Activity API functions?
February 26, 2008, 02:39:53 pm
I note that the Activity API functions are described in the docs as 'deprecated' -- are there new functions that replace them?

Also: the docs claim that they are still available in 1.9, but attempting to use crm_create_activity() in my install of 1.9.13019 fails with the message "Failed opening required 'CRM/Core/DAO/ActivityType.php'".

Hopefully it should work in 1.9. Can you try adding:

require_once 'CRM/Core/DAO/ActivityType.php'; above the line where u get the error

thanx

I considered that, but the file doesn't actually exist in any of my existing installs, nor in a freshly-downloaded 1.9.13019 version. I should have mentioned that as well!

argh

this is definitely way beyond broken in 1.9. We'll ensure that this function does work in 2.0

Steve :
crm_create_activity API is deprecated
It is replaced by v2 API civicrm_activity_create

Lobo :
civicrm_activity_create is working fine in 2.0 (r 13455)

The v2 API does indeed work. Unfortunately it does not create activity history records because it calls the CRM_Activity_BAO_Activity::add method directly. So I have wound up using this instead:

      require_once( 'CRM/Activity/BAO/Activity.php' );
      $ids = array();
      $activity = CRM_Activity_BAO_Activity::createActivity( $params, $ids, $type_id );

V2 api's are compatible with CiviCRM v2.0 schema. We have dropped "civicrm_activity_history"  table in v2.0. Hence it will not created history record.
