Frustrating that the other forms of getting the contactID aren't maintained, but maybe there is a reason. For other readers, just to clarify: ErikH's comment only gets you the current entityID - so in other words an activityID if the current entity is an activity etc. It doesn't get you the contactID unless you are in a contact. | |

As Erik notes there is $form->_entityId, and then assuming you mean the "reported by"/"author" contact of the existing activity being edited, you can do $result = civicrm_api3('Activity', 'get', ['return' => ["source_contact_id"], 'id' => $form->_entityId,]); and then the contact id is in $result['values']['source_contact_id'].
