[Plugin: Personal Fundraiser] Subscribers can't see edit button – do they need to be contributo

Actually, admins can’t consistently see it. Here is my cause page:

And here’s a link to the screenshot of a personal fundraising page as I’m logged in as an admin:

and again as a user (role of subscriber):

The edit button doesn’t show in either case. I’m sure this is an issue somehow on our end, but I can’t figure it out. I thought perhaps it was somehow a permission thing, but if that was the case, wouldn’t I as an admin be able to see it no matter what?

There’s a link to the cause in the editor – sorry the code I pasted in above got edited out because it was too long.

I do have [pfund-edit] in. It’s not showing.

Hi – I checked the cause page: http://www.godmanguild.org/causes/syep/ and the edit button does show up there.

I had previously set the plugin so that only Admins could create submit campaigns. I changed it so every role could submit to see if that would make the edit button available, and I still could not see the edit button on campaigns, either as an admin, or as a logged in user (role subsciber) looking at that user’s campaign.

I can edit the campaigns from the dashboard as an Administrator.

When I look at the Campaign listing, the user listing column shows the username of the Administrator who approved each campaign, not the actual user who submitted the campaign.

Also, in the campaigns themselves, the existing users’ email address’s are not being passed through to the campaigns.

Is that necessary in order for each campaign to be connected to the user account, which would then make the edit button available?

I have the user display name and user email address both set as required

though when completing the form at http://www.godmanguild.org/causes/syep/ it doesn’t ask for an email address unless you have a reason to choose “Register” after creating your campaign.

If I look at a pending campaign, it doesn’t show any user.

Also, in case you needed to see this:

Login Required to Create (not checked)
Allow Users To Register (checked)
Campaigns Require Approval (checked)
User Roles that can submit campaigns
Administrator (checked)
Editor (not checked)
Author (not checked)
Contributor (not checked)
Subscriber (not checked)
Calendar Contributor (not checked)

If we collect it, and an existing user puts an email there different than the email already associated with their account, with that cause a problem? We didn’t collect it in the first place because I just KNOW that’s going to happen.

So I changed the checkboxes to allow Subscribers, Editors and Contributors to submit and edit…

And added the commented out {pfund-email-address} to the cause.

I logged out as an admin, started a campaign from scratch from the front end, registering as a new user. That worked perfectly – it showed the username on the admin panels the whole way and I can see the edit button as that logged in user.

I logged out as that user, started a campaign from scratch from the front, as an existing user, logging in after creating my campaign.

And here’s where I figured out what’s happening, and I now know how to fix it, but I’d like to know if you know how to help me fix the existing campaigns…

I didn’t build this site – it existed before me. 🙂 It has a login redirect for users which send them to a particular page. So when existing users got to this part of the process, where they needed to login after creating their page to “make this page viewable to others,” they WERE logging in, but they were returned to the page which then shows the popup that says their page is awaiting approval, and until then they can access it at …

I just caught this.

I took off that redirect for an existing user, then tried the whole campaign creation again, and it created perfectly, with their username associated with the campaign and all. And, when logged in as that user, viewing the campaign page, the edit button is viewable.

So, technically, all is well if I take away the redirects upon login for these users (which is kind of fine, I think I can work that out with their web guy by showing him a simpler way, anyway).

But, for the EXISTING campaigns which it seems like now have no user associated (or, maybe only the admin user who approved them?), is there a way to go back and associate them with their original submitter? It’s like somewhere along the way the process was disconnected…

Hi John,

Me again. I know we’ve covered this already, but I have to ask again just to be sure our only option isn’t scraping what we’ve done so far. Is there a table somewhere where I could change the user id associated with a campaign? The more we’re using it, the more this is a problem (created on our end of course…).
