Error on deleting multiple entries

Hi Filip,

Have you any add-ons installed?

Is this a fresh install or an upgrade from a previous version or build?

Have you done any import of data at any stage?

Can you explain with context and examples how you added entries through the API please so we can try and replicate?

Hi there,

I too have this issue when deleting multiple entries (where some are CP created and some are API created)

Fatal error: Unsupported operand types in /system_uam/expressionengine/libraries/api/Api_channel_entries.php on line 557

The API entries are added thus:

$channel_id = 1;
$data = array(
 'title'         => $result['club_name'],
 'entry_date'    => $this->EE->localize->now,
 'author_id'    => $member_id,
 'status'    => 'Pending',
 'field_id_1'    => '1', 
 'field_ft_1'    => 'none',
 'field_id_7'   => '1', 
 'field_ft_7'   => 'none'
);

if($channel_id && is_array($data))
{
 $this->EE->load->library('api');
 $this->EE->api->instantiate('channel_entries');
 $this->EE->api->instantiate('channel_fields');
 $this->EE->api_channel_fields->setup_entry_settings($channel_id, $data);
 if($this->EE->api_channel_entries->submit_new_entry($channel_id, $data) === FALSE)
 {
  return FALSE;
 }
 else
 {
  return $this->EE->api_channel_entries->entry_id;
 }
}

My EE is v2.5.2 (20120606)

Fieldtypes used with this Channel are: Text, Date, ALT MultiField and REEgion Select with a custom Status Group

Hey David,

What field types are ids 1 and 7? Are those the Multified and REEgion?

Where are you running your API calls? In an add-on or in a template?

Cheers,

Hey Dan,

1 and 7 are regular text inputs (I’m not populating any 3rd party fieldtypes via the API so I suppose it could be the default settings of one or more of the 3rd party fieldtypes that’s causing the issue).

The API call is via a custom module.

Cheers

David

Hi David,

Are those fields you aren’t posting to marked as required?

I’ve used the API in a custom module before and didn’t has a problem deleting the entries afterwards.

I could move this off to Development and Programming for some insight?

Cheers,

Dan, no they’re not required fields.

It’s not causing any major problems as the entries do delete, it’s just falling over before the stats are updated. But if anyone else can replicate this I would be interested to know.

Cheers!
