Author Topic: Value Separator missing in custom ACL hook clause (Read 814 times)

I've just run into a problem with some custom ACL hook code that we are running.

Essentially, I am using a variation of the code on this page
http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC43/hook_civicrm_aclWhereClause

The offending piece of code:

Code: [Select]

if ( strpos( CRM_Core_DAO::VALUE_SEPARATOR, $dao->$field ) !== false ) {}
I have a custom field which is coming back in $dao->$field which is an Advanced Multi Select of 56 values. However, it isn't picking the the VALUE_SEPARATOR, and so it just sees it as a really long string '123456.........545556' instead of 1,2,3,4,5,6......54,55,56.

The custom field seems to be working fine from the GUI, so it seems that there is a value separator in there, otherwise Civi wouldn't be able to know which ones to put on either side of the multiselect box right?

Thanks!

Worked around this. I removed this line, as for some reason strpos wasn't picking up the VALUE_SEPARATOR, but I could do a str_replace on it and it worked fine.

A little reorganization of the code, and its working although I am still stumped as to why it stopped working in the first place.
