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

define( 'DS', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR );

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

require_once ( JPATH_BASE .DS.'includes'.DS.'defines.php' );
require_once ( JPATH_BASE .DS.'includes'.DS.'framework.php' );


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

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

$mynewitem = new FlexicontentModelItem();
$data = array();
$data = 0; // indicate a new item will be created

// Type and language
$data = "1" ; // e.g. 1 for article
$data= 'en-GB'; // e.g. 'en-GB'

// main category, secondary categories and tags
$data = 1; // INTEGER ... the main category of the item
$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
