Hello,

To ease our migration from our internal version of our Exponential projects, I would like to be able to create/alter objects through a script and not in the back office in a manual way.

So I would like to know if the API allows :
- to create new object
- to update object attributes (mainly add news ones for my current needs)
- if it's feasible, where can I find some code samples and documentation to implement this.

Regards,
Nicolas

Hi,

You may use a one shot cronjob. In order to do that, you can look at :
- runcronjobs.php and the cronjobs directory files, to understand how to design your cronjob
- this article in ezpedia :

Hope it helps.

Chears.

Hi,

Thanks for the url.

Since my post, I could find the following one (for those who could also search for):

http://ez.no/developer/contribs/hacks/update_object_attributes

http://ez.no/developer/contribs/hacks/update_class_from_command_line

http://ezpedia.org/wiki/fr/ez/creating_new_content_objects_with_php

http://ezpedia.org/wiki/fr/ez/creating_new_content_object_versions_with_php

http://ezpedia.org/wiki/en/ez/import

but I had no time yet to dive into them.

Thanks for the link on the cronjob at is would save some time regarding the environnement initalisation.

For import/export contribs, I did not think about them this way. Thanks a lot too !

Regards,
Nicolas
