Author Topic: Sending Contact Information on Create/Update (Read 533 times)

zesgar · July 30, 2014, 10:43:22 pm

I am trying to write some code that when a contact is created/updated it sends first, last, phone, and groups to an API with a new texting service Telerivet.

How would I go about this? Here is my first chunk of code... How do I get the variables after the form is saved? PS: I will only be adding/updating contact information from the backend. Am I using the right hook?

Code: [Select]

function joomla_civicrm_processProfile($name) {
  if ($objectName == "Individual" && $op == "edit") {
  //Get Variables Civicrm
   		$firstName = $objectRef->first_name;
        $lastName = $objectRef->last_name;
  
   // Telerivet code
    $contact = $project->getOrCreateContact(array(
    'name' => '$displayName', 
    'phone_number' => "$phone_numberic", 
    'vars' => array('first' => '$firstName', 'last' => '$lastName')
));
  }
}

I see a few issues here, but some of them may be because I'm not Joomla-savvy. I don't see a processProfile hook in the CiviCRM hook reference though.

A question though - are you only trying to reach folks who gave through a certain form? Or any time a contact is entered? If the latter, I'd use civicrm_post. If through a certain form, use the postProcess hook.

It also looks like you only have one parameter on your hook ($name), but make sure you include all the parameters for the appropriate hook. For a postProcess hook, the form values are in the $form array. For a contact, it's in the $objectRef properties.

Thanks so much for you help. I am wanting it to limit it to just when a contact is entered or updated from the backend Add New Individual or on editing an individual

Here is some updated Code I am using. I just don't know how to limit the function to only the new individual and edit on the backend?

Code: [Select]

function civicrm_postProcess( $formName, &$form ) {
//How do I use an if statement to select the backend individual new and edit form

//Telerivet API CONNECT
require_once JPATH_SITE.'/media/civicrm/telerivet/telerivet.php';
$API_KEY = 'apikey';
$PROJECT_ID = 'project id number';
$telerivet = new Telerivet_API($API_KEY);
$project = $telerivet->initProjectById($PROJECT_ID);


	 
	 //Get Variables Civicrm
   		$firstName = $form->getVar( 'first_name' );
        $lastName = $form->getVar( 'last_name' );
  		$contactid = $form->getVar('contact_id');
		$phone = $form->getVar('phone');
		$displayName = $form->getVar('display_name');
		
   // Telerivet Post New Contact to Telerivet 
    $contact = $project->getOrCreateContact(array(
    'name' => $displayName, 
    'phone_number' => $phone, 
    'vars' => array('first' => $firstName, 'last' => $lastName, 'civiid' => $contactid)
));
	
    
}
}

It doesn't seem that I am getting the variables from the CiviCRM forms correctly. Could anyone help with that?

I now have it working except I can't get the phone_numeric out of the phone array. Any ideas?

Code: [Select]

function civicrm_post( $op, $objectName, $objectId, &$objectRef ) {
civicrm_initialize( true );
require_once 'CRM/Core/Config.php';
$config =& CRM_Core_Config::singleton( );

//Telerivet API CONNECT
require_once JPATH_SITE.'/media/civicrm/telerivet/telerivet.php';
$API_KEY = '------';
$PROJECT_ID = '-------';
$telerivet = new Telerivet_API($API_KEY);
$project = $telerivet->initProjectById($PROJECT_ID);
//CRM_Core_Error::debug($form);
//exit( );
	 
	 //Get Variables Civicrm
   		$firstName = $objectRef->first_name;
        $lastName = $objectRef->last_name;
  		
		$phone = $objectRef->phone->phone_numeric;
		$displayName = $objectRef->display_name;
		
   // Telerivet Post New Contact to Telerivet 
    $contact = $project->getOrCreateContact(array(
    'name' => $displayName, 
    'phone_number' => $phone, 
    'vars' => array('first' => $firstName, 'last' => $lastName)
));
	
    
}
}

I figured out the code to get the phone

Code: [Select]

   		$firstName = $objectRef->first_name;
        $lastName = $objectRef->last_name;
  		
		$phone = $objectRef->phone[0]->phone;
		$displayName = $objectRef->display_name;
