Create Flexicontent item in custom code was created by JeBy

Hi everyone,

I want to be able to create an item through AJAX so my users don't have to go through the whole form when having to add a new item quickly and thanks to the article here I had an explanation of the Model:

www.flexicontent.org/documentation/faq/7...-in-custom-code.html

However, when I implemented this code I get the following errors:

Warning: Creating default object from empty value in /.../administrator/components/com_flexicontent/models/parentclassitem.php on line 1627

Fatal error: Class 'flexicontent_db' not found in /.../administrator/components/com_flexicontent/models/parentclassitem.php on line 1698

Here's the code:

Code:

<?php
// Get Joomla! framework
define( '_JEXEC', 1 );
define( '_VALID_MOS', 1 );
define( 'JPATH_BASE', realpath(dirname(__FILE__).'/..' ));
define( 'DS', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR );
require_once ( JPATH_BASE .DS.'includes'.DS.'defines.php' );
require_once ( JPATH_BASE .DS.'includes'.DS.'framework.php' );

$app = JFactory::getApplication('site');
$app->initialise();

$fieldid = $_REQUEST['fieldid'];
$title = $_REQUEST['title'];

// Create the item model object, WARNING !!! you may have to import more files HERE !!
require_once(JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components'.DS.'com_flexicontent'.DS.'models'.DS.'item.php');
$item_model = new FlexicontentModelItem();

if (isset($fieldid))
{
	$db = JFactory::getDbo();
 
 	// GET TYPE
	$query = $db->getQuery(true);
	
	$query->select('type_id');
	$query->from('#__flexicontent_fields_type_relations');
	$query->where('field_id = '.$fieldid.'');
	 
	$db->setQuery($query);
	 
	$type = $db->loadResult();
	
	// GET CATEGORY
	$query = $db->getQuery(true);
	
	$query->select('attribs');
	$query->from('#__flexicontent_types');
	$query->where('id = '.$type.'');
	 
	$db->setQuery($query);
	 
	$attribs = json_decode($db->loadResult());
	
	$cat = $attribs->catid_default;
	
}
 
// Create the new item data
$data = array();
$data['id'] = 0; // indicate a new item will be created
 
// Type and language
$data['type_id'] = $type; // e.g. 1 for article
$data['language']= 'en-GB'; // e.g. 'en-GB'
 
// main category, secondary categories and tags
$data['catid']   = $cat; // INTEGER ... the main category of the item
$data['cid']     = ''; //e.g. array(55,117,56)  an array of the secondary categories of the item
$data['tag']     = ''; //e.g. array(13,43,34)  an array of the tags of the item
 
$data['vstate']  = 2;  // item version is approved
$data['state']   = 1;  // 1 for published ...
 
$data['title']   = $title;
$data['text']    = '';
 
// Custom fields
/*$data['custom']['field1'] = 'this value of field 1';
$data['custom']['field2'][0] = 'this value 0 of field 2';
$data['custom']['field2'][1] = 'this value 1 of field 2';
$data['custom']['field2'][2] = 'this value 2 of field 2';*/
 
 
// Store the new item and log the result in file and on screen
if ( !$item_model->store($data) ) {
  $msg = 'Failed to create the new item '. $item_model->getError();
  //JLog::add($msg);
  echo $msg."<br/>";
}

echo json_encode($item_model->getId());
?>

Anyone know what I'm supposed to do?? Thanks ahead!

Hello

i have update the article:
www.flexicontent.org/documentation/faq/7...-in-custom-code.html

so the start of your file should be the following and then add your code
-- also,
we assume that your custom script is located in your JOOMLA root folder,
e.g. if it is located in a subfolder: custom/myscripts/ then use:

Code:

define( 'JPATH_BASE', realpath(dirname(__FILE__).'/../..' ));

Code:

<?php

// *********************
// Load Joomla framework
// *********************

define( '_JEXEC', 1 );
define( '_VALID_MOS', 1 );
define( 'JPATH_BASE', realpath(dirname(__FILE__)) );
define( 'DS', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR );
require_once ( JPATH_BASE .DS.'includes'.DS.'defines.php' );
require_once ( JPATH_BASE .DS.'includes'.DS.'framework.php' );

$app = JFactory::getApplication('site');
$app->initialise();

// Define component paths
define( 'JPATH_COMPONENT_SITE', JPATH_SITE.DS.'components'.DS.'com_flexicontent' );
define( 'JPATH_COMPONENT_ADMINISTRATOR', JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components'.DS.'com_flexicontent' );


// Create a log file
$log_filename = 'item_creation_'.($user->id).'.php';
jimport('joomla.log.log');
JLog::addLogger(array('text_file' => $log_filename));


// **************************************
// Include the needed classes and helpers
// **************************************

require_once (JPATH_COMPONENT_SITE.DS.'classes'.DS.'flexicontent.helper.php');
require_once (JPATH_COMPONENT_SITE.DS.'classes'.DS.'flexicontent.categories.php');
require_once (JPATH_COMPONENT_SITE.DS.'classes'.DS.'flexicontent.fields.php');
require_once (JPATH_COMPONENT_SITE.DS.'classes'.DS.'flexicontent.acl.php');
require_once (JPATH_COMPONENT_SITE.DS.'helpers'.DS.'permission.php');
require_once (JPATH_COMPONENT_SITE.DS.'helpers'.DS.'route.php');

// Add component's table directory to the include path
JTable::addIncludePath(JPATH_COMPONENT_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'tables');



// *******************
// Load language files
// *******************

// (BACKEND) Load english language file for 'com_content' component then override with current language file
JFactory::getLanguage()->load('com_content', JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR, 'en-GB', true);
JFactory::getLanguage()->load('com_content', JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR, null, true);
// (BACKEND) Load english language file for 'com_flexicontent' component then override with current language file
JFactory::getLanguage()->load('com_flexicontent', JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR, 'en-GB', true);
JFactory::getLanguage()->load('com_flexicontent', JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR, null, true);


// (FRONTEND) Load english language file for 'com_content' component then override with current language file
JFactory::getLanguage()->load('com_content', JPATH_SITE, 'en-GB', true);
JFactory::getLanguage()->load('com_content', JPATH_SITE, null, true);
// (FRONTEND) Load english language file for 'com_flexicontent' component then override with current language file
JFactory::getLanguage()->load('com_flexicontent', JPATH_SITE, 'en-GB', true);
JFactory::getLanguage()->load('com_flexicontent', JPATH_SITE, null, true);



// ****************************
// Create the item model object
// ****************************
require_once(JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components'.DS.'com_flexicontent'.DS.'models'.DS.'item.php');
$item_model = new FlexicontentModelItem();

This is not working for me anymore. I get "Failed to create the new item" with no error message to debug. Can you confirm it working for you with the latest build?

Is there any progress on fixing this code so it works with the current version of Flexicontent?

Thank you so much!

Hello

i have re-tested it works with FLEXIcontent
v3.0.14-rc2a
v3.0.15-rc

(in v3.0.14-rc2a you will get 2 harmless notices if you have PHP 7)

Please note that the example code has:
- 6 PHP syntax errors , places with: ...

you are supposed to corrected the syntax errors and add appropriate values
- i have edited the FAQ article and made minor changes 2 comments

Replied by JeBy on topic [SOLVED] Create Flexicontent item in custom code

Hi again. This is still not working for me. I'm getting the error "Failed to create the new item" but no details of how to resolve the error are given (I had to change $item->getError() to $item_model->getError() btw. I did fill in all the blank spaces so it's not that.

I was wondering if the function 'store' does not expect to get an author or at least something to verify that the user CAN add a new item, even if it's from an external script?

Thanks again for all the help!
