PHP SDK fill aspects

[wolfgang_freund]

Hi there,

i use the php sdk, and it really works quite well.

I can add aspects via the following code:

$contentNode->addAspect("cm_titled");
$contentNode->addAspect("cm_versionable");
$contentNode->addAspect("cm_taggable");
$contentNode->addAspect("{http://www.someco.com/model/content/1.0}webable");
$contentNode->addAspect("{http://www.someco.com/model/content/1.0}productRelated");
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

But my question is now, how can i fill these aspects? So for example, I give a node the aspect 'cm_taggable'. How do i now add tags lik 'alfresco', 'invoice'.

What I search for is a method like.

$tags = array("alfresco", "invoice");
$contentNode->addAspect("cm_taggable");
$contentNode->addTags($tags);
‍‍‍‍‍

Thanks a lot.

actually there are several ways …. but the way in the normal API is to search a Tag first if it exists or you already have the NodeRef of the Tag.

And then you have to add this noderefs to an array and save it to the cm_taggable property….

Quick example:

$tags = array("workspace://SpacesStore/0000-00000-00000-00","workspace://SpacesStore/0000-00000-00000-00");

$contentNode->cm_taggable = $tags;
‍‍‍‍‍

I implemented the REST Service of tags in my extended PHP Library so there you have functions like .. .

$RESTTags = new RESTTags($repository, $store, $session);
$RESTTags->AddNodeTags($contentNode->getId(),array("alfresco", "invoice"));

If you are interested you can download the extended PHP Library (ifresco PHP library) in forge -> http://forge.alfresco.com/projects/ifresco-phplib/

But then how do you create a new tag if it doesn't exist?

alfresco handles it , so no need to worry.

So then what code do I use to add a new aspect?

I tried:

                    $tags = array("test","tag");
                    $node->cm_taggable = $tags;‍‍‍

and it doesn't actually go into Alfresco and the only pertinent message I get is the following:

Notice: Array to string conversion in C:\xampp\php\PEAR\Alfresco\Service\WebService\AlfrescoWebService.php on line 59‍

But the fact that it says "Notice" makes me think that's not actually causing it to fail, but the node never makes it into Alfresco and that is the only relevant message I'm getting from PHP when I try to add tags in this way.

[ddanninger]

Never tried it that way.

I use:

$Tags  = array("tag1","tag2");
$nodeId = "00000-0000-00000-00"; // no workspace://SpacesStore
$RestTags = new RESTTags($repository,$spacesStore,$session);
$RestTags->AddNodeTags($nodeId,$Tags);‍‍‍‍‍
