working with Channels (channel_data fields)
Development and Programming
15 years ago
so I have script running and it imports new channel entries to the channel_titles table.
my question is what is the best way for me to work with the custom fields associated with those specific channels? how do I associated each field_id_X and field_ft_x and field_dt_x with its proper fields? (and what do those stand for anyway?) is there a function I could use? maybe in the Channel module?
thanks!

I would probably recommend using the Channel API. Let it take care of figuring out what all those fields mean. 😊

thanks! found the api’s under library>api - so how do I load them? just the usual way?
$this->EE->load->library('api/api_channel_entries')?
because I can’t seem to access
$this->EE->api_channel_entriesafter the load…
:O
thanks again.

I believe you need:
$this->EE->api->instantiate(array('channel_entries'));
