CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Hello,

In a nutshell, I'm able to pull native CiviCRM fields into a view, but not the custom ones. Let me also say, that I am a far-cry from a developer so bear with me if I need a little hand-holding.

Here is my post on drupal.org outlining my process/problem: http://drupal.org/node/434974
Here is the post (replied to by the module maintainer) that makes me think it's possible: http://drupal.org/node/194493

I also poked around the civinode_views.inc file in the module and noticed this part of the code that pulls the data based on the field name...seems to me that it doesn't like numeric values. (again, I'm pretty good at getting the gist of the code...but debugging is hard for me)

**********

function civinode_view_contact_field_view_handler($fieldinfo, $fielddata, $value, $data) {
  if (!is_numeric($value) or $value == 0)
    return FALSE;
  $contact = array();
  _civinode_cck_cache_mgr('fetch', '_crm_views', $value,$contact);
  if (!$contact)
    return FALSE;
  $field_name = $fielddata['options'] ?
                   $fielddata['options']:
                   'display_name';
  $modified = $contact[$field_name];
  if ($modified)
    return $modified;
  else
    return $value;   
}
**************************

If I'm reading this right...is it possible to adjust this function to that it will accept the ID's of the custom fields maybe by inputting something like "custom_id#"?

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.

Kristin
PS. I'm happy to make up any lack of skills to modifying code by adding to the documentation.

I'm using Drupal 5 with civicrm 2.0.5 (Upgrading to 6 isn't an option right now)

Yeah....I've emailed the module maintainer directly last week...and no reply....so I thought I'd try here too. I'd love nothing more to upgrade but right now I don't have the money, time, nor expertise to face it.  Thanks for your help.

Cheers,
Kristin
