Hello! We are trying to import some XML data into Exponential and would like the import extension to assign a location for the newly created object depending on the data we are importing. In most cases a single imported object would have multiple locations in the Exponential content tree. Can anyone suggest some PHP code to use to:
(a) automatically create a new location in the content tree, depending on the data read in
(b) automatically place a newly imported object in that specific location, depending on the data read in
(c) automatically add a location for an existing object, depending on the data read in. The import extensions we've seen so far all require the user to enter a location for the new objects, we want them to be located dynamically. Thanks! Andy

Hello Andy, So, to create new object in the content tree:
/* To find the id of the class without stock it in .ini */
$class = eZContentClass::fetchByIdentifier( 'folder' );
$contentObject = $class->instantiateIn( $languageToUse, $userId, $sectionId, false, EZ_VERSION_STATUS_INTERNAL_DRAFT );
/* You create the temp node*/
$node = eZNodeAssignment::create( array(
'contentobject_id' => $contentObject->attribute( 'id' ),
'contentobject_version' => $contentObject->attribute( 'current_version' ),
'parent_node' => $idOfTheParentNode,
'is_main' => 1,
'sort_field' => $class->attribute( 'sort_field' ),
'sort_order' => $class->attribute( 'sort_order' ) ) );
/* Store your temp node */
$node->store();
/* Create the first version */
$version =& $contentObject->version( 1 );
$version->setAttribute( 'status', EZ_VERSION_STATUS_DRAFT );
$version->store();
/* Set the name of the new object */
$contentObject->setName( $theNameOfTheNewObject );
/* Fetch the datamap of the object to modify the attributes */
$contentObjectDataMap =& $contentObject->dataMap();
/* Set the value of the title */
$contentObjectDataMap['title']->setAttribute( 'data_text', $theNameOfTheNewObject );
$contentObjectDataMap['title']->store();
$contentObject->store();
/* After you publish the new object */
include_once( 'lib/ezutils/classes/ezoperationhandler.php' );
$operationResult = eZOperationHandler::execute( 'content', 'publish', array(
'object_id' => $contentObject->attribute( 'id' ),
'version' => $version->attribute( 'version' ) ) );
Here, you have your new object.
After, if you want to add locations to your object :
$insertedNode =& $contentObject->addLocation( $nodeToLink, true );
$insertedNode->setAttribute( 'contentobject_is_published', 1 );
$insertedNode->setAttribute( 'main_node_id', $contentObject->mainNodeID() );
$insertedNode->setAttribute( 'contentobject_version', $contentObject->attribute('current_version') );
$insertedNode->updateSubTreePath();
$insertedNode->sync();
That's all.
Hope this help
