Views integration: Contact updated date
January 20, 2014, 03:45:09 am
I'm trying to use Views to output a list of users along with their address, and the date that their address was last updated. However I can find no mention of 'updated date' or similar in the contact/address information? And I cannot find a way to output CiviCRM logging information in the Views integration?

I would need this information to compare users against another system, to make sure only the most recently updated date is used.

I expect there is another way to achieve this, such as by using a detailed logging report from Reports?

I've done some searching but couldn't find this issue elsewhere.

You should be able to patch the views integration code to add the created/updated date fields (they are now in the contact table itself). Please do contribute your code back when u have done so (via an issue and a PR on github)

the views integration code is under drupal/modules/views

OK, I've implemented the modified_date field in Views and there is a pull request here: https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-drupal/pull/113

I hope this is useful.

hey jeremy:

two things:

a. Can you please file an issue for this

b. Can you please redo the PR against 7.x-4.4 if possible. Makes it a lot easier for us to merge

Done. Took a while to get it right, I'm still not terribly used to GitHub! (Shame on me)
