In Civi 4.6.12 I am testing recurring PayPal Pro payments for a membership.

A simple recurring contribution works OK once CRM-16698 in place.

However when testing with a new membership, no option for auto-renew appears. CRM-17197 fixed a similar issue when a price-set is used. Any suggestions for fixing this without a price-set?

Thanks, Chris

  • I've found that enabling Pay Later on the contribution page is what is stopping the "Please renew my membership automatically" checkbox to appear. Does that sounds right? With an optional auto-renew, I'd simply expect opting for pay later to disable this checkbox. In 4.6.14 this is around line 927 in CRM/Member/BAO/Membership.php With Pay Later disabled, the checkbox is readonly (even though Auto-renew is optional for the membership) - not tracked down why this is yet.

Chris,

I just tested this on my site, and you're right.

If you have the "Pay Later" option selected, the auto-renewal checkbox does not appear.

The checkbox should always appear, and then when the page goes through verification if 'Pay Later' is selected, and the 'auto-renew' box is selected, that should throw an error to the user.

I've created an issue report on this:

  • Thanks. There's also the problem of the checkbox being readonly and checked when auto-renew is optional which I'm seeing on 4.6.14, which also needs sorting. I haven't had a chance to look at this any more yet.

  • Sorry, ignore my last comment: I must have accidentally chosen Required at some point in my testing.

  • In JavaScript I can untick and hide the auto-renew box (and show it again). However I don't know where the verification happens server side. Here's an addition toggleConfirmButton() in crm/contribute/form/contribution/Main.tpl ie before the line if (flag === true) { if( processorTypeId==0){ cj("#auto_renew").prop('checked', false ); cj("#allow_auto_renew").hide(); } else { cj("#allow_auto_renew").show(); }

  • I added the patches as shown in issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-18299 and the auto-renew option now displays properly. The system will throw an error if auto-renew and pay later are both selected by the user.

  • Just a note that this behavior has always existed: See issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-14924.
