how do you fetch a nested array of events in 1.9?
January 04, 2008, 11:07:25 am
Hi all,

I need to retreive a nested array of multiple events based on 'event type id'.

For version 2 the API does this with ease using civicrm_event_search:
http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Using+CiviCRM+APIs+-+Code+Snippets#UsingCiviCRMAPIs-CodeSnippets-ListPublicEventsbyEventTypeinaBlock

Unfortunately I'm running 1.9 and the only function for retreiving events is crm_get_event() which just returns an array of properties from an INDIVIDUAL event based on an 'event id'.

Does anyone know how to do the equivalent of civicrm_event_search in 1.9?

Thanks in advance!

Rob

the v2 API is part of CiviCRM v1.9. we've been transitioning to a simpler API since v1.7 (or so), which we've been calling v2 API (yes, this is a bad and confusing name, sorry about that).

You should be able to use that snippet for v1.9

Donald,

I was all geared up to writing a custom script to get it done when I read your reply!

Thanks very much for clearing that up, it's working wonderfully!

I notice that some of the values in the array are repeated. Just curious if there's any recommendation for which to use (in case of future deprecation):

$event[title]
$event[event_title]

$event[start_date]
$event[event_start_date]

$event[end_date]
$event[event_end_date]

You might want to use event_title to be a bit safer (we use two names since title is a common column in quite a few tables). So most of our code would reference event_title if we think there might be a potential conflict
