views + smartgroups
May 21, 2010, 12:32:53 am
Hi,

I was using a view where the groups are an exposed filter.
Some of the groups worked and others did not.

I noticed that the SQL the views module makes is searching in the civicrm_group_contact table, but that table does not contain "smart groups",does it? Does that mean that smart groups can not be queried via views?

yes, you are correct. The "query" part of smart groups is not part of that table. Would be great if you can take a look and figure out how to add support for smart groups. You can potentially ensure that the smart group is cached:

Code: [Select]
if ( $group->cache_date == null ) {
  require_once 'CRM/Contact/BAO/GroupContactCache.php';
  CRM_Contact_BAO_GroupContactCache::load( $group );
}

and once its cached, link the view record to both civicrm_group_contact and civicrm_group_contact_cache

How can you be sure that the cached data is right, smart groups can change.
Or does civicrm handle that automatically and clears the cache when there is a risk that the smart group is changed?

yes, we clear the cache whenever there is a risk that the smart group has changed.

I'm currently in the same situation. It would be ideal to have a smart group accessible via Views. So are you saying at this point it just doesn't work?
