Author Topic: entity.get doesn't return api entities defined by extension (Read 434 times)

Hi,

I want to modify it to take into account the extensions, but might have a performance impact.

I think it's mostly used on api explorer, so shouldn't be a big deal, but wanted to check here first if ok

Thought?

I feel like it is mostly used in explorer too - although I think it's worth talking to Tim about caching

We made a patch several months back (last year?) to allow entity.get to return entities provided by extensions. Take a look at civicrm_api3_entity_get():

https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/blob/master/api/v3/Entity.php#L9

Note this snippet which scans core as well as any module (CiviCRM module-ext, Drupal module, etc) which has registered on the include_path:

Code: [Select]

<?php
  $include_dirs = array_unique(explode(PATH_SEPARATOR, get_include_path()));
  foreach ($include_dirs as $include_dir) {
    $api_dir = implode(DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, array($include_dir, 'api', 'v3'));
     ...
  }

This "worked for me" at the time -- it would be interesting to find out why it's not working for you.
