Hi Maxim,
You will need to pass the entry_date with $data
$datap = array(
'title' => $title,
'channel_id' => 7,
'entry_date' => $this->EE->localize->now,
'field_id_48' => $phone,
'field_id_47' => $name,
'field_id_50' => $email,
'field_id_49' => $comment,
'field_id_88' => $entry_id
);Also, check if the current logged in member having the privilege to post/update entry within that channel.
Best Regards,
entry_date isn’t required and I post from admin
Could you confirm if you tried by having entry_date?
Best Regards,
Yes. Now I have tried with entry_date and this don’t solve my problem I updated my code in my first message
Hi Maxim,
I have used channel entry api in number of times but didn’t face such a problem. Could you check if any custom field is required for that channel and you are not using within $datap array.
Also try by having author_id within $datap array. May be it can solve your issue.
Best Regards,
Entry is not created because url_title can not be created Maybe it is a bug because I work with russian language This code help me find the error:
var_dump($this->EE->api_channel_entries->errors); exit();Maxim,
Can you please share what error you get and how did you resolve it? it would be a pointer for someone facing same issue in future.
Best Regards,
I just added url_title, but I don’t need generate url_title:
$datap = array(
'title' => $title,
'url_title' => 'contact',
'entry_date' => $this->EE->localize->now,
'channel_id' => 7,
'field_id_48' => $phone,
'field_id_47' => $fio,
'field_id_50' => $email,
'field_id_49' => $comment,
'field_id_88' => $entry_id
);And how I can add category?
