When users register as members, a unique membership card is created and stored against each member. Admin can access it as well, and change it if necessary.
Do you think Asset Importer is the right way to store the membership card? I'm not sure what else to use. If there's a better way please advise, I'll gladly learn.
I'm also not sure how to call the API. From https://docs.grabaperch.com/api/import/assets/, I'm not sure where to create an instance of the API. Tried it in a test page, but the page simply doesn't load. Nothing in the error log either.
Looking for a way to store it against each member as a bucket resource.
The generated image is currently stored in a folder (say, img) and needs to be added as a resources, so that Admin can access and download the image if needed.
I'd went ahead with an alternative, to simply output image path (in img folder) in Admin. To download image Admin needs to copy and paste the link. That's not ideal, so looking for a way to add the image into resource bucket.
It doesn't make much sense to use in Perch, but yes, it's there.

Hello Yan,
What is a membership card in your case? Is it a file (e.g. image or PDF) you wish to import?
Hi Hussein, membership card is a php generated jpg. The function is called after successful shop payment.
Thanks.
I see. So what are you doing with generated image at the moment? And what are you trying to achieve?
Are you already adding the generated image to the member after a successful payment? And wish to use the Importer to make it available via Assets?
Or are you looking for a way to add the generated image to the member?

However, as far as I know, you can't update things with the Importer. So I doubt you can update a member field this way.
Hopefully Drew/Rachel or others can suggest a way to achieve this.
Thanks Hussein =)
I'm moving ahead with the alternative. If Drew does get to look at this amidst his busyness, that will be a bonus.
