I have a small problem. I am try to write to mysql using $LISEinstance. I have everything working great. The only problem I can’t to save the create_time or modified_time. At the moment I got a custom date field and saving it there. I really want to use the create_time and modified_time. It's only saving the current time not the time I want. Is something missing? I am sure I am using the right datetime format.

Can someone help.

Cheers

Code: Select all


$LISEinstance = \cms_utils::get_module('LISEYouTube');    
    $edit = $LISEinstance->LoadItemByIdentifier('alias', $SaveVideo_id); 
        // creates an (almost) empty object if item doesn't exist 
    $url_prefix = $LISEinstance->GetPreference('url_prefix');
    $detail_page = $LISEinstance->GetPreference('page_alias');
    $url_Setpath = 'video/'.$SaveVideo_id;
    if (!isset($edit->item_id))
    {
        // doesn't exist yet so create new LISE item
        $vitem = $LISEinstance->InitiateItem();
        $vitem->medium_image = $vdata->items[0]->snippet->thumbnails->medium->url;
        $vitem->maxres_image = $vdata->items[0]->snippet->thumbnails->maxres->url;
        $vitem->views = number_format_short($vdata->items[0]->statistics->viewCount);
        $vitem->duration = YouTube_TimeCode($vdata->items[0]->contentDetails->duration);
        $vitem->duration_text = Time_Words($vdata->items[0]->snippet->publishedA);
        $vitem->video_id = htmlspecialchars($SaveVideo_id);
        $vitem->url = $url_Setpath;
        $vitem->date_published = '2020-07-13 21:55:54; // WORKING with custom date field
        $vitem->create_time = '2020-07-13 21:55:54'; // NOT WORKING
        // added these
        $vitem->title = $vdata->items[0]->snippet->title;
        $vitem->description = htmlspecialchars($vdata->items[0]->snippet->description); 
        $vitem->alias = htmlspecialchars($SaveVideo_id);
        $vitem->playlist = $category_id;
        $LISEinstance->SaveItem($vitem);
    }
    else 
    {    
        // does exist so just edit existing  LISE item  
        $vitem = $LISEinstance->LoadItemByIdentifier('alias', $SaveVideo_id);         
        $vitem->alias = htmlspecialchars($SaveVideo_id);    // alreay exists - don't update         
        // the following get updated        
        $vitem->views = number_format_short($vdata->items[0]->statistics->viewCount);      
        $vitem->create_time = '2020-07-13 21:55:54'; // NOT WORKING
        $LISEinstance->SaveItem($vitem);
    }

Without looking at the code I suppose those properties aren't meant to be written by you.
If you need to do something with dates I'd suggest to add some custom fields for that.

Thank you. Only problem i did not know had how to orderby with a custom date field. I did not know I had to add custom_ before field name orderby='custom_date_published|ASC’.

I do hope one day we can use the create_time and modified_time.

Thank you
