phone api
March 25, 2011, 02:37:01 pm
Hi,

Just used apiv3_phone & found that when I passed in location_type_id & phone_type_id the existing phone number was updated,

Is there an option to add rather than update (e.g. 2 personal mobile numbers). Perhaps $params['add_new']?

Or simply that if you have params[id] that's an update, otherwise always an add ?

Yeah, it seems like a fairly useful exception to that behaviour though- ie. I expect the api to be able to update a phone no in one call. Dunno

NB adding extra fields  to the documentation - I don't want to overwrite 'getFields' - I just want to add one - can I do that without having to replicate the main getFields stuff in a custom function?

Bit of refactoring then:

the code (line 56 to get the fields is inside civicrm_api, move it outside into a _civicrm_api3_getfield that returns the d->fields

call it from civicrm_api and from your civicrm_api3_phone_getfields
