CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I finally got this mod working but now it's tuned into a developer issues because it's throwing the same error every time I enter an email,

The function is:
function civicrm_subscribe($email, $params = array(), $groups = array()) {

Under the line below I added some debugging code:
$contact =& crm_get_contact(array('email' => $email));

echo "<pre>contact:";
print_r($contact);
echo "<pre>";exit;

It display onlt the label, "Contact".

If instead I put:
echo "<pre>groups:";
print_r($groups);
echo "<pre>";exit;

it displays:
groups:Array
(
   

• => 6

)

So, it's not getting/creating the contact using:
crm_get_contact(array('email' => $email))

Any ideas?

So the CiviCRM Subscribe, partially supported by CiviActions, is using the wrong code in the module?

Here's the code leading up to that point:
function civicrm_subscribe($email, $params = array(), $groups = array()) {
  if (module_exists('civicrm')) {
    civicrm_initialize(true);

    // if groups specified, then get the default group(s)
    if (count($groups) == 0) {
      $groups = _civicrm_subscribe_get_groups();
    }

    // get (or create) the contact
    $contact =& crm_get_contact(array('email' => $email));

Note that that last line gets or creates a new contact.  Does the civicrm_contact_add() get or create one or do I need to replace that one line with several?  If so, can you point me to the documentation?

Many many thanks for your help!

So I would do something like:

$params = array( 'email' => $email );
If(&civicrm_contact_get( $params )){
   $contact =&civicrm_contact_get($params)
}else{
    $params = array('email'         => 'dan.conberg@myco.com');
    $contact =&civicrm_contact_add($params);
}
