Author Topic: id or entity_id? (Read 773 times)

in api/v3/CustomValue.php, the create requires $params['id'], while the get requires $params['entity_id']. Which is the standard?

I think I might have changed create recently?

id for any api should refer to the id of the api entity (in this case the custom value). If it is the id of the entity it relates to (if it is entity_id in the table) it should be entity_id.

Note that when chaining the function says

"if I am calling contribution api AND the entity_table is set to contribution then I will pass the entity_id into the contact api as ID"

So the create should require $params['id'], and the get should require either 'id' or 'entity_id', since both are unique.

I think the create should require entity_id - ie. the create requires the value that is the entity_id in the relevant table doesn't

The verify_mandatory will always skip any other requirements if 'id' is passed in so

civicrm_api3_verify_mandatory ($params,null,array('entity_id'));

will not require entity_id if 'id' is set

Sorry, that was a mistype on my part: $params['entity_id'] is obviously required for create, not $params['id'] which doesn't yet exist.

Thanks!
