CiviCRM and Chained API Commands via Rest.
November 16, 2012, 03:08:39 am
Can civicrm 4.1.6 handle chained API commands via rest?

If I encode chained commands (or even a single command) into a json, then put ../rest.php&key=mysitekey&api_key=myapikey&json={ stuff etc }

When I test the result by posting from a Rest developer console, it comes back with a standard webpage rather than any data?

I really don't want to upgrade to 4.2.x because I'm on Drupal 6 and 4.2.x isn't properly supported on Drupal 6.

Cheers.

*** EDIT ***

I guess not looking at the REST.php and comparing to the 4.2 patch.

Is there any plans to?

Sorry to bump this, but I would love to know if there are any plans to patch CiviCRM 4.1 so that it can have chained rest commands? Has anyone managed to get chained rest commands working with 4.1?

Is there no chance of Drupal 6 being supported in 4.2? Surely there is a huge amount of people out there that simply can't just upgrade to 7 and need to keep motoring along under 6.

Many thanks.

pretty sure 4.1 will not have another release. Most likely the next release is the last 4.2 release also

note that 4.2 does work with D6 and is used by a fair number of people.

I'll go for the 4.2.x if it's stable with no nasty surprises.

It's just that when I seen that it wasn't supported, I was having nightmares about something slowly going wrong, with no help when it hits the fan!

We're having a lot of fun with the REST API and to be able to chain via REST will open up all sorts of exciting possibilities!

Many thanks for the good work.

Hi,

You could probably backport the chaining feature, but as lobo said, upgrading to 4.2 is better.

We use d6 with 4.2 - probably as much as we use d7. There are no problems with core functionality & no regression on integration modules (although there are improvements made to d7 & not d6) as far as we are concerned
