Hi,
Sorry if I am wrong here (tried the forum and searched the Code and SO), but how would one update an item's data via code?


$row = JTable::getInstance('K2Item', 'Table');
$row->load($myId);
$row->title = 'New title';
$row->save(); // doesn't work
$row->checkin(); // doesn't work too

thanks a lot,

Hello,

I think you need to look at the K2 item model class for this purpose.

thank you,
this is what I did and the code above is all I could figure out.

Seems like that this is a end-user forum only, so this question is better to be asked on Stackoverflow ?

So i asked this now on Stackoverflow : stackoverflow.com/questions/37651789/how-to-change-joomla-k2-item-via-code

It depends on where do you run this code, so you may need to include specific classes for example.
Also, what does it mean "doesn't work"?
Do you find any php error? if yes, what is the error message?
Please provide more details to get the correct answer.

Hi,
The code is used within a custom Joomla plugin whereby only the very basics of Joomla/K2 are loaded. Its part of a sort of stand-alone application (sort of command line application if you like) . So there are no request variables or similar.

By "doesn't work" I mean : the item is not updated in the database, so there is also no change to see in the back-end.

There is also no error, anywhere (i have very pedantic & verbose debug settings showing pretty much all ). The code also proceeds so there was no fatal error or similar.

Thanks a lot for popping up.

Maybe there is a K2 plugin doing this kind of thing, something i could paste over...

Hi,

After a quick review for the backend item model class 'administrator/components/com_k2/models/item.php' and inspecting the K2ModelItem::save() method, I think you should callinstead of

worked!
thanks a lot !
