Body: <p>Pretty rare situation, I would think, but I've had a few people contact us by phone to ask us to manually process a donation for them. I would have thought I could do this under &quot;New Contribution&quot;, but it doesn't appear there is a way for me to input their payment details -- just the last 4 digits of their card... Is there a way to complete a payment in the backend admin on behalf of someone else, or do I just use the front-end form for this?</p>

  Pretty rare situation, I would think, but I've had a few people contact us by phone to ask us to manually process a donation for them. I would have thought I could do this under "New Contribution", but it doesn't appear there is a way for me to input their payment details -- just the last 4 digits of their card... Is there a way to complete a payment in the backend admin on behalf of someone else, or do I just use the front-end form for this?

  I see now that when I create a contact record, and then go to their Contribution tab there is an option for "Submit Credit Card Contribution"... Seems this should be available on the "New Contribution" page as well, but hey, at least it exists!
