How do you add and remove tags from a user?

Post by Yajasi »

I've tried using the API class CompanyGenericTag function called deleteCompanyGenericTag(), but this only removes the tag from the database. Opening the employee in TimeTrex shows the tag is still there but orphaned.

Code: Select all

// this code leaves an orphaned tag still associated with the user record
$ttAPI = new TimeTrexClientAPI( 'CompanyGenericTag' );
$ttAPI->deleteCompanyGenericTag($tag['id'])
I've tried modifying the ['tag'] element of the array of data obtained from the getUserfunction in the API class User, but the tag still remains orphaned.

Code: Select all

// this code does not remove a tag on the user record
$ttAPI = new TimeTrexClientAPI( 'User' );
$ttData = $ttAPI->getUser(null, true)->getResult();
$tagged_entry = $ttData[0];
$tagged_entry['tag'] = str_replace($tag_string,'',$tagged_entry['tag']);
$ttAPI->setUser($tagged_entry);

Send the 'tag' array element like this:

Code: Select all

'tag' => 'keepthistag, -removethistag'
So basically just add a "-" infront of the tag you want to remove, while keeping any other tags there.
