I have a custom module to that generates some sample content for my site upon installation of the module.
I am having difficulty coming up with the correct code to create a new taxonomy term, a tag, and then add it to a node with a term reference field.
Any help would be appreciated.
Well, I found a Backdrop CMS test that created a vocabulary and some terms and that was really helpful.
// Create a vocabulary and a term
$vocabulary = new TaxonomyVocabulary(array(
'name' => 'Class',
'description' => '',
'machine_name' => 'animal_class',
));
taxonomy_vocabulary_save($vocabulary);
$term = entity_create('taxonomy_term', array(
'name' => 'Mammalia',
'description' => '',
'format' => 1,
'vocabulary' => 'animal_class',
));
taxonomy_term_save($term);
I was then able to do this to add it to a node programmatically (see here for the rest of the code to add a node).
$node->field_animal_class['und'][0]['tid'] = '1';
I haven't figured out how to add a term to a node without knowing the TID.
I would think that I could add a term to the vocabulary, just by adding it to the node directory. But, I could not get that to work. Ideas?
(note: untested) ...I believe that after taxonomy_term_save(), you should be able to do something like $term_id = $term->id; (or could be $term_id = $term->tid; - you need to check) to get the term ID; so then it would simply be a matter of:
$node->field_animal_class['und'][0]['tid'] = $term_id;
...or directly, w/o assigning it to a variable:
$node->field_animal_class['und'][0]['tid'] = $term->id;
Please give that a go and let us know if it worked for you.
A Google search helped me find this thread, and just wanted to confirm that the above code for creating a new term works in Backdrop 1.16.2, and you can assign the newly created term to a node field like this:
$new_term = entity_create('taxonomy_term', array(
'name' => <NAME>,
'description' => '',
'format' => 1,
'vocabulary' => '<VOCAB_NAME>',
));
taxonomy_term_save($new_term);
$node->field_category[LANGUAGE_NONE][0]['tid'] = $new_term->tid;
