Finding the "group status" of a contact using API v3
August 16, 2012, 11:03:10 pm
I've started some CiviCRM work after a long hiatus, using version 4.1.  I need to figure out, given a contact_id and a group_id, if a contact is in the group with either a status of "added" or "pending".  Looking in api/v3/examples  and tests/phpunit/v3/, it _looks_ as if you'd want to call the API as follows:
Code: [Select]
$contact_id = 5;
$group_id = 2;

require_once 'api/api.php';
$params = array(
  'version' => 3,
  'contact_id' => $contact_id,
  'group_id' => $group_id,
);

$results=civicrm_api("GroupContact","get", $params);

print_r($results);

This does execute, and without error, but the results gave me two groups for contact_id = 5, neither of which was group_id = 2.

This was a surprise.  How do I need to call this API to get the information I want?

Hi,

GroupContact api has been migrated directly from v2 and needs some love

http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-10331

If you could get rid of the old code and replace it (in api/v3/GroupContact.php) by using the proper _basic functions (check out Email.php as an example)
 
  return _civicrm_api3_basic_get(_civicrm_api3_get_BAO(__FUNCTION__), $params);

it should be enough to get it working properly

The function being called allows permissions to be applied - however, it doesn't currently accept a group id - I think that part is not hard looking at it - if you want to submit a unit test I'd be happy to patch it

It may be a little while -- I'm not set up for core CiviCRM development right now.  But when things quiet down, I'll set up for PHPUnit work and see what I can do.
