I want to create a new entry for a section named 'drinks'(having section id= 6). The namespace of the file having this code is namespace putyourlightson\userguide\controllers;.I copied this code from StackExchange. My first line is getting an error(Class 'Craft\EntryModel' not found).

$entry = new \Craft\EntryModel();

$attributes = [
  'section'   => $yourSectionId,
  'entryType' => $yourEntryTypeId,
  'field1'    => 'foo',
  'field2'    => 'bar'
];

$entry->getContent()->setAttributes($attributes);

craft()->entries()->saveEntry($entry);

How should you import it?enter image description here

    Do you mean add a new section model, or a new entry type maybe? (Because line one in your code is creating a new entry model) If you're just wondering how to save an entry as it looks like above, check the docs here

    The EntryModel class is under the Craft namespace. If your plugin isn't under the Craft namespace (back in Craft 2 most plugins were as the examples were all like that) you'll need to use it at the top of the plugin/class where your code is. so use Craft\EntryModel; should do it. Or namespace the EntryModel right there $entry = new Craft\EntryModel();

    Ahh, you're trying to use Craft 2 code in Craft 3. You've just looked at the wrong docs. Try this link for the Craft 3 version. (Most things have dropped "Model" from their names so you want new Entry();)

Just so there's an answer here. OP was using Craft 2 code in a Craft 3 environment.

The code should be something like this in Craft 3:

$entry = new Entry();
$entry->sectionId = $yourSectionId;
$entry->typeId = $yourEntryTypeId;
$entry->authorId = $yourAuthorId;
$entry->enabled = true;
$entry->title = "Foo";
$entry->setFieldValues([
    'field1' => "Foo",
    'field2' => "Bar",
]);
$success = Craft::$app->elements->saveElement($entry);
if (!$success) {
    Craft::error('Couldn’t save the entry "'.$entry->title.'"', __METHOD__);
}

  • Hi, sorry I just saw this again. I think my previous comment on how to import (use) PHP classes in your code covers that. If you'd like to read more on that, the PHP docs are worth a look. You could do something like use craft\elements\Entry as MySpecificUseOfAnEntry; and then when you want to new up that class do $entry = new MySpecificUseOfAnEntry(); and the code above, with those changes, will work fine.

Either use

use craft\elements\Entry;
$entry = new Entry();

OR 

$entry = new \craft\elements\Entry();

You can download and see guest-entries plugin code to correctly see how to save an entry from a plugin.
