypal WPS, and sell a Membership with 2 terms, Annually, with 2 installments, it should bill them once a year for two years (automatically).

Once the first payment is created, CiviCRM sets their membership end date as two years in the future. So It would be 2/18/2020 if someone paid today.

Question: what happens if they miss their second payment due to the card being declined? Does the membership get canceled on 2/17/2019? Or do they keep their membership, without paying the second annual payment?

Thank you. This question comes up due to the way Webform CiviCRM handles "recurring" payments.


texts: How do I configure CiviMail to send through sendgrid?

texts:
This is a little embarrassing for me to ask, because years ago I set this up multiple times, however, I've been out of the CiviCRM world since 2012, and can't, for the life of me, figure out how to configure a CiviCRM 4.6 to send via sendgrid for an organization I volunteer with.

texts: How do I change the contribution type for a contribution that was made before 1/1/1996?

texts:
We're on Civi 4.6.17 and Drupal 7.

We have historic data that was imported from a previous system. There are some Contributions of type Member Dues that I want to change to a different Contribution Type - [Organization Name] Contribution - because the Contribution was misclassified when originally entered or imported.

But, the contribution was made before 1/1/1996. When I Edit the Contribution type a message pops up to "Please enter a date between 01/01/1996 and 12/31/2026".

Is the only way around this to go in to the back-end MySQL table for Contributions and change the type?

texts:
I have users with pledges set up for the total amount they have agreed to pay this year. They make payments on these pledges via contribution pages. The payments are not being matched to the pledge however, because the pages are not properly configured. However, every time I set a contribution page to accept pledges (in the "amounts" setting tab), it reverts back to not accepting pledges after the "save." Has anyone else encountered this bug? Do you know what I could do to circumvent it?

I would just go and apply the payments to the pledges manually, but apparently that is not possible either, without an extension. Connecting existing contribution to pledge If you have an extension you are willing to share, that would be amazing.

texts: Embedding a Drupal block in a Civi dashlet

texts:
Has anyone tried (or better, succeeded) to embed a Drupal block in a Civi dashlet? If so, how?

I'm thinking specifically about that provided by the Masquerade module. It is currently in the sidebar of a Drupal page that is otherwise no longer used, but looks a bit small to have a page of its own. As masquerade is frequently used by our staff it would be nice to have the easy access to this from the Civi dashboard. I could write a Civi page/form that replicates the block, but I'd like to keep the autocomplete it provides and not reinvent the wheel.

texts:
I have about 50,000 contacts to update and I have a scheduled update greeting job set up (based on this post Update addressee values for all contacts after modifying Addressee Type Options - thanks Sean!)

If I run the scheduled job, it never completes (it hits a max execution time limit.) I did find that I can limit the number of contacts (to say 2500) with the limit parameter, and the job will complete. But my assumption is that if I run the job again it just updates my first 2500 contacts over again. Is that a correct assumption?

Is there another way I can update the contact.addressee token in batches to avoid hitting the max execution time?

texts: creating case types with different component than CiviCase for attached activity types

texts:
We created an extension for tasks management which define a new civicrm component called CiviTask  .. I want to create 4 case types (with attached activity Types set and a standard timeline ) when installing the extension but I want the attached activity types set have to be attached to CiviTask component instead of CiviCase component  .. I tried to used hook_civicrm_caseTypes  and then hook_civicrm_managed  hook with no luck since civicrm is hardcoded to create the attached activity types for CiviCase component (https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/blob/e70cec100c435fe48e472f272f409d3887dcf8dc/CRM/Case/ManagedEntities.php#L84) .. I tried to change the component ID field in extenstion postInstall function but hook_civicrm_caseTypes and hook_civicrm_managed hooks run after postInstall function so I cannot change anything there ...  then I decided to drop hook_civicrm_caseTypes/hook_civicrm_managed hooks approach and doing stuff old school by creating these case types manually on extension life cycle ( install/disable/enable/uninstall ) so for extension install function I call this function  hrcase_createDefaultCaseTypes(); , and here is the function implementation :

function hrcase_createDefaultCaseTypes()  {
  hrcase_updateSystemActivityTypes('CiviTask');
  $caseTypes = include __DIR__ . '/CRM/HRCase/DefaultCaseTypes.php';
  foreach ($caseTypes as $case)  {
  $params = ['name' => $case['name']];
  $defaults = NULL;
  $caseType = CRM_Case_BAO_CaseType::retrieve($params, $defaults);
  if ($caseType == NULL)  {
    $caseParams = $case['params'];
    CRM_Case_BAO_CaseType::create($caseParams);
    hrcase_createDefaultActivityTypes($case['params']['definition']  ['activityTypes'], 'CiviTask');
  }
}
$specialActivityTypes =
  [
    ['name' => 'Revoke access to databases'],
    ['name' => 'Block work email ID']
  ];
hrcase_createDefaultActivityTypes($specialActivityTypes, 'CiviCase');}

here is the links for the rest of  functions and files to help understanding this  :

https://github.com/civicrm/civihr/blob/PCHR-459-2nd-test/hrcase/CRM/HRCase/DefaultCaseTypes.php

https://github.com/civicrm/civihr/blob/PCHR-459-2nd-test/hrcase/hrcase.php#L565

https://github.com/civicrm/civihr/blob/PCHR-459-2nd-test/hrcase/hrcase.php#L780

but even when creating case types and activities like this , civicrm will still create the activity types in the list so I end up with duplicate activity types one with component ID  = CiviCase and a similar one with Component ID = CiviTask

Here is a screenshots :

So why CiviCRM still create these acitivty types since I don't use managed entities here , how can I avoid that ?

Following the instructions for the creation of a membership directory using profiles we have been successful at creating a searchable directory.

How can I employ such a search?

texts: Adding conditional content in message template for emails, but not for PDFs

texts:
I'm wondering if it's possible to add some conditional logic in my custom user-driven message template to show some content (in this case, a footer) for messages that are sent as emails, but not to show the content if the message is generated as a PDF.

My use case is for generating thank-you letters for contributions. If I select "generate emails where possible/generate PDFs for contacts who cannot receive email," I want the emails to contain a footer, but I don't want the PDFs to contain the footer, since the footer is already part of stationery that we have.

Is this possible in some way with CiviCRM, or do the email and PDF templates currently have to be identical?


texts: Paypal Pro - Billing Address state_province & country not being passed

texts:
I've been trying to understand how Civicrm uses Paypal as a processor by comparing Pro vs Standard and found something that I think is a bug.

I have a fresh install of Drupal 7.58 & Civicrm 4.7.31 and went straight to setting up a new Paypal Pro processor with a test account and a new event with a registration fee.  When I go to register, I get the following error once I 'continue' past the confirmation screen.

  Notice: Undefined index: state_province in
  CRM_Core_Payment_PayPalImpl -> doDirectPayment() (line 504 of /homepages/11/d387181311/htdocs/paypal_test/sites/all/modules/civicrm/CRM/Core/Payment/PayPalImpl.php).

On the confirmation screen, I can see the 'State' & 'Country' in the Name and Billing Section..  but, for some reason the values are not being passed/picked up when submitting the form.  I also 'hard-coded' my State & Country in the PayPalImpl.php file and as expected, the errors went away.  Even after that, I still keep getting the error

  Security error Security header is not valid

but, this might be for another thread.

Can anyone help me out on this?  I've searched around but I haven't had any luck on something this specific.

Thank you in advance

texts: Adding copy/code to specific donation pages

texts:
Drupal 7 site:

We need to add data to certain donation pages.  For instance, it should appear on id=1 but not on id=2.  This includes some code and js.

I made a Main.extra.tpl and everything works fine when it appears on all pages, but I have not been able to restrict it to be included only on page id=1.

I read that you can do:
{if $contributionPageId == "yourPageId"} Your custom messaging here {/if}

but wrapping my code in
{if $contributionPageId == "1"}  {/if}
doesn't work.

Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks,
Rachel

Edit: For now I've modified Drupal's page.tpl.php with:

if ((arg(0) == 'civicrm' && arg(1) == 'contribute') && ($_GET['id'] == '1')):

which does the job - but I still believe there must be a better way.

As a german user of CiviCRM, i would love to have geocoding for my addresses. But at the moment, it tells me:

  Street address parsing is enabled but not supported by your locale (de_DE).

That's true, the core only supports following locals:

 $parsingSupportedLocales = ['en_US', 'en_CA', 'fr_CA'];

In some way it still works, but I get an info on each save of an adress, telling me it couldn't parse the address.

I would love to try to implement a extension for german address parsing. Is there any hook I can use for that?

I took a look at org.civicoop.streetformatnl but it's old code and overwrites the core function. And it gave me an error 500, using it with CiviCRM 5.20.1.

There are two main differences between american and german adresses:

texts: Dashlets on Dashboard displaying Not Found error

texts:
Following an earlier question about a missing field in Views 3 I opted to go down the route of creating a completely custom report.

With this done and working correctly, I attempted to place it on the CiviCRM dashboard to be presented with a Not Found error (from my apache server). Expanding the dashlet opens the report correctly, oddly.

All dashlets are displaying a Not Found error. As this is the first time we have actively used this I cannot be certain if this ever worked, though I remember the default CiviCRM News dashlet having the same issue after the upgrade several months ago.

Is there anything anyone can suggest to get the dashlets working correctly?
Thanks

I'm new to CiviCRM and have a somewhat noob question about importing membership data from a spreadsheet.
We have this data in a way that each row is a company with organizational data (membership type and date and tax number..etc) and some of the columns in this row have also individuals (employees of the company) in them with their contact details in other columns.
How should we start the importing is my question. Should I first import our members as organizations and then do another import for the individuals...all into contacts? How to connect these to the companies? Does it work with say based on ID-s that I give to the companies beforehand?
Also how to import these same companies to the membership module?

I'm using latest Joomla and CiviCRM.

texts: custom fields become unavailable after a period of time

texts:
I have created some custom fields to collect size data as part of an event registration form. When I first create the fields I am able to include them in a profile and use them on the form. At some point though the profile becomes unable to display them and nothing appears.
A regular profile preview just shows an empty box, but if I try to preview a single field in the profile then I see the message "This CiviCRM profile field is view only".

However, the field is most definitely not view only:

I have not found any way to make the fields display again. If I create new ones and use them, they will work for a while and then stop.
The further mystery is how they could be broken after a time? A scheduled job? Most of the enabled tasks are "always" and so I would not expect the form to work very long at all (cron runs every 10 minutes on this site). I wonder about the "clean-up" task since it runs hourly, but I'm at a loss to imagine how that would affect custom fields.
Any thoughts folks?

texts: Is there a hook for when a CiviMail is created/scheduled/sent/completed?

texts:
I want to call a function whenever a CiviMail is sent from our system, to send a log message to a third party system (Slack in this case).

I've had a look at the CiviCRM documentation, and while I can see hooks for both before/after an email is sent, I can't see one for a CiviMailing. I could in theory use these hooks, but even if I de-duplicated it down to a single record, it wouldn't contain information about the mailing (such as mailing name, mailing size, groups, etc).

What's the best option to accomplish this? Is there a relevant hook? Would I need to run a cronjob to check the relevant tables?

Fixed, 1 year, starts January 1st
fixed rollover day of June 30th.
Grace period:
Start Event: end date, no adjustment
End event: end date
End Event Adjustment: 6 months
Expired:
Start Event: end date
Start Event Adjustment: 6 months
Thanks for any insight as to what may be causing the 1-day delay.

texts: Contribution receipt not being sent after paying with Paypal

texts: Using Joomla and CiviCRM 4.6.10, a receipt is not being sent when using the Paypal option on our Contribution page but is being sent when using the Pay later option. The Paypal payment is being accepted and processed and the contribution is being recorded but a receipt is not being sent. I have enabled the Instant Payment Notification and Auto Return in Paypal. I am assuming this problem is related to the IPN but I do not know enough to figure out where the problem is.

Trying to set up Sparkpost for Civicrm 5.12.0 / WP 5.1.1 / php 7.2

I was trying the cividesk extension but I'm on the EU server and can't figure out the fiddling needed to access that just yet.

So I've tried setting up smtp. I've configured Admin > Settings > Outbound mail and got a confirmation note from Sparkpost that it works. However, that test email hasn't been subsequently sent - Sparkpost has it as 'accepted' but not gone anywhere.

As advised by Sparkmail - I've set up mail.digilocal.org.uk as my mail subdomain. The sending DNS checks have been verified (DKIM / bounces).

I've tried sending a bulk email (just to myself but using a test group) with the following bounce report:

  authentication failure [SMTP: Invalid response code received from SMTP server while sending email. This is often caused by a misconfiguration in Outbound Email settings. Please verify the settings at Administer CiviCRM >> Global Settings >> Outbound Ema

I have a FROM email address mail@mail.digilocal.org.uk and have set up a mailbox on my domain with that address. I've also set it up as the default bounce address (which is I guess how I'm getting the report).

I've got two other installations of civicrm working and not had these issues. Not quite sure what's so different with this domain.

texts: Civicrm Event Info Page has Register, iCal, and iCal feed buttons too close to each other

texts:
I'm using CiviCRM with wordpress for first time, but the same "issue" exists with Drupal. The bottom "Register Now" button on the info page for an event is very close to two more buttons for downloading iCal info for event, and accessing iCal feed for the event.
We're finding that fat-fingered folks on tablets are hitting one or the other of these buttons, then getting confused and giving up. Is there a setting in the UI to either not have these buttons, if I just want to provide more spacing, do I need to edit something in the backend? If the latter, could someone point me to the particular file?
(and is this a smarty template modification that I need to make and then keep updated?)


texts: CiviMail Tracked Click Throughs not Redirecting

texts:
I am using CiviCRM with Drupal 7 (latest version). After upgrading to CiviCRM 4.7, the Track Click Through links in my mailings have stopped redirecting. They just go to the custom CiviCRM URL's, but don't redirect, leaving simply a white page. Everything worked fine before the upgrade.

As instructed in this post, I have added this code to the .htaccess file in the appropriate block area:

I also tried using the ini_set command for civicm.setting.php mentioned in the same post.

texts: State/Province Field - Searching drop down menu with keyboard

texts:
Recently upgraded from 4.6.17 to 5.11.

My staff uses the keyboard to search and select from the drop down menu in the "State/Province" field when entering data. Before the upgrade, the keyboard stroke would search the first letter - could type "N" three times &v select New Hampshire, 6 times for NY, etc.

After the upgrade, this same search works differently. Instead of the first letter, it's finding any "N", in any position in a word - type one "N" & selects American Samoa, type 2 "N" for Conn... staff greatly prefers how the search worked before. Is this an easy fix?

texts: Table not rendering data properly using new contribution grouping feature

texts:
Using civicrm 4.6.7
I noticed the new grouping feature when making thank you letters for contribution. It seems like an amazing feature to agregate all the contacts donations into 1 pdf rather than having to create multiple letters.
The problem is the way the PDF is rendered.

Civicrm adds a new column for each piece of data which makes it unusable.

I would like it to create a new row for each new line of data. Any ideas?


texts: Google Apps bounce processing - is the wiki current?

texts:
I'm fairly savvy with civicrm in general but bounce processing seems to always stump me.  Trying to use Google Apps for the return channel, I saw this post on the wiki: Step-by-step+Return+Channel+on+Drupal+-+Google+Apps+-+CentOS, which is referenced here: CiviMail+Installation.

Is this still the best practice to get the return channel to work?  If so, I'm confused by the reference to return@domain.org. If the organization sends from info@domain.org can't one simply use the info+return@domain.org as the return channel or does this example expect the sending address to be return@domain.org?

The return address does not change at all if I enable/disable VERP setting in civicrm mail component settings.  I have used return+ in the "localpart" and have Return Path blank.  I assume that it is automatically generated.

Also, the wiki says that there are "There are four possible solutions for handling of the return channel." but lists only 2.  Furthermore it says " Second, some SMTP services (notably google) insert their own Return-Path address headers, superseding the headers set by civiMail and effectively disabling bounce tracking."  Does that refer to "Gmail" or "Google Apps"? When using an outlook client, it does let me change the Reply to address.

I'm using IMAP and after executing the bounce processing job manually I see the mail moved to "label:inbox-civimail-ignored".

Any delicious google app recipes or updates to the wiki appreciated.

BTW - I've had similar problems with SMTP bounce processing using Mandril so I'm sure I'm doing something dumb,


texts: Where/How does CiviCRM track sent reminder notices?

CiviCRM can send reminders for memberships, activities, etc.  I noticed that if I create an activity and send a reminder email (by forcing the scheduled job to run) that the activity won't generate another email even if the parameters (within 0 hours of completion) are still valid.

texts: Best Practices in Lieu of Recurring Payments?

texts:
I'm working with an NGO in Indonesia, which currently has roughly 100 regular donors per month, to transition to CiviCRM for its donations and event management. Thus far we have been hampered by a number of factors, including relatively low levels of credit card penetration, complex banking infrastructure, and a relatively underdeveloped e-commerce environment. We have been very fortunate to have found a payment gateway that has been very supportive (www.midtrans.com), and they wrote an extension to integrate their off-site payment option (thus eliminating the need for the NGO's website to be PCI compliant) with the NGO's instance of CiviCRM. That extension is currently available at: https://github.com/rizdaprasetya/vtweb-civicrm (*note, the installation is a little finnicky, but once installed, it works fine). Furthermore, the payment processor's documentation is quite extensive: https://github.com/rizdaprasetya/vtweb-civicrm

The challenge we are currently facing is that the payment processor is unable to process automatic recurring transactions which forces us into a bit of a conundrum. Like many Indonesian NGOs, this group has collected personal info and payment details (ie. credit card numbers) and has up to now been forced to process these transactions manually each month by sending a password-protected Excel file to each issuing bank to request transactions be processed. Obviously this presents some security liabilities, along with being very time/resource intensive.

On the other hand, we could transition all of the current donors over to a self-service, pledge-based system. This would eliminate the burden on the NGO's staff, and would also significantly mitigate and liability from the potential loss of confidential data. However, in doing so, it would shift the burden to the donor, requiring them to click through the pledge reminder email and enter their payment details each month.

Does anyone have any advice on how to proceed in lieu of a recurring payment option in this case? I know it's not ideal, but I'm looking to figure out how to make the best of an imperfect situation. Have others gone through this decision-making process, and how was an optimal solution reached?

Any advice or considerations you might have would be much appreciated.

Kind regards,

-Justin

Don't do it yet. We had an issue where the drush updb failed.

A fresh install then drush updb did work but simply updating drupal and civicrm with composer then running drush updb left database in a state where it could no longer be updated by drush.

I have no idea where the source of the issue is but the updb was complaining about null values in the database.

We ran the drupal8/civicrm install from scratch then updated the db and it worked fine.

Here's a link to the relevant drupal upgrade complaint thread:

texts: Search for address of person contacts through current employeer

texts:
I'm looking for a way to search for contacts for which we have an address of their current employeer on record. How do I do that?

I often find myself in this situation, wanting to find contacts based on the fields of an other contact, one relation "distant". Is there a simple way to do these searches or is that always a programmed "Custom Search"?

As a bonus question, we tend to not add address information on the person, but keep that on the organizations. But it seems CiviCRM is built for "single contact" handling, rather than relation-based searches. Is there a way to handle this in a practical way?

texts:
Site has a custom Membership status that is no longer required. They try to delete that Status but it says 'no way jose: This membership status cannot be deleted as memberships exist with this status'. They go do a Membership Search - find none with that status.

I suggest they set it to 'disabled' as a temporary solution.

Why won't it allow them to delete via UI. I tried replicating with a brand new custom Status on demo but that could be deleted.

texts: CiviCRM - Installing on Wordpress Hosted in AWS DB Error

texts:
I was testing out CiviCRM as part of a project I am working on and decided to host it in AWS on a WordPress site.  After downloading the newest version (5.10.4), I then uploaded the Zip file to my site.  I activated the plugin and proceeded to install CiviCRM accordingly.

To make my life easier, I created a new user with admin permissions and created a separate database for CiviCRM.  So far, so good.  I kick off the installation and everything shows up as good and the message you get post install pops up letting you know about settings, etc.  Shortly after this message appears, I get the dreaded db error message due to a syntax issue.

I looked at the logs and noticed that there is a fatal error that is one part syntax and another part where the actual tables don't seem to be within the database that CiviCRM created during installation.  I have tried a few different variants, such as older versions of CiviCRM, some cases where I did not create the separate database and user which spun off different errors, but there seems to be a theme of some type of syntax error (Mind you, I am not writing this SQL, the application is generating it).  Also, the tables this is referencing, don't seem to be anywhere in the MySQL database, which is confusing to me.  See below for a snip of the log file with what I am receiving.  Any assistance or advice you all can give as to why this is occurring and how I can possibly remedy it?

Thank you in advance!

texts: Can I manually add an "Email" activity in the GUI without sending it?

texts:
To keep track of communications with contacts, CiviCRM has Activities e.g. documenting e-mail conversations. In the Activities tab of a contact I can create these from the New activity dropdown.

This provides the option Send an Email. However, using that I can only make CiviCRM actually send out an email to the contact. We usually send emails from a normal mail client instead.

What I am looking for is a possibility to add an Email activity to a contact without actually sending out a mail. (To document an email that has already been sent from outside CiviCRM)

Currently we use a workaround: A custom activity type documented Email. But it would avoid confusion, if all mail would be of the same activity type Email regardless of how it was send out.

Is there a way for this in Civi or an extension?

texts: Why if you remove a regular fee from the list on an event does it not get removed from the price set in the database?

texts:
If I set up an event and use the regular fees section rather than setting up a price set then it stores this information in a price set.

If I remove a value from this table then it stays in the database. If I know the price set id then I can find these fields via the UI

Why does the system keep this other value?
Having these other fields causes confusion when creating views because as far as a basic user can tell there is only one fee and there is no reason for them to expect there to be other ones hiding.

However, I know there are some issues because the footer displays "System Status: Error", and when I log in I see a CivicRM system popup messages listing the issues I need to fix.

When I try to load the System Status page, there are no errors in the CiviCRM logs or in the Joomla/PHP logs. The Firebug console gives a warning "Empty string passed to getElementById()." and references [docroot]/media/jui/js/jquery.min.js

Seems to be similar to this problem

Civi 5.14 on WordPress 5.0

Hello,
I have installed and am configuring Civi for a new client.  He is on Inmotion Hsosting and civi is installed in a subdomain.   I am having problems getting cron to run. It is not running by itself at all.  Am I am missing a step somewhere or is my command line missing something? The wordpress user password is only numbers and letters, no other characters.

Cron Command line:

php -q /home/username/secure.domain.org/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/bin/cli.php -s domain.org -u wordpressuser -p wordpressuserpassword -e Job -a execute > /dev/null 2>&1

Thank you

UPDATE

I just finished talking to Tech Support for the host and they said that cron job has been running every 5 minutes without fail. Yet in Civi it says it has not run since June 29th, 2019 3:46 PM.

On another note. I just tried a test scheduled mailing. I set it to send 5 minutes later.  It still has not sent. The server host shows that my cron command is running every 5 minutes but it is clearly not doing what it should be doine. Civi says the resource URL is wrong and cron is not running. could this be related?

texts: Invoking hook_custom_tokens and hook_custom_tokenValues in Joomla

texts:
I have tried, in vain, to invoke hook_civicrm_tokens and hook_civicrm_tokenValues in a Joomla instance in order to add custom tokens (to be specific: relationship information).

I created a Joomla plugin to allow this, as this seems to be the recommended way to implement hooks in Joomla, to no avail.  I have been unable to discover how the mail form gets its list of tokens in case I need to prefix the call names with that module, e.g. Mailing_civicrm_tokens.  I've looked at:

Create Your Own Tokens for Fun and Profit
but it hasn't helped.  There is even a reference there to it not working in Joomla that no one has answered the question.

Any suggestions?

So my question: how do I edit an existing report?

texts: Need Token Help for System Message Template

texts:
CiviCRM 4.7.15 for WordPress

Mailings\Message templates\System Message Templates editing an offline Membership template

This template gets emailed whenever selects Edit or Renew under Memberships for a contact. Edit also allows one to override the status to cancelled, expired, on hold, and 5 other states.

Question 1. Should one be able to click on a token and put it into a template? In my case, it shows </> Tokens.

Question 2. What is the token syntax if you were able to click on one in the token dropdown? I need the address, so I assumed {address.street_name}, but this does not work nor does {$address.street_name}.

Question 3. Why does {$membershipStatus} show the previous status instead of the current one? Is there another token for the current status?

Question 4. {$cancelled} does not follow the Membership status of cancelled. What does it represent?

Question 5. Does anyone else feel that the text-area provided for editing is a little too small? A Message Preview option would be so helpful.


texts: Custom Contribution Fields in Message Templates

texts:
I've been trying to get my custom contribution fields to be visible in my thank you/receipt message template and I think I am close but not quite there.

I have enabled the CIVICRM_MAIL_SMARTY flag in civicrm.settings.php and used the following capture
    {capture assign=test}{contribution.custom_5}{/capture}
to retrieve the field per the following instructions:
    https://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Smarty+in+mail+templates but no luck (value is not getting returned) :/

There also seems to be an approach to build an extension or use the Tokens and TokenValues Hooks and API generated code but I am stuck on how to do this given it's a custom contribution field used on a multiple contribution (grouped by contact) thank you.

This seems like a very standard request so thought maybe someone out there has already built this!?!?

Any guidance or insight would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks, Karen

P.S. Most of the installs I would like to do this for are running WP 4.6.x or 4.7.x and CiviCRM 4.6.x.  Is this feature more readily available in CiviCRM 4.7.x?

Using Wordpress 4.4.2 with ivicrm 4.6.8


texts:
We have an event that will not delete. When trying to delete, the system gives:

"This event cannot be deleted because there are participant records linked to it. If you want to delete this event, you must first find the participants linked to this event and delete them. You can use use CiviEvent >> Find Participants page ."

There are no participants registered for this event. This happens every so often.


texts: Event registration without online payment

texts:
What is the configuration for an paid event that has no online payment option?

I have a Drupal/CiviCRM website running since quite some time for courses I provide. People register online, and only when there are enough people the course takes place. I then send people an invoice (per mail) that they have to pay.

I'm now stuck with a bug where I receive a "SQLSTATE[23000]: Integrity constraint violation: 1048 Column 'tid' cannot be null" error message, which I have the impression is linked to an error in my event configuration.

texts:
This is a new install CiviCRM 4.7.29 on Joomla! 3.8.3 on Hostgator Shared.
The Cron File is returning a 404 Error message.
I can access the file itself when I run it from the Cpanel but somehow it is returning this error.

I changed the permissions on the Bin folder and cron.php (755,755) as was suggested in another post but still no success.

I created a specific user/group with the suggested permission just for the cron job. But now I'm testing with the Super Admin.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Update: I commented out: 'ini_set('session.use_trans_sid', '0');' in joomla.php file which fixed the error and the Cron Job is now working. (as posted here)
However. I'm not sure how this change might affect other functions in Joomla.

texts:
Contacts have an 'email greeting' field which can be customised on a per-contact basis, and takes its default from a pattern like Dear {contact.first_name}  docs link

Is it possible to enter a pattern that will show "Supporter" if there is no first name?

texts: Searching by case - would like to sort by subject - greyed out

texts: When I search for Cases, the search results are sortable by clicking on any of the column headings except for Subject and Case Manager. I would like to order the results by Subject - either by clicking on the Subject column heading, or by editing the appopriate php or tpl file so that the results are ordered by Subject by default. Can someone please point me in the right direction for the file(s) which I should edit to change the sort order? Thank you.


texts: Which template is used for receipts sent from admin entry and renewal of memberships?

texts:
If I go into CiviCRM and create or renew a membership as opposed to them doing it themselves online, which template is used for the receipt? Specifically I mean if you check the "send confirmation and receipt" box at the bottom of the membership form.

Is it "Memberships - Signup and Renewal Receipts (off-line)?" I think it's the "off-line" part that's throwing me off so I just wanted to confirm. Thanks!


texts: Strange behaviour with activity type in search builder

One of our users reported a strange phenomenon when using search builder. I recreated this on the demo site.

When searching for activity type = Meeting I don't get results:

When searching for activity type like "Meeting" I get (correct) results:

I have similar problems with activity status. Using 'like' works in some cases, but I can't use '=' or 'in'.

Can anyone reproduce this behaviour?


texts: Civimail wont send (but Civi email will)

texts:
bit weird but here's whats happening

I use the Mosaico extension (thank you very much) to do bulk emails.  Ive been using it for some months with no issues.  About a month ago I included a few Civi tokens including a checksum for contacts to update their details - all good.. or so I thought

I started to get complaints that long time recipients weren't getting the weekly newsletter.  The non receipt started when I included the checksum.

After a few wrong turns the issue turned out to be that every time someone used the checksum to update their details Civimail wont recognise their record

There is nothing wrong with their email address - I know this because I can click on the contact, send an email and they receive it.

The only way to rectify this that I've found is to go through every field on their personal details and recreate it, save it and then Civimail will see the record. Presumably the details they have updated are causing the problem but I can't tell what they changed so have to do them all

any suggestions to what might be going on ( and how to fix it!)

thanks

texts: Simple Donate Form Extension - what is path for front end - joomla

texts:
This is with CiviCRM 4.6.8 on Joomla 3.4.3.

I successfully installed the Simple Donate Form Extension and it works from within CiviCRM Dashboard, ie, Admin menu settings, CiviContribute menu Test/Live. But, I am not able to make it live on the frontend of the website. I've created a new menu item with the Menu Item Type selected as CiviCRM => Contribution Page => Simple Donate Test to no avail. The default CiviCRM form continues to appear. There is little documentation on this other than just set it and forget it.

Please advise.
