Hello again. :)
Does anybody have an ideas as to how to attach a note to an online donation?
i.e. user fills out an amount, wants to specify that it be earmarked for the Social Fund or whatever.
I thought I could product-enable a survey (using the survey module) which had a little field for notes, but I couldn't get that to work.
Any ideas?
Thank you.

I'm looking at tackling
I'm looking at tackling something very similar to what you're talking about in the next week or so. Have you made any progress on this... or has anybody else?
Note w/ donations
No I haven't. But I need to. Have you?
Does anybody know of a roundabout way to attach a note to donations? How do others go about this? I really thought I'd be able to use survey.module and product-ize it.
Thanks!

I've really run into a wall
I've really run into a wall trying to make this work. My fear is that people who need this kind of functionality are using CiviContribute, which isn't really an option for the project I'm working on.
I looked at survey module as well, but even if you can get the survey to submit, and the item added to the cart, the problem seems to be with verifying that the user actually purchased that item becuase they aren't joined in anyway.
I was trying to find a way to extend donation module to have a table to track the custom info, but the problem I ran into was how to make the donation module aware that a specific transaction was completed. I'd like to store the txid in the donation custom data table, but I don't think it's available soon enough - ie you only get a txid once the transaction has been run, at which point the custom data isn't available anymore.
If anybody has any insight into how to make this work it would be great. Until then I'll be studying the CiviContribute module.
