Using Profiles like social Media sites

Hello

here is a draft FAQ article about this, please note that it is untested/incomplete:

How to create a FLEXIcontent item by calling the FLEXIcontent item model in custom code

Thanks a million.

The line
require_once(JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components'.DS.'com_flexicontent'.DS.'models'.DS.'item.php');

does not let me proceed. (code stops on this line)

So I dropped it.

So I do :
$mynewitem = new FlexicontentModelItem();
$data = array();
$data = 0; // indicate a new item will be created
$data = "1" ; // e.g. 1 for article
$data= 'en-GB'; // e.g. 'en-GB'
$data = 1;
$data = array("1","2","3");
$data = 2; // item version is approved
$data = 1; // 1 for published ...
$data = 'PHP CODE CREATED TITLE';
$data = 'PHP CODE CREATED DESCRIPTION';
$mynewitem->store($data);


Then the code goes upto mynewitem-store where it enters the Store method in ParentclassItem.php of Flex.

Then it throws invalid token on entry!! (It is right at start of the "store" method)

Am I doing something wrong with includes?

Just hairline away from my integration... your help much appreciated.

require_once(JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components'.DS.'com_flexicontent'.DS.'models'.DS.'item.php');

you need it,

you can not create the object (item model) if you do not load the class file.


- are you loading Joomla API before calling the above ?
- does it say that DS is unknown ?

for loading the Joomla Framework, please see the above article, i have updated it

Hi

I am so sorry still struggling with this code.

This is inside the item.php of a template called Welcome (welcoem template created from blog template)...

The code hangs at :
require_once(JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components'.DS.'com_flexicontent'.DS.'models'.DS.'item.php');

Thanks in anticipation

$data = array("1","2","3"); //e.g. array(55,117,56) an array of the secondary categories of the item

$data = 2; // item version is approved
$data = 1; // 1 for published ...

$data = 'PHP CODE CREATED TITLE';
$data = 'PHP CODE CREATED DESCRIPTION';

$mynewitem->store($data);

?>

Look forward to your guidance... thanks

Hello



best solution is that you use new plugin and let plugin do this work, by adding a replacement inside your template



it is almost done, but closing bugs for final FC version is a priority, plug our paid work, will try to finish plugin next days, i am sorry we could not have it earier

Thanks

Hello

sorry i answered a different question (confused with another forum)

you want to create an item, not display the profile item

the only way to do this is create the data array
and pass it to the save task of the model

Ohh ok.

Yes I am trying to send data array to save.
But the problem is with include.

Hello

you mean that:

anything after:
require_once(JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components'.DS.'com_flexicontent'.DS.'models'.DS.'item.php');

is not executed ?


please MAKE sure that you have enabled error reporting so that PHP errors get printed


at the top of you PHP file:
