Author Topic: Ability to provide callback when creating an activity with civicrm_activity_crea (Read 1646 times)

Hello,
In 1.5.4 when creating the activity history (crm_create_activity_history), one parameter can be a callback function. Since this api is deprecated in 2.0 we are using civicrm_activity_create which doesn't have this capability. Is there a workaround for this or should I modify the actionlinks api in Activity.php to reset the url depending on activity type?
Thanks.

Hey,

I don't think there is a possibility at the moment to define callback function for activity.

However, could you describe your use case? Knowing what you need could be very helpful in providing some built in mechanism for extending/customising activities.

Thx,

Michal, when looking at transactions from the contact's activity tab and user clicks on the view link, instead of looking at activity details, we want the user to see the transaction invoice details. In 1.5.4 we were using the callback to direct the user to transaction invoice page.
Thanks.

Hey,

I took a look at Activity API surroundings and I'm thinking the preferred approach would be to have some kind of callback/handler defined based on activity type.

However, I'm pretty sure that providing it will not happen for 2.2 stable, I would rather see version 2.3 or later for this functionality to be introduced. In the meanwhile, you will need to introduce the hack you mentioned.

Thx,

Thanks Michal. I will implement the hack.
