I'm trying to create a link to a CiviCRM-integrated Drupal webform that passes the ID of a contact's employer

I'm trying to use

http://somedomain.org/node/9999?cid1=[current-user:civicrm-contact:employer-id]

but the token replacement is blank. [current-user:civicrm-contact:employer-id] also does not work. However, [current-user:civicrm-contact:current-employer] does replace with the name of the current employer.

  • Gosh I didn't even know tokens like that existed. What module is generating them?

  • and this can't be done without tokens by putting the Contact's ID in the url and setting cid2 to be filtered based on the relationship?

    The CiviCRM Entity module is where those tokens come from. drupal.org/project/civicrm_entity

We ended up using Markup field in the webform with some PHP code that made a CiviCRM API call:

<?php
$params = array(
  'version' => 3,
  'is_active' => 1,
  'sequential' => 1,
  'contact_id_a' => $_SESSION['CiviCRM']['contact_id'],
  'relationship_type_id' => 4,  // Employee Of
);
$result = civicrm_api('Relationship', 'get', $params);

if ( ! $result['is_error'] ) {
  $employer_id = array_shift($result['values'])['contact_id_b'];
}

if ( $employer_id ) { ?>
    <input onclick="location.href='/link-to-webform?cid1=<?php echo $employer_id ?>';" type="button" value="Manage Contacts" />
<?php }

I'm going to file an issue on the module.

  • This will only be correct if there is only 1 employer. If there are multiple employers this will give rather randomly the one that sequential finds first.
