civicrm_membership_status_calc in v3 API
November 14, 2011, 03:43:23 am
How do I invoke equivalent functionality using the v3 generic API? I see there is an underlying function, civicrm_api3_membership_status_calc however my understanding is your not supposed to call such functions directly but go through the generic interface instead?

I think if you use create & don't pass in a status ID it will call it to calculate it (seemed to work for me the other day).

Am updating rather than creating a membership, eyeballing the code behind this it looks to me like it doesn't automatically update the status

This line is the culprit

  if ( CRM_Utils_Array::value( 'id', $params ) ) {
    //don't calculate dates on exisiting membership - expect API use to pass them in
    // or leave unchanged
    $params['skipStatusCal'] = 1;

Not sure what it should be though. In most cases that's what's wanted.

Yea but I'm not necessarily wanting to automatically do it as part of the update call to the API, I'm happy to call it manually after... I'm just not sure how best to do this as it doesn't appear to be exposed to the generic API...

Nah - it should be via the API call .

Potentially that line should be

  if ( CRM_Utils_Array::value( 'id', $params ) && !CRM_Utils_Array::value('skipStatusCalc', $params ) !== 0 ) {
    //don't calculate dates on exisiting membership - expect API use to pass them in
    // or leave unchanged
    $params['skipStatusCal'] = 1;

(syntax off the top of my head but if 'skipStatusCalc' is set to 0 then don't set to 1)

Ok, in the mean time (using CiviCRM 4.0.7) what is the best way to use this functionality, given the API doesn't presently support it?

I would try tweaking the api around that line & then submit it as a patch (that way it won't break on upgrade) so that

if  (!empty($params['id']) && !isset($params['skipStatusCal'])){
$params['skipStatusCal'] = 1;
}

(something like that)
