Seblod: External PHP Script for manipulating Seblod Joomla Article

There are a lot of comments - therefore no further description.

Initialisation and Test

<?php

// Errors for debugging and runtime
// error_reporting(E_ALL);
// ini_set('display_errors', 1);

// Get Joomla! framework
define( '_JEXEC', 1 );
define( '_VALID_MOS', 1 );
// Here you need you generate the relative path to you joomla base directory
// In this case this php file is in folder /myjoomlainstance/test/
define( 'JPATH_BASE', realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . '/..'));
define( 'DS', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR );
require_once ( JPATH_BASE .DS.'includes'.DS.'defines.php' );
require_once ( JPATH_BASE .DS.'includes'.DS.'framework.php' );
$mainframe =& JFactory::getApplication('site');
// $mainframe->initialise();

// Seblod inclusions
JPluginHelper::importPlugin( 'cck_storage_location' );


// Test Joomla Framework Works -> If not you will get an PHP error here
$joomla_test = JFactory::getDbo();

// Test Seblod Works -> If not you will get an PHP error here
$seblod_test = new JCckContentJoomla_Article;

Creating a Joomla Seblod article

// Pre Data base
$content_type   = 'publications';   // Systemname of content type
$title          = 'Testarticle ' . (string)date(DATE_RFC822);
$state          = 1;                // 1 is published
$access         = 1;                // 1 is public
$language       = '*';              // * is all languages
$category       = 10;               // joomla category id
$user           = 834;              // joomla user id

// Pre Data more
$kind_of_pub    = 'Book';
$price          = '9 EUR';

// Class JCckContentJoomla_Article extends libraries/cms/cck/content.php
$content = new JCckContentJoomla_Article;
// Joomla Article Data
$data_base       = array(
    'catid'                 => $category,
    'state'                 => $state,
    'access'                => $access,
    'created_by'            => $user,
    'language'              => $language,
    'title'                 => $title
);
// Content type Data
$data_more =  array(
    'kind_of_publication'   => $kind_of_pub,
    'price'                 => $price
);

// Disable Seblod permission control
$content->setOptions(array( 'check_permissions' => 0 ));

// Execution with success control
if ( $content->create($content_type, $data_base, $data_more )->isSuccessful()) {
    echo 'ok.';
} else {
    echo 'ko.';
}

Call data from existing Joomla Seblod article

// Pre Data
$article_id = 14;

// Get Article
$joomla_article = JCckContentJoomla_Article::getInstance($article_id);

echo $joomla_article->getProperty( 'title' ); // Output Article Title
echo $joomla_article->getProperty( 'kind_of_publication' ); // Output addition Seblod field
