V2 API Problem
September 14, 2008, 01:55:18 am
I have a custom Drupal 5 module which uses:

Code: [Select]
require_once 'api/v2/Event.php';

and then

Code: [Select]
civicrm_event_search

to use the API in CiviCRM 2.0.4 Drupal PHP5. Until last week, it was working fine. This week, when I call that function, execution of my script stops.

I traced through the code carefully and found that the last line being executed is the one just before this one:

Code: [Select]
                    $customOption = CRM_Core_BAO_CustomOption::getCustomOption($field['id'], $inactiveNeeded);

which is line 853 of CRM\Core\BAO\CustomGroup.php in the section "case 'CheckBox':" of "static function setDefaults"

I determined that I previously had no custom checkbox fields, but we indeed added one last week to a custom group which is used for events. Seems to me that since adding that field, the API doesn't work. I am unable to run an API call on the demo site (AFAIK) so I can't recreate this for you.

Can you elaborate a bit more on "execution of my script stops."? Does it throw an error on the screen / drupal watchdog table / php error log? if so what is the error. Is it missing a

require_once 'CRM/Core/BAO/CustomOption.php';

on line 852? Most likely it is, here is a patch for 2.1, something similar will work for 2.0.x

Code: [Select]
--- CRM/Core/BAO/CustomGroup.php        (revision 17061)
+++ CRM/Core/BAO/CustomGroup.php        (working copy)
@@ -797,6 +797,7 @@
 
     static function setDefaults( &$groupTree, &$defaults, $viewMode = false, $inactiveNeeded = false )
     {
+        require_once 'CRM/Core/BAO/CustomOption.php';
         foreach ( $groupTree as $id => $group ) {
             if ( $id === 'info' ) {
                 continue;

You are precisely correct. I ran it first on another server which has better error reporting, and the error indeed is:

Code: [Select]
Fatal error: Class 'CRM_Core_BAO_CustomOption' not found in E:\ApacheRoot\mYsite\sites\all\modules\civicrm\CRM\Core\BAO\CustomGroup.php on line 854

Adding your patch fixed it. Thank you very much!
