Accessing a contact from Drupal
April 11, 2009, 02:41:30 am
Hi all,

Is there a CiviCRM API exposed in Drupal? In fact I need to load a contact object (or array?) in Drupal (in template.php) that corresponds to a Drupal user ($user->uid)... How do I access the contact data? I there a simple (API) way?

Thanks.
Claudiu

check:

http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/API+Overview

you will need to use:

civicrm_uf_match_id_get (api/v2/UFGroup.php)
civicrm_contact_get (api/v2/Contact.php)

Thank you... In (Drupal) template.php I put:

Code: [Select]
function mytheme_username($object) {
  civicrm_initialize(true);
  $userID = crm_uf_get_match_id($object->uid);
  $cg = array( 'contact_id' => $userID );
  $ob = civicrm_contact_get( $cg );

  [...]

}

I get this error:
Code: [Select]
Fatal error: Call to undefined function crm_uf_get_match_id() in /var/www/html/sites/all/themes/mytheme/template.php on line 177
I thought that civicrm_initialize(true) should prepare all the environment (loading necessary files, etc.). Is this a bug or I miss something? I used http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Using+CiviCRM+APIs+-+Code+Snippets#UsingCiviCRMAPIs-CodeSnippets-GetaCiviCRMuserobject as sample...

Finally using the below code solves the isue:
Code: [Select]
function mytheme_username($object) {
  civicrm_initialize(TRUE);
  global $civicrm_root;
  include_once($civicrm_root . '/api/UFGroup.php');
  $userID = crm_uf_get_match_id($object->uid);
  $cg = array('contact_id' => $userID);
  include_once($civicrm_root . '/api/v2/Contact.php');
  $ob = civicrm_contact_get($cg);

  [...]

}

Note that there is no crm_uf_get_match_id() in "api/v2". It's only in "api"...

Thanks a lot!
Claudiu

we've fixed this in 2.2 and ported it to api/v2 (api will be deprecated in a future release)
