How To Use Classe Product

[imnotcraig]

Hi, How to use class product? I want to add a product from my own module and I code like this but it doesn't work

 

$p = new Product();
$p->name = "bla bla";
$p->description = "bla bla"
$p->price = 1000;
...
$p->add();

Hi,

 

Please, open class source and make sure that in your script all the fields marked as 'required' => true are filled.

 

Best regards.

Yes, I looked into the source code and I followed the comments.

The problem is when I do:

 

$ p-> name = "Product name";

 

This saves individually "P", "r", "o", .... then it is marked on the comments that the value of the $name is string.

Hi,

 

we don't understand your problem. Can you describe us your problem more clearly?

I want to know how to use class Product.

 

I use this class to add a product from my own module and It doesn't work.

Ex: $name saves a charactere not a string on database

[vekia]

you are talking about object model probaly, you should create an object with fields that are necessary for product class, exactly as Valérie Assetskaya mentioned above

I don't understand.

There's a reason that:

 

$ p-> name = "Product name";

 

Doesn't work, and that's because it should be an array of language strings and not just a string. If you look in the AdminImportController.php file you'll see that these are actually populated using a function:

 

   static function createMultiLangField($field)
   {
       $languages = Language::getLanguages(false);
       $res = array();
       foreach ($languages as $lang)
           $res[$lang['id_lang']] = $field;
       return $res;
   }

 

Use a similar function in your own code and the problem with the name will be fixed. You can see which fields require this by looking at the above admin import file for clues (in later PS1.5 versions the admin "tabs" are in controllers/admin)
