Author Topic: Create a contact and add to a group with postProcess (Read 554 times)

I'm trying to create a contact from some custom fields on a contribution page and then add them to a group.

My problem it figuring out the contact ID of the new contact.

I've written a function which takes contact ID and birth date (to do some validation) as parameters.

But I'm not sure how I can find out the ID of a contact that I've just created using postProcess, in order to call the function. Is this possible?

Thanks!

If you created the contact using an api call then

$result = civicrm_api('contact','create', $params);
$contact_id = $result['id'];

Hey Eileen thanks,

In fact I'm creating two contacts (primary and joint) the joint one through the API (so can use what you suggested) the other not. So still need to find out the ID of the primary contact that gets created via the contribution page, any thoughts on that?

Cheers
Peter
