Hi Jonathan,

Looks like we’re missing ‘nodate’ parameter for tasks. While we’re checking how that happened and updating the docs, you can try to use nodate = 1 for your tasks with no ‘duedate’. (look for the parameter’s description in the Tasklist section of the API reference - it’s the same for tasks).

Please let me know if you have any further problems and thanks for spotting this!

Regards,
Alex.

I found the answer to my problem, you have to set nodate, which is not in the API refinance under task, to 1

thanks Alex, thats what I did and it worked

Docs updated, thanks!

hi,

i have been in the same problem of creating a task. can you help me out?

i am able to create the contacts and the tasklist (by way of adding a template to the newly created contact) from the php api reference. but when i try to add a task to that tasklist, it just won’t.

i have this line for the task:
<?php
...
  $activityData = array(
        ‘title’ => ‘New task’,
        ‘details’ => ‘New task to do.’,
        ‘assignedto’ => ‘15543767’,
        ‘duedate’ => date(‘F d, Y’, strtotime(‘3 days’))
      );
 
$solve360Service->addActivity($templateId, $activityData, Solve360Service::ACTIVITY_TASK);
...
?>

is this wrong?

Hello,

You seem to be using the Template’s id as the parent for a new task. You should be using ID of the newly created (at the moment when you inserted the Template) Tasklist.

Thanks Alex!

yeah, i was actually using the template’s id..

so i followed on with getting the value of the newly created tasklist.. by using the simpleXML response, i the result when echoed out to php is:

response
idxxxxxxxx:
status:success

is the id that we speak of is that second line?

To what action’s response you’re referring to? You will get Tasklist ID in case you’re creating a tasklist.

My guess is that this is the response for the contact creation. So, that’s a contact id. May be you should try loading the new contact to obtain all the data inside, including the tasklist id (that you’re interested in).
