Profile - Support for Contribution Data Elements (CiviContribute Online Contribution Pages)

Over the next few releases - we will be extending Profile functionality so it can support relevant 'mixes' of object properties - such as Contact-Individual + Contribution data. For 1.4 we take a step in that direction by allowing users to add Contribution object properties (core and custom fields) to a Profile when it is used as part of an Online Contribution page (e.g. profile is linked by uf_join to the CiviContribute module).

1. Administer CiviCRM Profiles - Profile Fields
1.1 Extend the new hierselect sequence for picking the class of object (as specified in CRM-690) to include Contributions as an option. So the options are 'select', 'Individuals', 'Households', 'Organizations', 'Contributions'.

NOTE: We MAY want to add an 'entity' column to the uf_field schema. This would prevent namespace conflicts that might occur if we ever have duplicated field_name values (e.g. if two objects have a property with the same name). Check w/ Lobo on this.

1.2 If user picks Contributions - next drop-down displays all available custom contribution fields and the following 'standard' contribution properties:
Contribution Type
Invoice
Source

1.3 User picks the field they want and this is saved. (For this first iteration, add a form rule that 'In Selector' can NOT be checked for Contribution fields.

2. Online Contrib page - form rendering and processing
2.1 Contribution fields included in a profile which is linked to an online contrib page (via uf_join) - should be rendered inline in the profile fieldset (same as 'contact' fields).
2.2 Contribution field data from the profile(s) should be inserted with the contribution record insert. If contribution_type is specified, this over-rides the default contribution type established for that contribution_page. If Invoice is specified, this over-rides the automatically generated invoice_id. Same for Source. If custom contribution fields are defined in the profile, then custom_value record inserts are also done at the same time.

3. Error Conditions
If a profile includes contribution fields AND is invoked in any context OTHER than an online contrib page (e.g. civicrm/profile...) – display a warning status msg INSTEAD OF displaying the Profile. "The requested profile - $profile_title - includes one or more Contribution fields, and can only be used as part of an online contribution page."

NOTES:

• As you extend the profile code - keep in mind that in A FUTURE RELEASE we will want to support nested profile listings for Contact + Contributions. That is, if a uf_group includes contact fields and contribution fields - when we invoke the profile in listings mode - we would display a row for each contact followed by nested row(s) for THEIR contributions:

• We will probably also want to support rendering and processing of contact+contribution field profiles in profile/create, User Registration, and User Account contexts in the future. In these cases, we would be either:

• inserting contact + contribution + activity history records (profile/create, user registration)
  OR
• inserting contribution+activity history for the contact linked to the logged in user
