Create campaigns via code

    Hi. I’m needing to create campaigns via PHP code as part of my automated script. What is the format expected to pass for the list of suggested_donations and suggested_donations_default? This is what I have but the suggested_donations values are not being set in the campaign.

    		$args = array(

		'title' => $campaignName,
		'creator' => 1,
		'status' => 'publish',
		'comment_status' => false,
		'parent' => 0,
		'suggested_donations' => array(10,25,50,100,250,500,1000),
		'suggested_donations_default' => 25,
		'allow_custom_donations' => true,
		'minimum_donation_amount' => 20,
	);
			
	$campaign = charitable_create_campaign( $args );

    @jdowns1 thanks for reaching out.

    So the below function should show what you pass through (which if you look in the post meta for a campaign where you have a suggestion donation(s) and default, you’ll see the serialized versions of these).

        $args = array(
        'title' => 'Test Campaign',
        'suggested_donations' => array( array(
            'amount' => 5,
            'description' => 'gold'
        ) ),
        'suggested_donation_amount' => array (
            '$5.00'
        ),
        'allow_custom_donations' => 1,
    );

    For more background information, you can check out the files charitable/includes/campaigns/class-charitable-campaign-processor.php. I hope this helps. Let me know if you have further questions.

    This is perfect, thank you. I did look at class-charitable-campaign-processor.php but couldn’t tell what the array should look like from that.

    I’m creating campaigns via PHP, setting allow_custom_donations to 0 (see below), and when I view the campaigns in the UI, they are always created with allow_custom_donations as enabled/checked/true.

    $args = array(

		'title' => 'my campaign',

		'creator' => 1,
		'status' => 'publish',

		'parent' => 0,

		'suggested_donations' => array( 
			array(
            'amount' => 20
            //'description' => ''
			),
			array(
            'amount' => 35
			),
			array(
            'amount' => 50
			),
			array(
            'amount' => 100
			),
			array(
            'amount' => 250
			),
			array(
            'amount' => 500
			),
			array(
            'amount' => 1000
			)
		),

		'allow_custom_donations' => 0,
	);

			
	$campaign_id = charitable_create_campaign( $args );

    @jdowns1 Upon initial inspection (just checking quickly with your code) I can confirm what you see. For now, i’m going to send this to our developer team to confirm and (if this is a bug) apply a fix for the next release.

    Meantime you can add this after the code and it should force the option to be 0 (unchecked), as I confirmed.

    update_post_meta( $campaign_id, '_campaign_allow_custom_donations', '0' );

    I’m going to go ahead and close this ticket but I’ll update this when the release containing the bug (or if another explanation is discovered). Thanks!

    @jdowns1 Just an update. We will be pushing out a potential fix for this in 1.8.0 which is going to be released soon. Just need to make sure to pass the value as a string like:

    ‘allow_custom_donations’ => ‘0’,
    or
    ‘allow_custom_donations’ => ‘1’

    Thanks!
