I've written a custom search. In 4.1 it worked: it showed the results, you could page through them, you could do search tasks on them like printing mailing labels.

Now my search still works, but only as far as displaying the results; try to do a task on them and it's as if the query was returning zero records.

I've had a look at other searches and I can't see that anything's changed significantly. I'm stumped!

My search returns the contact_id values for all the records (as specified in the Developer Docs http://en.flossmanuals.net/civicrm-developer-guide/custom-searches/). The only non-standard thing my custom search does is that the ORDER BY clause is hard-coded because of a special requirement; so the $sort parameter to all() is ignored, but that shouldn't make any difference? Oh also, I don't use the from() method, but again I've put in an error_log() call there and this method is not being called.

I've put in error_log() calls and noticed that the search is only run at search time, not when you select a task, which means that the task must be running off a copy of the search results, so perhaps it's populating this cache that's the problem?

The only other oddness I've noticed is that I get "Notice: Undefined property: CRM_Core_DAO::$contact_type_orig in CRM_Contact_Selector_Custom->getRows() (line 310 of /var/www/mysite/sites/all/modules/civicrm/CRM/Contact/Selector/Custom.php)." for each row presented.


Thanks.

OK, will try to catch someone - who's best to look out for on IRC about this level of stuff? (I often find a bewildered silence on IRC when I post developer questions!) you, Kurund? any others that work on this?

Thanks, speak soon.

For sake of completeness: Kurund wrote a patch that fixed this bug :-)
