Store Custom Datatype attribute with CreateandpublishObject API

Wednesday 17 August 2011 7:19:02 am

I have a class in which custom datatype attribute. How to store data in that attribute by using createAndPublishObject API.

Following Code I have,

 <?php
$attributeList = array( 'id' => '202.1.2', //Custom DataType 
     'label' => $label);
$params = array();
$params['parent_node_id'] = $parentNodeID;
$params['creator_id'] = $creatorID;
$params['class_identifier'] = 'conditions';
$params['attributes'] = $attributeList;

$contentObject = eZContentFunctions::createAndPublishObject( $params );
?>

Hello Marko,

There is already fromstring method implemented in custom datatype. Is this the right implementation of fromstring method for custom datatype?

function fromString( $contentObjectAttribute, $string )    
{
        if ( $string == '' )
            return true;
        $contentObjectAttribute->setAttribute( 'data_text', $string );
        return true;    
}

Hi Mark,

Yes, I have put the right attribute identifier in $attributeList. Other attribute(label) stored successfully.

following methods are there in custom datatype

     function fetchObjectAttributeHTTPInput( $http, $base, $contentObjectAttribute )
    {
    if ( $http->hasPostVariable( $base . "_data_oscar_identifier_" . $contentObjectAttribute->attribute( "id" ) ) )
        {
            $data = $http->postVariable( $base . "_data_oscar_identifier_" . $contentObjectAttribute->attribute( "id" ) );
            $contentObjectAttribute->setAttribute( "data_int", $data );
            $contentClassAttribute = eZContentClassAttribute::fetch( $contentObjectAttribute->attribute( 'contentclassattribute_id' ));
            $contentObjectAttribute->setAttribute( "data_text", $contentClassAttribute->attribute('data_text1').$data );
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
    /*!     Store the content. Since the content has been stored in function fetchObjectAttributeHTTPInput(),
     this function is with empty code.    */ 
   function storeObjectAttribute( $contentObjectattribute )
    {
    }
