Problem Importing Asset into Collection with Imports API

Hi,

I'm building a bespoke app for a client using the new Import API in Runway.

We're importing a series of images into the assets library (this works) and then including these within the import of a CSV of product data into a collection.

The CSV is imported. The images are imported into assets. But the images are not imported with the CSV data - no errors are displayed. Here's my diag report:

    Perch Runway: 3.0.4, PHP: 5.4.13, MySQL: 5.5.30, with PDO
    Server OS: Linux, apache2handler
    Installed apps: content (3.0.4), assets (3.0.4), categories (3.0.4), perch_blog (5.5.1), lda_auction (0.1), lda_auction (2.1), perch_members (1.6.1)
    App runtimes: <?php $apps_list = array( 'perch_members', 'perch_blog', 'lda_auction', );

    Resource folder writeable: Yes

    DOCUMENT_ROOT: /var/www/vhosts/domain/domain
    REQUEST_URI: /admin/core/settings/diagnostics/
    SCRIPT_NAME: /admin/core/settings/diagnostics/index.php

Here's my import function:

try {
$CollectionImporter->add_item([
   'Venue'              => "$csv_array[0]",
   'Sale-Lot-#'                 => "$csv_array[2]",
   'Product-Title'      => "$csv_array[6]",
   'Image1_assetID'         => 230, <- will be replaced with variable once working
   'Image2_assetID'         => 228,
 ]);    
 } catch (Exception $e) {
   die('Error: '.$e->getMessage());
 }

My images appear within a collection template and can be used via Collections:

<perch:content type="image" id="Image1" label="Image #1" width="1920" crop="true"/>
<perch:content type="image" id="Image2" label="Image #2" width="1920" crop="true"/>

The $csv_data[] items are imported correctly. The images are not imported - despite being imported correctly themselves (i.e. asset 230 and 228 already exist on the server).

Any ideas? Thanks!

I'll run it up here and see if I can reproduce it.

Thanks Drew - and whilst I think, is it possible to import an array of assets, to populate a repeater tag? Something like:

try {
$CollectionImporter->add_item([
   'Venue'              => "$csv_array[0]",
   'Sale-Lot-#'                 => "$csv_array[2]",
   'Product-Title'      => "$csv_array[6]",
   'Images_assetID'         => [230,228,226,224],
 ]);    
 } catch (Exception $e) {
   die('Error: '.$e->getMessage());
 }

There's not a way to import repeaters or blocks in the current version.

Hi Drew - just wondering if you'd had time to look at this yet? Thanks.

Importing into repeaters?

No, sorry, that was a secondary query. Just the bit at the top - followed the Import API docs, the images are being added to the asset bucket and the ID of the asset included within the collection import but the images aren't being included in the collection record.

Ah right, no I haven't I'm afraid.
