@alikon, I just tried testing the suggested solution. If I understand it correctly, I need to use fulltext or introtext instead of articletext, is that correct?
Here are the steps I ran as a simple test via Postman:
- Create a new article
POST {{base_path}}/api/index.php/v1/content/articles {"alias": "patch-test","articletext": "<p>Line 1</p><p>Line 2</p><p>Line 3</p>","catid": 2,"state": "1","metadesc": "","metakey": "","title": "Patching doesn't work.", "language":"*"}
-> Article with id 29 gets created as expected with 3 lines as text:
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
- Patch the article with the updated
fulltext
PATCH {{base_path}}/api/index.php/v1/content/articles/29 {"fulltext":"<p>Line 1</p><p><strong>Line 2</strong></p><p>Line 3</p>"}
(I have added<strong>markup around Line 2)
-> All markup gets removed, and the content gets duplicated:
Line 1Line 2Line 3 Line 1Line 2Line 3
- Patch the article with the updated
introtext
PATCH {{base_path}}/api/index.php/v1/content/articles/29 {"introtext":"<p>Intro here</p>"}
->Markup still missing, but the first part of the text gets replaced
Intro here Line 1Line 2Line 3
What am I missing in my requests? Any help much appreciated.
