j4x-api-examples's Issues

Error message with the add raw php script

The API connection seems ok, but I get this
{"errors":[{"title":"Field required: Title\nField required: Category"}]} {"errors":[{"title":"Field required: Title\nField required: Category"}]} {"errors":[{"title":"Field required: Title\nField required: Category"}]} {"errors":[{"title":"Field required: Title\nField required: Category"}]} {"errors":[{"title":"Field required: Title\nField required: Category"}]} {"errors":[{"title":"Field required: Title\nField required: Category"}]} {"errors":[{"title":"Field required: Title\nField required: Category"}]}

Cannot use object of type stdClass as array

Good day!
Thanks for this sample API.
I'm trying to use it and I get a message: "Cannot use object of type stdClass as array"

I changed the error output code to this: echo $e->GetMessage() . ' - ' . $e->getline() . PHP_EOL; and I see that the error in line 229: $storage[$DataKey] = ['mightExists' => $decodedJsonOutput->errors[0]->code === 400, 'decodedDataString' => $decodedDataString];

At the same time, the rest of the code works correctly and the data in Joomla is updated, although I haven't checked all the code options yet :-)

idea how to set article layout via api?

followed your code and seems to work nicely.

I need to set the layout for imported articles too. any idea how to achieve this? Couldn't find any hint at the api documentation though.
