Create new Category using new Category in a php

[iulianv]

Hello,

 

i have a question if anyone could answer it.

 

i have a piece of code that creates a new category inside a custom script..

 

like so

 

$category = new Category;
$category->id_category = 155;
$category->active = 0;
$category->id_parent = 15;
$category->name = "category";
$category->link_rewrite = "one-category";
$category->add();

 

my problem is that the id_category = 155 is not inserted into the database .. it takes the next autoincremented id instead .. like 12 .. 13.. 15 ..

 

any ideas? Thanks.

Try this:

$category = new Category;
$category->id = 155;
$category->active = 0;
$category->id_parent = 15;
$category->name = "category";
$category->link_rewrite = "one-category";
//this will force ObjectModel to use your ID
$_GET['forceIDs'] = true;
$category->add();

Thanks for the quick response Simone, but still no.

 

even with forceIDs=true still incremented ..

or $category = new Category(155);

or $category->id_category = 155;  :|

 

another approach?!

Here's my working code (tested on PS 1.6.0.5):

        $_GET['forceIDs'] = true;
        $cat = new Category();
        $cat->id = 100;
        $cat->description = [ 1=> 'd' ];
        $cat->id_parent = 2;
        $cat->is_root_category = false;
        $cat->link_rewrite = [ 1=> 'lr' ];
        $cat->meta_description = [ 1=> 'md' ];
        $cat->meta_keywords = [ 1=> 'mk' ];
        $cat->meta_title = [ 1=> 'mt' ];
        $cat->name = [ 1=> 'name' ];
        $save = $cat->add();
        d([$save ? $save : 'error', $cat]);

show the code you're trying to use, everything depends on it

Can you please tell how to create the same functionality for 1.7?

Try:

$cat->force_id = true; // Working in Prestashop 1.7.7.3
