Batch Table - need ability to specify a batch type
February 02, 2011, 06:47:09 am
Hi,

Here is the situation

We are working on 2 different modules, which uses civicrm_batch table to batch contributions. Everything seems to work great. But the problem is, when creating reports based on batch, we couldnt filter the batch name to make it specific for the module. All the available batch names from the batch table are displayed in both the reports(one report for each modules).

I think it would be better to have a batch_type in civicrm_batch table to filter the batch when creating the report. I thought of adding a option group named 'batch_type' and having batch types as values for the option group.

Does anyone have any better idea or is the core team planning something like this ?

I would appreciate any advice.

Thanks

- Rajesh

hey rajesh:

creating a batch type option group and adding a batch type id in the batch table seems a good feature to add

do u wanna work on this and file an issue and submit a patch. If done by end of week / early next week we can include it in 3.4

Please also ensure that you write the necessary upgrade code snippets

thanx

Hi Lobo

Thanks for the reply.

I am afraid we wont be able to do the work for you now, as we have no more resources available for the next few weeks. Apologies for that.

Will surely pick it up in later stage, if this is not done in 3.4 release.

Thanks
