Hello Hakim,

I'm using this :

$params = array();                
$params['parent_node_id'] = $ini->variable('purchase_settings','stockists_folder_node_id');   
$params['class_identifier'] = 'stockist'; 
$params['creator_id'] = 14; // admin
$params['attributes'] = $attributesData;
$contentObject = eZContentFunctions::createAndPublishObject( $params );

In attributesDate you store an associative array with all the attributes of your object

You can also look here : http://pubsvn.ez.no/websvn2/listing.php?repname=nextgen&path=/trunk/tests/toolkit/extras/kernelwrapper/#path_trunk_tests_toolkit_extras_kernelwrapper_

You'll find a kernel wrapper. I think eZ Systems use it for their unit tests.

Cheers

A node is used to build your content tree.

A object is an instance of your content type.

A node assignment is used to link your object to a node and then give him a position in your content tree.

I don't really understand what you mean by republish the object but basically when you edit an object is create a draft you can store it for later editing or publish it so that it becomes your published version.

Hi Hakim

You can change your content objects without republishing them. I use it rather often, due to heavy processing included in publishing new version of an object, which makes it impractical if you are doing a batch of work including changing a few thousand objects.

The procedure is very simple, you fetch current version of your object, change the attributes and store the changes. The last thing you need to do is to clear the caches, so that your view cache would be correctly created.

$contentObject = $node->attribute('object');

// get the current version,you can also set the modified timestamp
$version = $contentObject->version($contentObject->attribute('current_version'));
$version->setAttribute( 'modified', eZDateTime::currentTimeStamp() );

// change the attributes
...
...

// store the changes and clear view cache of the object
$contentObject->store();
$contentObject->expireAllViewCache();

// also, you may have need to change the object name:
$class = $contentObject->contentClass();
$contentObject->setName( $class->contentObjectName( $contentObject ) );
$contentObject->store();

Hi,

Could someone also help to find correct way of setting default sort order for newly created or already existing node?

I thought that the code:

$nodeAssignment = $object->createNodeAssignment( $parentNodeID,$isMain, $remoteID,$class->attribute( 'sort_field' ),$class->attribute( 'sort_order' ) );

should do the job, however it didn't.

Internal research showed that 'ezcontentobject_tree' table stores child nodes sort type and sort order, and not 'eznode_assignment' (but it also has related fields) but didn't find place in code where it is used.
