Hi,

you can do sth like this, first array is for basic object - article int his case, second one for your additional content type fields

$content    =   new JCckContent( array( 'joomla_article' ) );
            $status     =   $content->create(
                'some_content_type',
                array(
                    'title'=>JFactory::getDate()->toSql(),
                    'catid'=>19,
                    'state'=>1,
                    'language'=>'*',
                    'publish_up'=>JFactory::getDate()->toSql(),
                    'created_by'=> JFactory::getUser()->id
                ),
                array(
                    'field0'=>'something',
                    'field1'=>'somehing else',
                )
            );

Hello Klas,

your solution would perfectly fit my needs, but in version 3.3.6 of Seblod is the function create in class JCckContent empty. This does not work. 

Is the create method implemented in an alpha version?

Where is the source repository to have a look on the current development?

Best regards

I don't think jcckcontent support tags, since tags basically store things in independent/standalone table (#__tags). Also for custom field, jcckcontent is only support for the 'locked' one (attached to specific content type)

The problem arise because it looks for additional table.

For example i create content type 'book', and i am only using core joomla article. Seblod does not create additional table #__cck_store_form_book . i look on 'create' method, and it called CCKTable Instance:
"$this->_instance_more=JCckTable::getInstance( '#__cck_store_form_'.$this->_type );"

How to skip this line IF i don't need extra fields on extra table ?

Hi Guys, i just spend few hours to tweak JCckContent.. and now i can create, update, load content from external apps. Please note that this approach is a direct manipulation to seblod database and you're playing with raw data... and it works with plain data (that's why i call it simple). If you have interest to test you can visit my git here:

https://github.com/doxadigital/simpleseblodapi

Please don't hesitate to contribute :D

Desclaimer: this is developer stuff, no gui.. and not supported by Octopoos.. please test on production stage first.

if you have question, post here, don't PM me.. i rarely read PM :D

Hi Viktor. Thanks a lot for your contribution!

It is a very important step for using seblod in extensions. I actually use it from the cli..

I made a pull request containg a fix (sql query contains your table prefix).
