API to allow externalisation of basic tasks

Hi babinus,

After a search, I have found these two tickets, but I don't know how to get their content: #583 and #638.

So I will ask :
Is there an existing API to projeqtor for tasks like :
- Create activity
- Work allocation
- Create actions
- Etc. ?


If not, is it possible, in your opinion and with your knowledge of the code, to create easily one, by using existing php code (for maintenance purpose of course) ?
For example, pre-requisites would be to have well identified functions doing the actions listed above.

Regards,

Hi and thank you for your reply.

The security is not a major problem for now in my context. And, using a similar system of session is maybe enough for the tasks I would like to do through the API.
I had a quick look to the code and saw the save() method.
So I have a question about the API : IYO, how do you see the API like ?
This is how I see it:
Because it is PHP, so a good thing would be to create a dedicated PHP server page POSTing (or GETing for the example) some data.
example : https://my.projeqtor.project/api.php?account=my_account&password=my_password&item=activity&action=create&parent_id=id&name=my_coding_activity&description=some_text&[...]
So, I think it can be easy this way.
Then, the second part is data retrieval. I have thought about using SQL views to prevent any change in DB but it requieres some MySQL driver. I would prefer something more flexible.

What do you think ?

regards.

Hello all !

New to Proteqtor and enjoying the learning - excellent functionalities and the documentation is perfectly detailed, Bravo!

We will be using it in combination with our Tiki and Drupal installation on shared LAMP.
We will be using REST API to communicate between the different installations; easier without any PHP coding.

As we are going through the different posts here, we wanted to know if the functionalities (READ/WRITE using REST API) can be implemented now (we are in v4.2.3) ?

If so please share the topic numbers here, so we can prepare a nice HowTo (happy to share with you).

Thanks in advance for all your help & advice!
