Create Vendor's Administrator Account Through Api

[hummer]

Hi community!

I run CS-Cart in the "Multivendor Plus" variant.

I can successfully create a vendor via the API. So far so good.

How can I create a vendor's administrator account for this vendor via API? In the GUI (Vendor > New Vendor) this option is called ("Create administrator account") - what is the name of the field in the API?

Best regards

Hello,

You have to create vendor with status "N" (New), then use method PUT to change this vendor status to "A" (Active). This way, vendor will be active and vendor administrator will be auto-created.

If you will add vendor instantly with status "A", vendor administrator is not created.

Best regards,

Robert

Works, thank you!

Update the vendor to status A did the trick.

PUT /api/vendors/42 HTTP/1.1
Host: xxx.xxx.com:443
Content-Type: application/json
authorization: Basic bWFys2V0cGxhY3VAbG9naXN1aMNzLmNsb3VkOklJMjhaMFVHOUJxSGoya0oxenoyUTczckZUMG9zMHQz
content-length: 43
{

“status”: “A”

}

As expected I receive HTTP status 200. What irritates me is the PHP Notice with various error messages that are also displayed:

Does anyone know what this is all about?

Hello,

Have you passed the lang_code variable when creating vendor? This is what may be causing the notice "Undefined index: language_code".

You should also pass vendor e-mail address when making PUT request - this should remove the warning "Undefined index: email".

You can also fix it on code level: in file app/functions/fn.companies.php, on line 829, you can add condition to execute SQL query only if $_data['email'] is set.

Best regards,

Robert
