Post Data for SetCategory is invalid.

[beriniwlew]

When updating a category, it produces the following post data.

{
"user_key": "f8sd90f890sadf621",
"category_id": "20322",
"default": "1",
"templates_copyable": "1",
"label": {
"label0": "Category2"
},
"client_id": "621261"
}`

but it should be this

{
"user_key": "f8sd90f890sadf621",
"category_id": "20322",
"default": "1",
"templates_copyable": "1",
"label": [{
"label0": "Category2"
}],
"client_id": "621261"
}

Note that the labels should be an array.

I'm having an issue updating the templates as well.

hmmmmmm.

The posted data is FormUrl encoded so it should look something like this:

user_key=...dummy USER key...&
category_id=111&
default=1&
templates_copyable=1&
label[en_US]=My Category&
label[fr_FR]=Ma Catégorie

I'm guessing you converted it to JSON so it's easier to visualize?

But anyway, as far as I know label[<label>]=<value>&label[<label>]=<value> is the correct syntax. That's how we send all arrays to the CakeMail API.

What is the error you're getting?

I just compared how we handle the labels when creating a category with how we handle them when updating a category and I immediately noticed a difference:

when creating a category, here's the data we post to CakeMail:

label[0][language]=en_US&
label[0][name]=My Category&
label[1][language]=fr_FR&
label[1][name]=Ma Catégorie

as you can see the "language" and the "name" are handled separately.

This leads me to conclude that the way we handle labels when updating a category is wrong.
