Hi,

I'm trying to use the v2 Location & Events API's through a Drupal module. I can create an event successfully, but I'm having trouble emulating the behavior of CiviEvent through the Location API.

When a new event is created, the location information is stored in the civicrm tables, with a lookup created in the loc_block table. In each (address, email, phone) table, the contact_id is NULL. However, through the API, I cannot create a location with a contact_id of NULL. Is it possible to do the same thing? Should I extend the API to do the same thing?

Second question - related to the first really, can a loc_block be created through the API? civicrm_location_add does not do it. I had hoped it would, because I don't see an API for it.

Thanks in advance.

1. you will need to extend the location api to deal with a null contact id

2. u'll need to access the CiviCRM functions to create a location block. You might want to check the event code and see what functions we call to do the needful

We hope to figure out a good API strategy for 2.x
