Create Product Programmatically

[PhpMadman]

I'm trying to add a product from my module.

The idea it so use PrestaShop webservice to get product information from our second server and then use the PS classes to create a product on the first server.

 

I get the info with WebService without any problems.

And the product gets created, but it's not complete.

                    $nlProduct = new Product(1596); // Remove ID later
                    $nlProduct->id_category_default = 2;
                    $nlProduct->id_category[]=$nlProduct->id_category_default;
                    $nlProduct->new;
                    $nlProduct->type = "simple";
                    $nlProduct->reference = $sgProduct->reference;
                    $nlProduct->weight =  $sgProduct->weight;
                    $nlProduct->price = ceil($sgProduct->wholesale_price*1.25);
                    $nlProduct->wholesale_price = $sgProduct->wholesale_price;
                    $nlProduct->active = 0;
                    $nlProduct->available_for_order = 1;
                    $nlProduct->show_price = 1;
                    $languages = Language::getLanguages();
                    foreach($languages as $lang){
                        $nlProduct->name[$lang['id_lang']] = $sgProduct->name->language;
                        $nlProduct->description[$lang['id_lang']] = $sgProduct->description->language;
                    }
                    echo($sgProduct->name->language);
//                     $nlProduct->add();
                    $nlProduct->update();

I added the ID number for the new product and changed to update while testing.

$sgProduct is the data from WebService, and $sgProduct->name->language does contain the name I want.

But the $nlProduct does no write any name to PrestaShop.

And also, the category does not get set, it has not categories selected in PS.

 

What am I missing here?

If I use PrestaShop's BO and add category and a random name to the product, the code works and updates to the correct name and category.

But if I use the code to add() the product, still no name and category, and if i change to update() again it does not set the name, and it give me a 500 Internal Error only visible in FireBug.

[PhpMadman]

Another update.

 

Even this small code causes 500 Error, and second ECHO is not displayed in browser, but still updates the reference.

echo('Test Code<br>');
   $resource =  new Product(1599);
    $resource->reference = 'TEST '.date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
   $resource->update();
    $resource = null;
echo('Test Code End<br>');

These is a question

 

why you  use 

 

$resource->update();

 

instead of 

 

$resource->save();

Beacuse i'm updateing a product. But neither update, add or save works, all of them gives me a 500 Error,

[jgamio]

Ok 

 

1- if you use save the object create or update the record with the id

 

2- Do you have develop mode on ?

 

3- do you have access to your server log?

 

To find out the error we need to know where is the mistake

[PhpMadman]

Hmm. Seems I never uploaded the file to enable  dev mode.

It's the little things.

 

It was missing link_rewrite. Added that, name and description and my test code worked just fine.

 

And also, this error did not produce any error / server log

 

*EDIT*

 

Real code works fine, all text / price file gets updated.

 

Now I'll just need to figure out how to download and add the product images...

 

Thanks for you help.
