CiviCRM 4.7.9

I have a custom field that I created for memberships. I would like to have this field displayed as a column within the membership tab when viewing a contact.

I've been digging into the tpl/php files and trying to pin down how to do this, but I keep getting lost.

Can anyone help give me some direction for this?

Thanks!

  • Just as a suggestion, you might want to update your question with the version of Civi you're using... that might help people assist you a little more easily. :-) Aug 8, 2016 at 15:22

The template you're looking for is templates/CRM/Member/Page/Tab.tpl. The "browse" action is number 16, and takes up the vast majority of the template, starting around line 33.

You'll want to populate the $activeMembers and/or $inActiveMembers array with modified data. Those are defined in CRM_Member_Page_Tab around line 211, but most likely you'll want to modify the $membership array that they're both based on. The browse() method of that function is mostly a "while" loop devoted to building the $membership array, but is sadly devoid of hooks.

  • Where do you think would be the best place to modify that array so that it won't interfere with updates? I know I can create a template override file. Is there a good way to modify it from the TPL? Thanks!

    You should be able to use hook_civicrm_pageRun to modify the array. To modify the template, there's no great option, though both hook_civicrm_alterTemplateFile and hook_civicrm_alterContent offer a solution. The community-oriented solution would be to rewrite this page to use the core search, which would let you use hook_civicrm_searchColumns after all. Not sure how much work that would be though.

You can do this using hook_civicrm_searchColumns

More information about the hook in this page: https://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/hook_civicrm_searchColumns

Hope this helps.

  • I am unable to get it to modify anything for the membership tab. I am able to get it working with the contribution and pledge tabs though.

    I have verified that it does NOT work for the membership tab. Please see the comment here: civicrm.org/blog/lobo/…

    hook_civicrm_searchColumns works on searches, not the tabs. The contribution tab happens to use the search functionality to generate the data; memberships doesn't. Jan 7, 2017 at 23:18
