Magento Product Script – Adding a Product by Upgrade Script in Magento 1.9

data-scriptmagento-1.9product

I'm trying to add a product using an upgrade script inside my module, but I have this error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function getStoreIds() on a non-object

Here is my code:

$installer = $this;
$installer->startSetup();
Mage::app()->setCurrentStore(Mage_Core_Model_App::ADMIN_STORE_ID);
try {
    $product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product');
    $product->setSku("credit10");
    $product->setName("12€ Credit");
    $product->setDescription("12€ credito");
    $product->setShortDescription("12€ credito");
    $product->setPrice(10.00);
    $product->setTypeId('virtual');
    $product->setAttributeSetId(4); // need to look this up
    $product->setCategoryIds("2"); // need to look these up
    $product->setWeight(1.0);
    $product->setTaxClassId(2); // taxable goods
    $product->setVisibility(4); // catalog, search
    $product->setStatus(1); // enabled
// assign product to the default website
    $product->setWebsiteIds(array(1));
    $product->setStoreId(1);
    $product->save();
}catch(Exception $e) {
    Mage::log($e->getMessage());
}
$installer->endSetup();

What I'm wrong?
thanks

I don't know exactly what the problem might be for you, but here is a script that worked for me.
But first a remark or 2.

  1. Calling Mage::app()->setCurrentStore(Mage_Core_Model_App::ADMIN_STORE_ID); has no effect in the install scripts.
  2. You should not create products with the scripts from the sql folder. Use the data folder for that. I don't where you placed the code, but in case you put it in the sql folder move it to data/{resource_name_setup}/data-install-1.0.0.php (change the version according to your needs).

Now the script that worked for me. 

$websiteIds = Mage::getModel('core/website')->getCollection()
    ->addFieldToFilter('website_id', array('neq'=>0))
    ->getAllIds();

$product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product');
$product->setStoreId(0); //use this instead of Mage::app()->setCurrentStore(Mage_Core_Model_App::ADMIN_STORE_ID);
$product->setWebsiteIds($websiteIds);
$product->setTypeId('virtual');
$product->addData(array(
    'name' => 'Product name here',
    'attribute_set_id' => $product->getDefaultAttributeSetId(), //use the default attribute set or an other id if needed.
    'status' => Mage_Catalog_Model_Product_Status::STATUS_ENABLED, //set product as enabled
    'visibility' => Mage_Catalog_Model_Product_Visibility::VISIBILITY_BOTH, //set visibility in catalog and search
    'meta_title' => 'Meta title here',
    'weight' => 1,
    'sku' => 'sku-here',
    'tax_class_id' => 2, //could not find a non-hardcoded value for this
    'description' => 'Description here',
    'short_description' => 'Short description here',
    'stock_data' => array( //set stock data
        'manage_stock' => 1,
        'qty' => 999, //set the qty
        'use_config_manage_stock' => 1,
        'use_config_min_sale_qty' => 1,
        'use_config_max_sale_qty' => 1,
        'use_config_enable_qty_increments' => 1,
        'in_stock' => 1
    ),

));
$product->save();

Also don'w wrap your install script in $installer->startSetup() and $installer->endSetup(). startSetup disabled the foreign keys, and you don't want that while adding a product.
