creating new donation (option-based) form by code

[chenganma]

I try to create a donation form by using my plugin. Recent update change the simple donation form to be campaign form, the meta data used to work is no longer valid.

Do you know what is the meta data I needed to create a donation form and tie it to an existing campaign?

update_post_meta($post_id, '_give_campaign_id', '3'); I try this line but seems not working.

The situation I have now is that I still be able to create a donation form but It's not tied to an existing campaign? Would you be able to help?

Thanks.

Here are the meta data used to update the new donation form before major 4.0 update.

update_post_meta($post_id, '_give_sequoia_form_template_settings', $form_template_settings);

update_post_meta($post_id, '_give_donation_levels', $donation_levels);

update_post_meta($post_id, '_give_price_option', $give_price_option);

update_post_meta($post_id, '_give_levels_minimum_amount', $give_levels_min_amount);

update_post_meta($post_id, '_give_levels_maximum_amount', $give_levels_max_amount);

update_post_meta($post_id, '_give_display_style', $give_display_style);

update_post_meta($post_id, '_give_custom_amount', $give_custom_amount);

update_post_meta($post_id, '_give_custom_amount_range_maximum', $give_custom_amount_range_maximum);

update_post_meta($post_id, '_give_custom_amount_range_minimum', $give_custom_amount_range_minimum);

update_post_meta($post_id, '_give_custom_amount_text', $give_custom_amount_text);

update_post_meta($post_id, '_give_show_register_form', 'none');

//new line

update_post_meta($post_id, '_give_campaign_id', $give_campaign_id);

Hi @chenganma. Yes, with the latest Give release, every form should be associated with a campaign. In other words, form cannot exist outside the campaign context. There are a couple of approaches you could take here. The first one is to create a campaign using the campaign model. Also, the donation form will be automatically created and associated with a campaign. Example

givewp/src/Campaigns/Controllers/CampaignRequestController.php

Line 217 in a229427

public function createCampaign(WP_REST_Request $request): WP_REST_Response

The second one is to use the REST API and send a request to this endpoint

givewp/src/Campaigns/Routes/RegisterCampaignRoutes.php

Line 208 in a229427

public function registerCreateCampaign()

It will create a campaign and the donation form for you.

If you want to associate an existing form with a campaign, that should already be covered by our migration system. If, for some reason, that didn't happen, the only way of doing that is to use CampaignRepository::addCampaignForm, but you will need to create a campaign first, or use an existing one. Also, our model will always create a default form when the campaign is created, so this is something that you probably don't want. So the only option in this case is to create a migration using our migration system and find all the forms you created with your plugin, create a custom query that will insert new campaign in give_campaigns table, then insert campaign-form relation in give_campaign_forms table, and after that add give_campaign_id as donation form meta

Hope this helps.

I have a solution in place for my application/plugin thanks to your information.
