API to set "selected" for Custom Select Field Type
February 14, 2013, 01:48:16 pm
I just wanted to post this. I searched the forums and couldn't find anything that made sense to me.

This allows me to edit the selected value for a custom "Select Field Type".

Here is the code that I am using...

Code: [Select]
   
if (!isset($config)) {
    require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].
'/sites/default/civicrm.settings.php');
    require_once 'CRM/Core/Config.php';
    $config =CRM_Core_Config::singleton( );
}
require_once 'api/api.php';

$params = array( 'entity_id' => $cid, 'version' => 3,
      'custom_child_checkin:child_checkin_classroom' => array("value"=>$classroom), // classroom is the matching value for the select item that I want selected
  //'custom_105' => array("value"=>$classroom),
      );

  $results = civicrm_api('custom_value','create',$params);
  $results = (CRM_Core_BAO_CustomValueTable::setValues($params));
Hopefully someone finds this helpful!

Just a note

All this
Code: [Select]
if (!isset($config)) {
    require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].
   '/sites/default/civicrm.settings.php');
    require_once 'CRM/Core/Config.php';
    $config =CRM_Core_Config::singleton( );
}
require_once 'api/api.php';
Should be done for you if you use

civicrm_initialize(TRUE);

(normally it's good practice to use the pattern

if(!civicrm_initialize(TRUE)){
  return;
}

I made this change in my scripts and now I get an error 500 (Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server Error) ) with my scripts. Any idea why this change would cause that?

No, I can't think of any reason
