API Transactions and database connectivity
June 30, 2010, 08:28:35 am
Hi

We are thinking of integrating the CiviCRM with eZPublish interface. We will be using the API functions for this purpose. We were wondering how CiviCRM handles transactions as this will be something really desirable if not necessary.

Does the API functions can be run within the database transactions or is it something to be dealt separately? Also, when we call API functions, do they in turn call a web service to perform the transactions or the functions directly talk to the database?

Any comments, suggestions, reflections in this regard will be helpful.

Regards

any specific integration u'd like to do with ezPublish

i suspect installing it with drupal and then accessing it via the REST API from your ezPublish site is an easier way to do it. That way u dont have to write any new integration code. I would definitely do that as the first step

Hi Lobo

Thanks for your reply.

I posted this question more to confirm that I was not missing it if the transactions support existed.
 
We were thinking that as an option too - installing with Joomla and then using REST API.
