Author Topic: Update membership status on a single member programmatically? (Read 760 times)

Scenario: We have a smoothly running CiviCRM 4.1.5 site on Drupal 7 with a large amount of custom development to meet specific business logic. One of those custom pieces taps into the CiviCRM API to manually update a membership expiration date. This works great! However, we are not updating the membership status at the same time, and occasionally end up with memberships that have an expiration date in the future, but still have their membership status id set to "expired" until the update_membership cron job gets run. Unfortunately that is potentially 24 hours of poor user experience for our end users.

This seems like a simple question, but I cannot seem to find a way to update the status on a single member. The cron job does this for everyone, but we need to do this programmatically on a single member, at a moments notice. I also dont want to manually set the status_id with the API since the membership status rules are subject to change. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Try adding this param with the membership create api

$params['skipStatusCal'] = 0;

You can see it defaults to 1 on updates ....

Code: [Select]

  if (CRM_Utils_Array::value('id', $params) && !isset($params['skipStatusCal'])) {
    //don't calculate dates on exisiting membership - expect API use to pass them in
    // or leave unchanged
    $params['skipStatusCal'] = 1;
  }
  else {
    // also check for status id if override is set (during add/update)
    if (isset($params['is_override']) &&
      !CRM_Utils_Array::value('status_id', $params)
    ) {
      return civicrm_api3_create_error('Status ID required');
    }
  }
