How to call getCategories() method

[dr7tbien]

Today Iǜe been in Barcelona prestashop meeting and I was asking them them about how to insert categories and products using the object PRESTASHOP model, The staff there told me that admin folder autoload atomatically PRESTASHOP classes.

 

I coud see how they a similar code in a blanka file

 

 

$cats = getCategories);
print_r ($cats);

 

and I could watch the results of print_r showing a array with all categories.

 

Now I've tryed the same code in my server in a blank file the the following result:

 

 

Call to undefined function  getcategories() in xxxx on line 365

 

Also I've tryed with:

 

$cats = Category::getCategories);
print_r ($cats);

 

etc...

 

My target is to load all the categories to check some issues, but by the moment is impossible as you can see.

Hi. I could get the Solution for this. PRESTASHOP has a file named autoload.php in config/autoload.php

 

The solution is load this file using foir example require_once. this is an example code:

 

We can suppose our script is in

 

/home/user/public_html/prestashop/admin_prestashop/myScript.php

 

and now the myScript.php code

 

<?
include_once "../config/autoload.php";

/* getCategories arguments
*  arg 1 - id of the default language
*  arg 2 - true | false - Only active categories
*  arg 3 - true | false - Para indicar que no es un pedido
*
*  Without arguments the result array is confused [/font]
[font=courier new,courier,monospace]*/

$cats = Category::getCategories( (int)($cookie->id_lang), true, false  ) ;
print_r($cats);

foreach ($cats as $cat)
  echo "\n id_category = " .$cats['id_category'] . " name = " . $category['name'];

?>
