Method Community

And David, I really do appreciate your responsiveness, but gbisaga has nailed it: it seems like there's not really an understanding of how the API will actually be used in the real world. I want to implement this software in more places, but further API development has to be part of that. 

Outstanding! I'm actually working from within a WordPress front end, but I'm sure there's useful structure in your code that would help answer some of the questions I'm having. I don't mean to sound frustrated, but I just keep hearing the same answers over and over which don't actually address my questions. I'm not sure ...

Thanks, Dave, but aside from learning that Like is supported and joins are not, that just wasn't very helpful. I've used all the documentation at http://www.methodintegration.com/Method-API-for-QuickBooks-CRM.aspx, but don't see much in the way of actual data examples in there. You offer some code examples in .Net and VBA, and ...

Hi Matt! OK, that solved the initial error message. Now, how do I use the rest of the fields?  - Can I use a "Like" operator in the strWhereClause (or any other fuzzy operator?)  - Putting any value at all in datReturnedDataSet causes an error; what's the syntax for value in this field?  - Since ...

I'm not asking anything about code at all. What I need is an XML package example. Your C# there generates an XML package which posts against the API endpoint. Can you execute that code snippet, and paste the actual XML package generated by it? Thanks!

There don't seem to be any examples for what the XML package should look like for this function, and I've had zero success trying to post a test package. Here's an example: <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:tem="http://tempuri.org/" ...

That was exactly correct. All tests are passing now. Thanks David!

" Is the & in McMoretestspam Wedding Ceremony & Reception 05/25/2013 encoded?" Holy crap. Been banging my head on this for days, and I think that's the obvious answer I missed. Testing now.  In answer to the other questions, it's well formed xml packets being posted via cURL in PHP.

Hi there! We've got a customer form which on submission, creates a new Lead and associated Opportunity. For the most part, this works without issue. Every now and then, with no explanation, the Lead will create, but the Opportunity fails to. I added a hook to email me the raw API call after submission, and waited for the next failure, then ...

Has anyone gotten the standard SOAP methods for PHP working correctly? I tried both soapclient and nusoap, and neither worked well to create the exact structure wanted; I ended up using cURL to pass a fully formed request built in SoapUI.
