How to enable "Contribution note" field while recording Contribution in the backend?

Question

"Contribution Note" field seems only available thru Profile. Although it looks like a civicrm core component. I did not create this using custom fields. How Can I enable it as part of other contribution related record.

Once used this field on Online contribution page, it appears in view contribution like this

Answer 1

This is a default field already related with contribution

when creating a contribution just look for "Additional Details" profile where you can find "Notes" add a value to it you will get the same result

Also you can find the field values in the DB table called "civicrm_note"

Answer 2

If I want to change some values on a template I will create my own template like this:

<div id='expert-cases'>
  <div class='crm-summary-row expert-cases'>
    <div class='crm-label'>{ts}Main Activities{/ts}</div>
    <div class='crm-content'>{$countExpertCases}</div>
  </div>
</div>
{literal}
  <script type='text/javascript'>
    cj("#tagLink").parent().parent().prepend(cj("#expert-cases").html());
  </script>
{/literal}

in this example I add a field to the template and use jQuery to move it to the right spot. Yours is even simpler, you need to change the class. Adding the template to the form is then

CRM_Core_Region::instance('page-body')->add(array(
      'template' => 'CRM/Threepeas/Page/ExpertCases.tpl'));

in the right spot. In you case probably in the buildForm hook of the Contribution page.

Thanks Erik, I have found it. Its the contribution.tpl By removing "collapse" from the Additional/honoree/Premium block, it worked.

Before

<div class="crm-accordion-wrapper crm-ajax-accordion crm-{$paneValue.id}-accordion {if $paneValue.open neq 'true'}collapsed{/if}"

After

<div class="crm-accordion-wrapper crm-ajax-accordion crm-{$paneValue.id}-accordion {if $paneValue.open neq 'true'}{/if}"

You can not uncollapse in the UI as far as I know. You can the css class? Default will be

crm-accordion-wrapper crm-ajax-accordion crm-AdditionalDetail-accordion collapsed

If you leave out the 'collapsed' it is uncollapsed.
