This example was made using Prestashop: 1.7.6.5.
I’ve decided to write this tutorial, since I’ve had trouble getting to the right solution:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 | <?phprequire_once 'PSWebServiceLibrary.php';$url = 'myurl.com';$key = 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVXZ1234567890';$debug = true;$webService = new PrestaShopWebservice($url, $key, $debug);$searchTerm = "YOURPRODUCTREFERENCE";$xml = $webService->get([ 'resource' => 'products', 'display' => 'full', 'filter[reference]' => $searchTerm]);$resource = $xml->products->children()->children(); |
This search has the objective to get the resulting ID (or ID’s, but in this case I’m expecting to have only one).
The response will be something like this:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 | HTTP RESPONSE HEADERHTTP/1.1 200 OKDate: Wed, 22 Jul 2020 13:44:54 GMTServer: ApacheAccess-Time: 1595425494X-Powered-By: PrestaShop WebservicePSWS-Version: 1.7.6.5Execution-Time: 0.016Content-Sha1: a2551cfed7afc50cbbf86a25881a0aa18b39d078Vary: AuthorizationUpgrade: h2,h2cConnection: UpgradeTransfer-Encoding: chunkedContent-Type: text/xml;charset=utf-8RETURN HTTP BODY<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><products><product> <id><![CDATA[21346]]></id> ...</product></products></prestashop> |
Now we have the ID and the object ready to update… WRONG! I’ve not found a good way to update the object with the data enclosed in the tags
<products><product></product></products>
Now you have to GET the product data to a new object, like this:
1 2 3 4 5 6 | $xml = $webService->get([ 'resource' => 'products', 'id' => $resource->id,]);$productFields = $xml->children()->children(); |
The result is now like this:
1 2 3 4 5 6 | RETURN HTTP BODY<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><product> <id><![CDATA[21346]]></id> |
Notice that now we have only the <product> tag. Now we can update the object. But first, let’s remove the read only fields, to avoid further errors:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 | unset($productFields->manufacturer_name);unset($productFields->quantity);unset($productFields->id_shop_default);unset($productFields->id_default_image);unset($productFields->associations);unset($productFields->id_default_combination);unset($productFields->position_in_category);unset($productFields->type);unset($productFields->pack_stock_type);unset($productFields->date_add);unset($productFields->date_upd); |
And the rest of the code, like this:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 | // setting the new price$productFields->price = (int) "666.00";// update$updatedXml = $webService->edit([ 'resource' => 'products', 'id' => (int) $productFields->id, 'putXml' => $xml->asXML(),]); |
Hope that this helps anyone in need like I was. If you have any suggestions or other solution, please leave it in the comment box below. Thanks.
