export DataAccessGroups #5

Closed rparrish closed 10 years ago

rparrish commented 10 years ago

Need to be able to configure this API setting.

The simplest approach would be to add it like the other settings.

Thanks @rparrish. I like the idea, and we're happy to add that. Do you think you'd use that feature soon?

I'd been planning to delay including some of the API parameters, so the test suite didn't get too big (and time consuming to change) before our function signatures stabilized.

The exportDataAccessGroups is a relatively new feature in REDCap, isn't it? Do you know what would happen if that parameter was passed to an older version of REDCap, or should I ask the group?

rparrish commented 10 years ago

I'd definitely use this feature soon for a project I'm working on now, but I already have a REDCap API function that works OK, so it's not urgent.

I just tested foo = bar as parameter to REDCap's API and returned a normal result. This indicates to me that the API won't choke on invalid parameters and older versions should be OK.

That's a nice that it's one less thing that we probably won't have to worry about.

I assume you're using R and RCurl for your project?

rparrish commented 10 years ago

Yes, that's correct.

Addressed by #7. Thanks again, @rparrish.

If you end up using this parameter, tell me if you encounter any problems. -Will
