POST - Can't update event.

[joshbruce]

Hate to be a bother...sorry the other ticket had some of my extensions in there...still think I'm missing something.

$eb = new Eventbrite('OAUTH');
$event = $eb->get('events/:id');

Return (note capacity):

// Would expect capacity to update     
$update = $eb->post('events/:id', ['event.capacity' => 30]);

Return is the same as above. Verify by recalling.

$event2 = $eb->get('events/:id');

Return is the same as above.

Again, Postman works just fine - as long as I have it set to form-data.

Thoughts? What am I missing?

Also tried

$update = $eb->post('events/:id', [
    'event' => [
        'capacity' => 30
    ]
]);

$update = $eb->post('events/:id', [
    'body' => [
        'event' => [
            'capacity' => 30
        ]
    ]
]);

$update = $eb->patch(
    'events/:id',
    ['event.capacity' => 30]
);

$update = $eb->put(
    'events/:id',
    ['event.capacity' => 30]
);

// Error because body is array
$update = $eb->call('POST', 'events/:id', [
    'body' => [
        'event' => [
            'capacity' => 30
        ]
    ]
]);

$update = $eb->call('POST', 'events/:id', [
    'event' => [
        'capacity' => 30
    ]
]);

$update = $eb->call('POST', 'events/:id', ['event.capacity' => 30]);

$update = $eb->makeRequest('POST', 'events/:id', ['event.capacity' => 30]);

// Error because body is array
$update = $eb->makeRequest(
    'POST',
    'events/:id',
    null,
    ['event.capacity' => 30]
);

$update = $eb->makeRequest(
    'POST',
    'events/:id',
    null,
    null,
    ['event.capacity' => 30]
);

$update = $eb->makeRequest(
    'POST',
    'events/:id',
    null,
    null,
    null,
    ['event.capacity' => 30]
);

This works - instead of using send()

// Eventbrite.php
$response = $this->client->post('https://www.eventbriteapi.com/v3/events/:id/?token=:token', [
    'headers' => ['Content-Type' => 'application/json'],
    'body' => json_encode([
        'event.capacity' => 20
    ])
]);

Also not able to send POST requests via the SDK.

[CaioBianchi]

The tests currently do not cover basic parameter input
https://github.com/jamiehollern/eventbrite/blob/master/tests/src/EventbriteTest.php#L140

[joshbruce]

@CaioBianchi: I don't know if this is bad form or not; so, I do apologize if this is breaking GitHub social norms. Created: https://github.com/8fold/eventbrite-sdk-php

Not as thoroughly tested through PHPUnit and I'm not sure if it covers all the use cases yet. The main project I'm using it in has deviated slightly on priorities, and Eventbrite integration is not it.

[CaioBianchi]

Looks good @joshbruce but I see that there's still a lot to be implemented still on the Events SDK.
I might be able to help, if you're open to contributions/pull requests.

[joshbruce]

@CaioBianchi: If the assessment is based on the documentation, it is out of date as well (believe most of the get functionality is there - using magic methods)...sorry about that. Always open for contributions and collaborations!

Just an update on the issue here:

I was trying to POST to the access_code endpoint:
https://www.eventbrite.ca/developer/v3/endpoints/events/#ebapi-post-events-id-access-codes

Which logically would be something like this:

return $this->client->post(sprintf('events/%s/access_codes/', $event_id), $options);

But that was throwing me an error. Once I removed the trailing slash (non-compliant to the documentation) it started working:

return $this->client->post(sprintf('events/%s/access_codes', $event_id), $options);

[joshbruce]

@CaioBianchi: Don't want to hijack this project. Can we move this to a new issue on the 8fold SDK project?

[jamiehollern]

I'm trying to debug this but I think there could be a few issues going on here:

• There's definitely a bug in the call method that needs fixed
• There may be a change required due to how Guzzle 6 takes body parameters now
• Eventbrite's API seems to insist on nested values when using raw JSON (i.e if you're posting {"event.capacity": 30} it seems it should be {"event":{"capacity":30}}

I appreciate you have the other project up and running but if anyone manages to figure this out before I do, please let me know.

[joshbruce]

@jamiehollern: https://github.com/8fold/eventbrite-sdk-php/blob/develop/src/Classes/Core/ApiClient.php

If you take a look at the __construct - there's a Guzzle header added on line 94:

$this->config['headers']['Content-Type'] = 'application/json';

I think this alone helped me before I effectively modified the base class here. As to the nesting of JSON, I don't think I had to do anything there json_encode worked without issue.

Update: I think that single change was enough to make the library more consistent in returning data.

[CaioBianchi]

@jamiehollern @joshbruce As mentioned before, it worked for me once I removed the trailing slash, for some reason.
Without having to json_encode my params.
