Returning profile field id in Profile->get
March 18, 2014, 05:46:38 am
I'm using the UFField API to get profile field metadata and generate both a form and page display of contact data outside of Civi (in Joomla). I'm currently using other APIs to get the data for the profile, as the Profile API doesn't provide any unique keys to link the UFField data to the Profile API output.

Was there any particular rationale in leaving this out? I'm considering extending the Profile API so that it would pass the UFField ID along with the field value, and therefore would be possible to merge the Profile output values with the UFField objects. I'd be interested in hearing if there would be a reason why this wouldn't be desirable going forward as a modification to core.

In theory

$profileFields = civicrm_api3('profile', 'getfields', array('action' => 'submit', 'profile_id' => $profileID));

should get the metadata & you can get the values for a given contact using profile.get & submit your results using profile.submit
