CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Hello - trying again to add a Joomla Hook so that I can have my standalone forms notify the administrator and send message to user.

I added joomla_civicrm_post to the front-end components/com_civicrm/civicrm.php and when I submit the form (http://www.selectivemutismcenter.org/Conference/Conference2.html) it takes me to the joomla login page.  Neither user or admin receives an email.  What am I missing?  Below is the code I  added to the civicrm.php based on the drupal example civitest.module.sample

function joomla_civicrm_post( $op, $objectName, $objectId, &$objectRef ) {
    // only interested in the profile object and create operation for now
    if ( $objectName != 'Profile' || ( $op != 'create' && $op != 'edit' ) ) {
        return;
    }

    civicrm_initialize( true );
    require_once 'CRM/Utils/Mail.php';
 
    $fromName  = 'Selective Mutism Center';
    $fromEmail = 'cindy@selectivemutismcenter.com';
    $from      = CRM_Utils_Mail::encodeAddressHeader( $fromName, $fromEmail );
     
    $toEmail   = $objectRef['email-1'];
    $toName    = "{$objectRef['first_name']} {$objectRef['last_name']}";
 
    $params    = print_r( $objectRef, true );
    $subject   = "Thank you for supporting My Org";
    $message   = "
Dear $toName:
 
Thank you for your show of support. The details u signed up with are:
 
$params
 
Regards
 
Selctive Mutism Center
";
    $cc       = 'cindy@selectivemutismcenter.com';
 
    CRM_Utils_Mail::send( $from,
                          $toName,
                          $toEmail,
                          $subject,
                          $message,
                          $cc );
     
}

Hi!

I would need the same functionality so I tried out creativeone's code
and had a look at the CiviCRM hook specification  (at the drupal example civitest.module.sample too)
as well as at the Using CiviCRM APIs - Code Snippets

where it said that

...
// Initialization call is required to use CiviCRM APIs.
 civicrm_initialize(true);
...

but when testing it I got the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function civicrm_initialize() in
C:\Programme\xampp\htdocs\marienbruecke\components\com_civicrm\civicrm.php on line 113

I did find a function called _civicrm_initialize() in the civicrm/api/v2/utils.php in the admins component
but I tried it and it wasnt the right one (got another error I can't quote this one now since I'm in a hurry, sorry)

what do I need to include to get it to work/find the missing function?

Thank you lobo! (and sorry it took me so long to answer)

And yes,  out commenting the call to the function did help - works like a charm now!
I know that version 1.8 has that functionality and I'd love to update but the page is already online and has over 4200 contacsts
and we don't want anything to go wrong. Yes I know just make a DB-copy and so on and I've asked my colleague
if we shouldn't make an update but it was decided that we'll stick with that version so I had to find another solution...

I have another question about the mail:
$params = print_r( $objectRef, true ); is printing out all the forms info and I noticed that when the source
was a dropdown or a check box only a number (for the dropdow the options number and for the check box 1 or 0) is printed.
Is there a way to get the actual value of the selected option?

And I have yet another question (I know, I'm really annoying, sorry) it's about the token {contact.greeting} is there a way I could implement it or is it implemented already in version 1.8?

Thanks again lobo!
