How to update/reset users.categories

AndreasEugster

Hi,

Is there a way to reset the gis.users.categories? Or update / remove specific entries in the memberCategorySchema?

gis.users.categories = None

will delet all the user-categories, but reloading a memberCategorySchema will fail afterwards.

gis.users.categories = {'memberCategorySchema': [
{'title': 'Categories','categories': [{'title': 'bla','categories': [{'title': 'bli','categories': [{'title': 'blu'}]}]}]}]}

self._gis.users.categories[0]["categories"]
IndexError: list index out of range

Hi @AndreasEugster

What error are you getting? It it this...

ValueError: A list or tuple must be given to set the categories.

I get this error if the categories is already set to None. Worked around it with the below.

from arcgis.gis import GIS

agol = GIS("home")

## only update to None if it is not already None
if agol.users.categories != None:
    agol.users.categories = None


user_schema = {
    'memberCategorySchema': [
        {
            'title': 'Categories',
            'categories': [
                {
                    'title': 'bla',
                    'categories': [
                        {
                            'title': 'bli',
                            'categories': [
                                {
                                    'title': 'blu'
                                }
                            ]
                        }
                    ]
                }
            ]
        }
    ]
}


agol.users.categories = user_schema

print(agol.users.categories)

Hi @Clubdebambos

As soon as the users.categories are None I can not reasign the schema anymore... unless I'm reconnecting to agol once more (agol = GIS("home")) before asigning the schema. Doing it in one run without reconnecting results in the error: ...in categories
for category in self._gis.users.categories[0]["categories"]:
IndexError: list index out of range

I'll try with the latest arcgis api version 2.2.x (rigthnow using 2.1.x) and also outside our internal-network. I'll provide an update later 🙂

Hi @Clubdebambos

Strange... Can you confirm that the snippet works if you re-assign the schema directly after setting it None without "reconnecting" to GIS("home")?

from arcgis.gis import GIS

agol = GIS("home")
agol.users.categories = None

user_schema = {
    'memberCategorySchema': [
        {
            'title': 'Categories',
            'categories': [
                {
                    'title': 'bla',
                    'categories': [
                        {
                            'title': 'bli',
                            'categories': [
                                {
                                    'title': 'blu'
                                }
                            ]
                        }
                    ]
                }
            ]
        }
    ]
}

agol.users.categories = user_schema
## results in error?!
## however with "reconnecting before re-assigning" it works:
# agol = GIS("home")
# agol.users.categories = user_schema

why the "re-connection"?

Hi @AndreasEugster

I am using arcgis api version 2.2.0.1 and I have no issue with the following.

Create a user category schema

from arcgis.gis import GIS

agol = GIS("home")

user_schema = {
    "memberCategorySchema": [
        {
            "title": "Office Location",
            "categories": [
                {
                    "title": "USA",
                    "categories": [
                        {
                            "title": "Maine"
                        },
                        {
                            "title": "California",
                            "categories": [
                                {
                                    "title": "Redlands"
                                },
                                {
                                    "title": "San Diego"
                                }
                            ]
                        }
                    ]
                },
                {
                    "title": "Europe",
                    "categories": [
                        {
                            "title": "Zurich"
                        },
                        {
                            "title": "Edinburgh"
                        }
                    ]
                }
            ]
        },
        {
        "title": "Department",
        "categories": [
            {
                "title": "Sales"
            },
            {
                "title": "Consulting"
            }
        ]
    }
    ]
}

agol.users.categories = user_schema

Print to test... I wont add results put it prints fine

from arcgis.gis import GIS

agol = GIS("home")

print(agol.users.categories)

Delete the schema

from arcgis.gis import GIS

agol = GIS("home")

agol.users.categories = None

Re-print, it returns None.

Re-assign a new schema.

from arcgis.gis import GIS

agol = GIS("home")

user_schema = {
    'memberCategorySchema': [
        {
            'title': 'Categories',
            'categories': [
                {
                    'title': 'bla',
                    'categories': [
                        {
                            'title': 'bli',
                            'categories': [
                                {
                                    'title': 'blu'
                                }
                            ]
                        }
                    ]
                }
            ]
        }
    ]
}

agol.users.categories = user_schema

Printing new schema works just fine.

from arcgis.gis import GIS

agol = GIS("home")

print(agol.users.categories[0]["categories"])

##prints
[{'title': 'bla', 'categories': [{'title': 'bli', 'categories': [{'title': 'blu'}]}]}]

AndreasEugster

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.
Your answer refers to content-categories... I'm talking about user-categories and the "memberCategorySchema". There is no gis.users.categories.delete()...

David_McRitchie

Hey Andreas have you tried using gis.content.categories.delete()?

Based on the documentation you may need to fully remove the the category schema, remake and reassign this.

Hope that helps,

David
