Broken API V2 with Magento 1.7.0.2

[hadl]

Awesome script!!
Unfortunately it doesn't work for me with Magento 1.7.0.2.

I'm using API_V2 and always get the error "SOAP-ERROR: Encoding: object has no 'key' property" when trying your example.
The 'price_changes' array kills it somehow.
If i use the WSI price_changes array with the API call, it ends with a "array to string conversion" notice and "SOAP-ERROR: Encoding: string 'Cannot use object of type stdClass\xe0...' is not a valid utf-8 string".

Need some help :/

Thanks,
Andi

Hello Andi,

Difficult for me to help you since examples given in blog were working fine but it was tested in PHP. What are ou using to make calls to Magento API?
Is it possible to reproduce easily the bug you have?

[hadl]

Hello Johann,

thanks for your answer.

I'm calling the API via PHP 5.4.
I just used your V2 example and got these errors.

Meanwhile i made some changes in your extension to the v2 api and it works now. It's also possible to update the associated products/prices with my version.
We are still testing the calls and if everything works in production i will send you the changes.
But i removed the "use attribute option name" feature and sticked to ids.

I have found the errors in your WSDL definition.
Check your element 'price_changes' type. It is type="typens:associativeArray" but i think it should be type="typens:complexMultiArray". At least this works for me now.
The foreach loops in _initConfigurableAttributesData() will change with this setting.

Hello @hadl, maybe could you post your changes to our? I have this problem too. Thanks

Hello @hadl , Where do you post the patch? I really need it, please...

[hadl]

Sorry for the "delay" 👎

I pushed my changes to hadl@9f78922

Difference to the original description:
You have to set the price_changes via

'price_changes' => array(
        array(
            'key'   => 'color',
            'value' => array(
                array(
                    'key'   => 25, // attribute id
                    'value' => '0',
                ),
            )
        )

Note: It was working for us but we switched to the simple configurable product extension and don't need the price changes anymore. The normal price changes method wasn' working for our price changes.

Hello @hadl , I used your updated code but it still give me error can you please help me I am testing it in Magento 1.9.1 and usin Soap V2

Thanks

@Chandu9012 how does your SOAP call looks like?
Have you cleared the Magento and/or the PHP WSDL Cache?

[Chandu9012]

Below is code for SOAP call

login('soap_user', 'soap123'); $attributeSets = $client->catalogProductAttributeSetList($session); $attributeSet = current($attributeSets); $set = $attributeSet->set_id; $productData = array( 'name' => 'Name of product #1', 'description' => 'Description of product #1', 'short_description' => 'Short description of product #1', 'website_ids' => array('base'), // Id or code of website 'status' => 1, // 1 = Enabled, 2 = Disabled 'visibility' => 1, // 1 = Not visible, 2 = Catalog, 3 = Search, 4 = Catalog/Search 'tax_class_id' => 2, // Default VAT 'weight' => 0, 'stock_data' => array( 'use_config_manage_stock' => 1, 'manage_stock' => 1, // We do not manage stock, for example 'qty' => 10 ), 'price' => 9.90, // Same price than configurable product, no price change 'additional_attributes' => array( 'single_data' => array( array( 'key' => 'color', 'value' => 'Blue', // Id or label of color, attribute that will be used to configure product ), ), ) ); // Creation of product #1 $client->catalogProductCreate($session, 'simple', $set, 'SKU-001', $productData); /** - Simple product #2 (sku : SKU-002) */ $productData = array( 'name' => 'Name of product #2', 'description' => 'Description of product #2', 'short_description' => 'Short description of product #2', 'website_ids' => array('base'), // Id or code of website 'status' => 1, // 1 = Enabled, 2 = Disabled 'visibility' => 1, // 1 = Not visible, 2 = Catalog, 3 = Search, 4 = Catalog/Search 'tax_class_id' => 2, // Default VAT 'weight' => 0, 'stock_data' => array( 'use_config_manage_stock' => 1, 'manage_stock' => 1, // We do not manage stock, for example 'qty' => 20 ), 'price' => 8.90, // Red product is $1 less than configurable product 'additional_attributes' => array( 'single_data' => array( array( 'key' => 'color', 'value' => 'Red', // Id or label of color, attribute that will be used to configure product ), ), ) ); // Creation of product #2 $client->catalogProductCreate($session, 'simple', $set, 'SKU-002', $productData); /** - Configurable product */ $productData = array( 'name' => 'Configurable product', 'description' => 'Description of configurable product', 'short_description' => 'Short description of configurable product', 'website_ids' => array('base'), // Id or code of website 'status' => 1, // 1 = Enabled, 2 = Disabled 'visibility' => 4, // 1 = Not visible, 2 = Catalog, 3 = Search, 4 = Catalog/Search 'tax_class_id' => 2, // Default VAT 'weight' => 0, 'stock_data' => array( 'use_config_manage_stock' => 1, 'manage_stock' => 1, // We do not manage stock, for example 'qty' => 25, ), 'price' => 9.90, 'associated_skus' => array('SKU-001', 'SKU-002'), // Simple products to associate 'price_changes' => array( array( 'color' => array( 'Red' => '2', 'Blue' => '-10%' ) ) ) ); // Creation of configurable product //$result = $client->call($session, 'product.create', array('configurable', $attributeSet->set_id, 'SKU-TEST', $productData)); $result = $client->catalogProductCreate($session, 'configurable',$set, 'SKU-003',$productData); var_dump ($result); Thanks Chandu Mer

You have to use the attribute id for the price changes. See #4 (comment)

Here is a working example of our client:

$productData = array(
    'categories'        => array($categories),
    'websites'          => array(1),
    'name'              => 'Name',
    'description'       => 'lorem ipsum',
    'short_description' => 'lorem ipsum',
    'status'            => 1,
    'visibility'        => 4,
    'tax_class_id'      => 1, //19%
    'price'             => '1,40',
    'associated_skus'   => array(1,2), 
    'configurable_attributes' => array(158), // attribute id for sta_size
    'price_changes' => array(
        array(
            'key' => 'sta_size',
            'value' => array(
                array(
                    'key' => 42,    // 5 cm
                    'value' => '0', 
                ),
                array(
                    'key' => 43,    // 7 cm
                    'value' => '0', 
                ),
                array(
                    'key' => 45,      // 9 cm
                    'value' => '1,80',
                ),
            ),
        ),
    ),
    'additional_attributes' => array(
        'single_data' => array(
            array(
                'key'   => 'sta_material',
                'value' => 33,
            ),
        ),
        'multi_data' => array(
            array(
                'key'   => 'sta_pictogram',
                'value' => array(5, 6),
            ),
        )
    )

);

I have updated SOAP Call as per See #4 (comment) and products created 2 simple and 1 configurable products but simple products are not assign to configurable products in Associated products

Can you please help me what is issue?

Thanks

[hadl]

Maybe because you haven't set 'configurable_attributes'?
Guess you have to xdebug.

[Chandu9012]

I have added 'configurable_attributes'

$productData = array(
'categories' => array(17),
'websites' => array(1),
'name' => 'Configurable product',
'description' => 'Description of configurable product',
'short_description' => 'Short Desciption',
'status' => 1,
'visibility' => 4,
'tax_class_id' => 1,
'price' => '1,40',
'associated_skus' => array('SKU-001', 'SKU-002'),
'configurable_attributes' => array(92), // attribute id
'price_changes' => array(
array(
'key' => 'color',
'value' => array(
array(
'key' => 92,
'value' => 'Red',
),
),
),
),
'additional_attributes' => array(
'single_data' => array(
array(
'key' => 'color',
'value' => 'Red', // Id or label of color, attribute that will be used to configure product
),
),
)
);

$result = $client->catalogProductCreate($session,'configurable',$attributeSet->set_id, 'SKU-003',$productData);

Try to debug the issue but cant happen please help me !

Thanks

[Chandu9012]

Hello hadl

'configurable_attributes' => array(158), // attribute id for sta_size
'price_changes' => array(
array(
'key' => 'sta_size',
'value' => array(
array(
'key' => 42, // 5 cm
'value' => '0',
),
array(
'key' => 43, // 7 cm
'value' => '0',
),
array(
'key' => 45, // 9 cm
'value' => '1,80',
),
),
),
),

In your above code 'configurable_attributes' id is 158 so let me know the 'key' => 42, // 5 cm and 'key' => 43, // 7 cm and 'key' => 45, // 9 cm you have used key those id are what is or for this is 'configurable_attributes' values id?

Thanks

[Chandu9012]

Hello @hadl,
Can you please provide me your Soap Call which is you used to Assign simple product to configurable product.
Thanks

[hadl]

@Chandu9012 This #4 (comment) is/was the working example.

Like i wrote in a previous comment, we switched to the simple configurable product extension (https://github.com/obigroup/magento-configurable-simple) and don't need the price changes anymore.

[Chandu9012]

Hello @hadl,
Now my Code is working fine. Thanks a lot.

Thanks,
