Best way to get a custom value table (civicrm_value_)
March 11, 2015, 02:26:28 pm
I've been digging through the BAO/DAO and I can't quite figure out if there is a method to easily grab the name of the table for a custom value group.

For example, I know that I have created a custom group named 'my_group'. Civicrm creates a table called 'civicrm_value_my_group_X'. Is there an efficient way to get this table name from PHP?

I have seen ::getTableName();, but I'm not quite sure how to implement it in this case.

Thanks!

Try doing civicrm_api3('CustomGroup', 'get') from the Api Explorer - you'll see the table names :)
Try asking your question on the new CiviCRM help site.

Seriously...

Coleman, it's supposed to be more complicated than that!

Thanks :)
