How to create a article via API / auto-create of articles

[leitel]

Thank you. It works!!

I noticed however that the new node/article is not found when searching content contained in a newly added article.

Is there a method for forcing an update of the index?

Your post made my day!!!!

--------------- Added [DATE]1289599712[/DATE] at [TIME]1289599712[/TIME] ---------------

I tried this to index the new article:

PHP Code:

vB_Search_Indexcontroller_QueueProcessor::indexNow('vBCms', 'vBCms_Article','index', array_slice(func_get_args(), 3)); 


Still no joy.

The last parameter is looking for an Associative Array of values. I suppose I can manually populate an array.

Here is the revised code to set publish ON and to index the article immediately. If you adding a batch, it would be better to find the way to index them as a batch.

PHP Code:

<?php
define('VB_AREA', 'API');
define('VB_ENTRY', 1);

require('./includes/init.php');
require_once(DIR . '/includes/class_bootstrap_framework.php');
require_once (DIR . "/vb/search/core.php");
require_once (DIR . '/vb/search/indexcontroller/queueprocessor.php');

vB_Bootstrap_Framework::init();

function create_article($sectionid, $title, $pagetext, $userid, $description = '', $htmltitle = '')
{
    global $db;

    if (!$htmltitle)
    {
        $htmltitle = $title;
    }

    $nodedm = new vBCMS_DM_Article();
    $nodedm->info['skip_verify_pagetext'] = true;
    $nodedm->set('contenttypeid', vB_Types::instance()->getContentTypeID('vBCms_Article'));
    $nodedm->set('parentnode', $sectionid);
    $nodedm->set('publicpreview', 1);
    $nodedm->set('comments_enabled', 1);
    $nodedm->set('pagetext', $pagetext);
    $nodedm->set('title', $title);
    $nodedm->set('html_title', $htmltitle);
    $nodedm->set('description', $description);
    $nodedm->set('userid', $userid);
    $nodedm->set('publishdate', TIMENOW);
    $nodedm->set('url', vB_Friendly_Url::clean_entities($title));
    if (!$nodeid = $nodedm->save())
    {
        return false;
    }
    else
    {
        $db->query_write("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "cms_node SET new = 0, setpublish = 1 WHERE nodeid = $nodeid");
    }
    $data['nodeid'] = $nodeid;
    $data['pagetext'] = $pagetext;
    vB_Search_Indexcontroller_QueueProcessor::indexNow('vbcms', 'article','index', $data);
    return $nodeid;
}
create_article(1, 'Now is the time for all good martians...', 'Dies ist ein Test', 1, 'foo');
