How to get profile_id & contact_id in validateForm hook for profiles?
July 01, 2013, 10:27:05 am
Hi,

I want to validate an specific Profile Edit Form.
I cannot get from $form object sent to the validateForm method, the profile_id nor the contact_id.

Printing $form, I get

Code: [Select]
CRM_Profile_Form_Edit Object
(
    [_postURL:protected] => /civicrm/profile/view?reset=1&id=7&gid=13
    [_cancelURL:protected] => /civicrm/contact/search/custom?csid=16&force=1&crmSID=3_d
    . . .
    [_id:protected] => 7
    [_gid:protected] => 13
     . . .

_id and _gid are protected, so doing in the hook $form->_id or $form->_gid doesn't work
I need them to validate the proper Profile and check the proper Contact.

any ideas?

cheers!

You need to retrieve them like this:
Code: [Select]
$profileId = $form->getVar( '_gid');Not sure where the contact_id is in the specific form you are using, I assume it would be in the _values (that you pick up with $form->getVar too). Or do you want the contact_id of the logged in user?
