Create Flexicontent item in custom code

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?

Thanks!
