Activity id from activities list on case

[CRAK]

In the activities list on a case we have the option to change the status of an activity.
Is there a way to get hold of the activity id in hook_civicrm_buildForm when a user attempts to do that? All I seem to have now is a qfKey.

There are probably a couple of things you can do if the form object does not hold the data you need:

• I would asssume the id of the case_activity is actually in the request (but I am guessing and not trying) so you could try to retrieve the id using the CRM_Utils_Request::retrieve function (en dat zou wellicht het beste kunnen werken Ralph :-))
  
• you can pick up the id with jQuery adding a template using something like this :
  

Code: [Select]

  CRM_Core_Region::instance('page-body')->add(array('template' => '<your specific template with the jQuery'));


• Have you tried to see what the form object holds? I would have thought you are using formName CRM_Case_Form_Activity, and I would assume the activity id would be in there somewhere?

En anders kijken we maandag samen even?

Hi Erik ;-))

I'll see if I can get hold of the requests data tomorrow. $form holds nothing that meets my needs. Not even a case id (plan B was to collect all of the cases activities, hash their ids and hope to find a match). $formName was different when I clicked an activities status. Unfortunately I've recorded it as a condition in the code, so I wouldn't have to remember.

You're not secretly looking forward to some collective whining about civi-case, are you? ;-)
