A hook_civicrm_custom - "pre"?
April 13, 2014, 01:31:43 pm
Hi!

Is there a way to figure out the "pre" values of fields in civicrm_custom groups? I need to do something hook_civicrm_custom (so post) but (preferably) only if one specific custom value has changed from 0 to 1.

I do not think there you can retrieve the pre-values in the custom hook? You would probably have to solve it by storing the custom values temporarily based on the pre hook with the entity related to your custom field?

Hoi!

Ah I see. So a hook_custom_pre for Contact -> then storing that value -> then comparing that value the new value in the hook_civicrm_custom. Ok, will try that!
