Allow creating/updating/deleting custom fields

[zackkatz]

You can now work with Custom Fields.

use Bigcommerce\Api\Client as Bigcommerce;

$Product = Bigcommerce::getProduct(1);

// Get a collection of Custom Fields for the product ID
Bigcommerce::getProductCustomFields($Product->id);

// Get the Custom Field with the ID #5 for the product ID
Bigcommerce::getProductCustomField($Product->id, 5);

// Create a Custom Field for the product ID
$id = Bigcommerce::createProductCustomField($Product->id, array(
    'name'  =>  'Name of Custom Field',
    'text'  =>  'Value of Custom Field'
));

// Delete the Custom Field with the ID #5 for the product ID
Bigcommerce::deleteProductCustomField($Product->id, 5);

// Or you can do it like other resources as well.
$CustomField = new Bigcommerce\Api\Resources\ProductCustomField(array(
    'name'  =>  'Name of Custom Field',
    'text'  =>  'Value of Custom Field',
    'product_id' => 1 // The ID of the attached product
));
$CustomField->create();

What error do you get?

[zackkatz]

You need to print or echo it. It doesn't necessarily mean that there's an error. Use the new getProductCustomField method instead.

public function display()
{
echo Client::getProductCustomField($this->product_id, $this->id);
}

Well your product may have no custom fields…try:

print_r(Client::getProductCustomFields($Product->id));

Sorry, I can't help you there.

In the example, 5 is the ID of the custom field. I'm not sure why it wouldn't work for you in your example.

I'm using the API to update custom fields for a product and I'm getting this error:

Object of class stdClassà�K´cðËÛ could not be converted to string

Here's my code:

Bigcommerce::updateProductCustomField( $id, $custom_field_id, array(
    'name' => 'Core Price',
    'text' => '900'
) );

It is updating the product. I'm just trying to figure out where that error is coming from. Thanks!

Hi

i would like to get some products in my Bigcommerce store based on date using api. So i have followed the following api code like this. But no luck

$filter = array('date_created' => 'Sat, 25 Jan 2014 16:43:15 +0000');//query filter

$products = Bigcommerce::getProducts($filter);

But in the same way following one is working good.

$filter = array('sku' => 'CST-120');//query filter

$products = Bigcommerce::getProducts($filter);

So please any help me how can i change the date variable would be better
