CB new updating system is great but we would need a way to retain a modification in k2 model for CB Blogs.
We insert the following code to be able to use K2 extra fields in CB blogs
Code:
/**
* Begin of custom development
*/
$value = new stdClass();
$value->id = 7;
$value->value = $_POST['article_classes'];
$currentValues = json_decode($article->get('extra_fields'));
//If no previous Value
if(empty($currentValues) || !is_array($currentValues)) {
$currentValues = array();
$currentValues[] = $value;
} else {
foreach ($currentValues as $key => $oneValue) {
if($oneValue->id == 7) {
$currentValues[$key] = $value;
}
}
}
$article->set('extra_fields', json_encode($currentValues));
/**
* End of custom development
*/
For each CB update, this code has to be reinserted manually.
No problem for the Blog template as we added the fields in the edit blog template.
Is this possible :
- either to implement the extra field code in the default CB Blog K2 model for next versions ?
- or to have an auto action changing the code ?
- or to have an override for this model in our template ?
CB Blogs has triggers. There's no reason to be editing its core code. You can use cbblogs_onBeforeCreateBlog and cbblogs_onBeforeUpdateBlog to modify the $article variable to add your custom storage behavior. Can actually be done from CB Auto Actions as well, but you'll need to set variables 1 and 2 as reference variables under the parameters tab of your action. You'd then use a Code action with Method set to PHP. You can then modify the article using the following.
The variables for those two triggers are as follows.
&$this, &$article, $user, $plugin

- a validation issue when selecting a value in the field
You should be able to set an error using the following, but I don't see any error handling in your code.
Code:
$vars['var1']->setError( 'ERROR_MESSAGE_HERE' );
- a fatal error with Call to undefined function get() when trying to save the blog
Your code has 2 dashes in the get usage, but should only have 1.

There's no trigger for the blog edit view so you'll have to continue to use your own template file. Have added a feature ticket to add triggers to the edit view though so new field rows can be inserted through CB Auto Actions.
