Setcustomfields In Local Environment

[lawrence-ytz]

I'm trying to set a custom field from with in a plugin when a new client is created.  The event is is working, but either the model or method are not.

 

public function getEvents() {

return array(

// on create client

array(

                'event' => "Clients.create",

                'callback' => array("this", "run")

            )

            // on cancel service

 

);

}

 

public function run($event) {

 

Loader::loadModels($this, array("Clients"));

 

$params = $event->getParams();

$user_id = $params->id;

 

//die( 'hello' ); //the event is firing at the correct time

 

//update custom field

$vars = array (

'field_id' => 3,

'client_id' => 352,

'value' => 1111,

);

 

$this->Clients->setCustomField($vars);

  

}

have you already created the field in the admin settings ?

[lawrence-ytz]

field is already created in the admin.  I can also update it via an api call from an external app, just not from within the blesta environment. A bit more info that may be helpfull, I'm trying to execture this from  mycustom_plugin.php

[lawrence-ytz]

any help?  Something was also preventing an external api call from returning a response when creating a client.

public function run($event) {

 

...

//update custom field

$vars = array (

'field_id' => 3,

'client_id' => 352,

'value' => 1111,

);

 

$this->Clients->setCustomField($vars);

  

}

 

 

Method calls from plugins don't function like the API SDK. What I mean is that you do not pass in an array of key/value pairs representing the parameters and their values. Instead, you pass in the parameters directly.

 

i.e.

$field_id = 3;
$client_id = 352;
$value = 1111;
$this->Clients->setCustomField($field_id, $client_id, $value);
