Deleting offline donations added via SRTeamraiser addGift

Calamity Jen

has anyone any experience removing offline gifts that were added using SRTeamraiser addGift?


The deleteGift method is only CRTeamraiser so that is a no go for server side work.


Can’t imagine requesting that participants clean up the work of a rogue script.

Are you really just trying to clean up an error, or build something ongoing?


If it's just cleanup, I use Excel hyperlinks for this sort of task. Build a report of all the transactions you want to delete and be sure to include the transaction Id.


Now check out the URL of the dialog pop-up when you actually delete one:


https://secure3.convio.net/abc/admin/TransactionAdmin?pop=t&actId=del_tr_gift&tx_id=1016452&pg=action


You can add a column with a formula that creates hyperlinks just like this, putting each row's transaction id in the url.


=HYPERLINK(CONTATINATE("https://secure3.convio.net/abc/admin/TransactionAdmin?pop=t&actId=del_tr_gift&tx_id=", B2, "&pg=action"), "delete me")


Fill that formula down and your all set. Then you just run down the list, clicking the link and then hitting submit on the opened page. I can get through 100 of these in 10 minutes or so this way. Same idea works for soft credits too.
