I am trying to create nodes in Drupal 7 using a php script I then execute using Drush.
While I am able to create a basic node with a title, I am not able to set the body for some reason.
I have tried two different approaches using different advice I found on other forums.
In the first case, setting node elements directly:
...
$node->title = 'Your node title';
$node->body[$node->language][0]['value'] = "<p>this is a test</p>";
$node->body[$node->language][0]['summary'] = "body summary;
$node->body[$node->language][0]['format'] = 'full_html';
In the second cases, using Entity Wrappers:
$node_wrapper = entity_metadata_wrapper('node', $node);
$node_wrapper->body->set(array('value' => '<p>New content</p>', 'format' => 'full_html'));
In both cases I am saving the node like follows:
$node = node_submit($node);
node_save($node);
And in both cases I get a new node published, but the body never gets set or displays.
How do I correctly set the body of a new node I am saving?
To create a node using a wrapper (requires entity module) try the code below:
$entity_type = 'node';
$entity = entity_create($entity_type, array('type' => 'article'));
$wrapper = entity_metadata_wrapper($entity_type, $entity);
$wrapper->title = 'title';
$wrapper->body->value = 'body value';
$wrapper->body->summary = 'summary';
$wrapper->body->format = 'full_html';
$wrapper->save();
In Сергей Филимонов's example, he doesn't call node_object_prepare($node) (requires node->type), which sets some defaults (is commenting enabled, is the node promoted to the front page, sets the author, ...), so there are differences between the approaches.
$entity = entity_create($entity_type, array('type' => 'article'));
can be replaced with
$entity = new stdClass();
$entity->type = 'article';
