CiviCampaign in CiviCase activity
July 24, 2012, 06:18:47 am
Hello all,

Is it possible, can someone tell me, to include a Campaign Name field in an Activity, such that an activity can be associated with a campaign?

Thanks..!

It is possible since an activity has a campaign field.

Most likely civicase is a bit unaware of civicampaign and hence the code has not been implemented there to include the campaign fields

I would write a patch for the CiviCase code and submit it back so that it can be incorporated in a 4.3+ version

But yes, u'll need to write code for this for now. would be useful to other folks and help with campaign getting into more parts of the codebase

Well, I'd certainly like to contribute... I'll have to delve further into the code! Thanks  :)

For our usage, I think the ideal would be to be able to associate a campaign with a case; i.e. to have a non-required drop-down selection of CiviCampaign name within the Add Case screen of CiviCase. Is there a good way of finding out if anyone else has the same kind of requirements? Or indeed of getting some pointers as to how to approach that type of modification?

1. You'll need to modify the schema to add a campaign_id FK to civicrm_case table (and also the upgrade script)

2. Once the above is done, you can probably add this to the "open case" form for cases. Should be relatively easy to do, you can copy similar code from the contribution pages

ping us on irc if u need help getting started. Might also want to read: http://book.civicrm.org/developer/

Just wondering if anything ever came of this - i can see a use case for this - but i can probably just step around with a custom field on Cases - but good to see i am not the only one wondering.
