[quote="Jasiek":3ic36f77]Copy Company Data - is a feature that allows you to create a contact by just entering the first and last name and copying values from the parent company like address, city etc. After copying the company values you can adjust them - for example company main phone number, e-mail address of the user etc. - before saving.
It is a time saving feature that pre-fills certain fields.
Update Contacts is a tool to update all contacts that are linked with that company with updated information. For example: Company ABC when created had an address 123 Main Street, Philadelphia, PA 19000. Then a number of contacts were created using "Copy Company Data" option. Now you may have several contacts with this address - 123 Main Street...
Company ABC moved to a new address - 9 Some Street, New York, NY 01000. All contacts under this company will still have old address and you would have to update them manually one-by-one. Using "Update Contacts" tool you can update all of them with just a few mouse clicks.
If you want to write your own tool look at the code: modules\CRM\Contacts\update_contact.php
and also: modules\CRM\Contacts\Contacts_0.php lines 227:
public function update_contacts_address_prompt($company, $lid) {
$html = '<br/>'.__('This action will update all contacts within this company with values copied from company record.').'<br/><br/>'.__('Please check which data would you like to copy to company contacts:');
$form = $this->init_module('Libs/QuickForm');
$data = array( /* Source ID, Target ID, Text, Checked state */
array('sid'=>'address_1', 'tid'=>'address_1', 'text'=>__('Address 1'), 'checked'=>true),
array('sid'=>'address_2', 'tid'=>'address_2', 'text'=>__('Address 2'), 'checked'=>true),

);
foreach($data as $row) {
if (!isset($company[$row['sid']])) continue;
$form->addElement('checkbox', $row['sid'], $row['text'], ' <span style="color: gray">'.$company[$row['sid']].'</span>', $row['checked'] ? array('checked'=>'checked'): array());
}
$ok = $form->createElement('submit', 'submit', __('Confirm'), array('onclick'=>'leightbox_deactivate("'.$lid.'")'));
$cancel = $form->createElement('button', 'cancel', __('Cancel'), array('onclick'=>'leightbox_deactivate("'.$lid.'")'));
$form->addGroup(array($ok, $cancel));
if($form->validate()) {
$values = $form->exportValues();
$fields = array();
foreach($data as $row) {
if(array_key_exists($row['sid'], $values)) {
$fields[$row['tid']] = $row['sid'];
}
}
$this->update_contacts_address($company, $fields);
location(array());
}
$html .= $form->toHtml();
return $html;
}
public function update_contacts_address($company, $fields) {
$recs = CRM_ContactsCommon::get_contacts(array('company_name' => $company['id']), array('id'));
$new_data = array();
foreach($fields as $k => $v) {
$new_data[$k] = $company[$v];
}
foreach($recs as $contact) {
Utils_RecordBrowserCommon::update_record('contact', $contact['id'], $new_data);
}
}
Note that your script does not have to be as complex as we are first displaying a prompt (Leightbox Prompt) to ask what fields will be updated.[/quote:3ic36f77]
