Author Topic: Custom Search task is hidden by CiviCore permission checking (Read 723 times)

Hi,

The SimpleMail extension creates custom search task:SimpleMail mass mailing for sending mass mailing in basic search. (We have created the search task from CiviCRM hook: simplemail_civicrm_searchTasks.) The search task is hidden if the CiviCRM permission CiviCRM: edit all contacts is disabled. We have a particular user group which is prohibited from edit any contacts but they are allowed to send email using SimpleMail mass mailing in search task.

I looked deep down in CiviCRM Core: ../civicrm/CRM/Contact/Task.php
A searchtask hook will be called in initTasks() function and our search task will be created, however it will be took out in &permissionedTaskTitles function according to permission checking.

One solution I can think of is to override CiviCRM Core which I will take this as my last option.
I reckon there might be a better way to fix this or I might miss something out there.

Please if any one can suggest.

Thank you very much

PS: System use Drupal 7.34 + CiviCRM 4.4.10 + SimpleMail ext.

from a brief look at the code:

1. does the searchTasks hook help you?

2. If not, i would do:

a. hack the Task.php code and get it to work for your use case

b. refactor the code so you can get it to work via a (new?) hook

c. contribute the hook code and docs back so that it can be incorporated in 4.6
