Arnaud Georgin	Wednesday 02 May 2007 7:36:45 am Hello, I developped a cron which creates Articles. Everything is ok (title, subtitle, body...) except the author. I want to add author to the created article. I tried to call the "setAttribute" method on the ezAuthor Attribute of the Article but it failed. How can I do it ?

Hello,

I developped a cron which creates Articles. Everything is ok (title, subtitle, body...) except the author. I want to add author to the created article.
I tried to call the "setAttribute" method on the ezAuthor Attribute of the Article but it failed.

How can I do it ?

Thanks

What you do is supposed to work:

        $object->setAttribute( 'owner_id', $ownerID );
        $object->store();

Hi Arnaud,

The ezauthor datatype is a composite datatype (its content is actually an object of class eZAuthor

I think you need to create a new eZAuthor object and then set the contentobjectattribute content, before trying to store the attribute

    $author = new eZAuthor( );
    $i = 0;
    foreach ( $authorIDArray as $id )
     {
        $author->addAuthor( $authorIDArray[$i], $authorNameArray[$i], $authorEmailArray[$i] );
        $i++;
     }
     $contentObjectAttribute->setContent( $author );
