Is there a way where you can make select a subcategory as well as the main one in model choices.
I have the following:
TYPE = [toptype, [(subcategory1, subcategory1), (subcategory2, subcategory2),]]
type = models.CharField(max_length=300, choices=TYPE)
Is there a way that I can select the toptype as well?

How to create ArrayField() in TortoiseORM
from common.base_model import AbstractBaseModel
from tortoise.fields import CharField, BooleanField, ForeignKeyField, ArrayField
class City(AbstractBaseModel):
name = CharField(max_length=100, unique=True)
district = CharField(max_length=100, null=True)
state = CharField(max_length=100)
country = ArrayField() # not working
is_verified = BooleanField(default=True)
There is no ArrayField in TortoiseORM, here is an article about fields in TortoiseORM from its documentation.
As you can see, there is no matching field in TortoiseORM, so you have to extend the existing field class.
I suggest extending the basic class Field because your subclass' to_db_value method has to return the same type as extended field class' to_db_value method, and in the class Field it's not specified.
Next time, try harder - read the documentation and make better questions (add more info, show your attempts).
To achieve the result you want,which I'm assuming is having a field to hold multiple countries, you'd have to create another table for your country field and have a many to many relationship between that table and your city table,its a more conventional implementation that wont have you extend the existing field class.
I working on an application that has its own database and gets user information from another serivce (an LDAP is this case, through an API package).
Say I have a tables called Articles, with a column user_id. There is no Users table, instead a user or set of users is retrieved through the external API:
$user = LDAPConnector::getUser($user_id);
$users = LDAPConnector::getUsers([1, 2, 5, 6]);
Of course I want retrieving data from inside a controller to be as simple as possible, ideally still with something like:
$articles = $this->Articles->find()->contain('Users');
foreach ($articles as $article) {
echo $article->user->getFullname();
}
I'm not sure how to approach this.
Where should I place the code in the table object to allow integration with the external API?
And as a bonus question: How to minimise the number of LDAP queries when filling the Entities?
i.e. it seems to be a lot faster by first retrieving the relevant users with a single ->getUsers() and placing them later, even though iterating over the articles and using multiple ->getUser() might be simpler.
The most simple solution would be to use a result formatter to fetch and inject the external data.
The more sophisticated solution would a custom association, and a custom association loader, but given how database-centric associations are, you'd probably also have to come up with a table and possibly a query implementation that handles your LDAP datasource. While it would be rather simple to move this into a custom association, containing the association will look up a matching table, cause the schema to be inspected, etc.
So I'll stick with providing an example for the first option. A result formatter would be pretty simple, something like this:
$this->Articles
->find()
->formatResults(function (\Cake\Collection\CollectionInterface $results) {
$userIds = array_unique($results->extract('user_id')->toArray());
$users = LDAPConnector::getUsers($userIds);
$usersMap = collection($users)->indexBy('id')->toArray();
return $results
->map(function ($article) use ($usersMap) {
if (isset($usersMap[$article['user_id']])) {
$article['user'] = $usersMap[$article['user_id']];
}
return $article;
});
});
The example makes the assumption that the data returned from LDAPConnector::getUsers() is a collection of associative arrays, with an id key that matches the user id. You'd have to adapt this accordingly, depending on what exactly LDAPConnector::getUsers() returns.
That aside, the example should be rather self-explanatory, first obtain a unique list of users IDs found in the queried articles, obtain the LDAP users using those IDs, then inject the users into the articles.
If you wanted to have entities in your results, then create entities from the user data, for example like this:
$userData = $usersMap[$article['user_id']];
$article['user'] = new \App\Model\Entity\User($userData);
For better reusability, put the formatter in a custom finder. In your ArticlesTable class:
public function findWithUsers(\Cake\ORM\Query $query, array $options)
{
return $query->formatResults(/* ... */);
}
Then you can just do $this->Articles->find('withUsers'), just as simple as containing.

I have a problem with certain generated query, the query does an inner join with a table that has some same field.
How can I have the query with the table name in each field, basically what i want is that:
Convert this:
select "list_id", "date_time","plate"...
TO:
select register."list_id", register."date_time",register."plate"...
I think with alias to the field name also could be accomplished but i dont know how to add the alias in atk4
If someone wants to see the full query and atk error:
Application Error: Database Query Failed
Exception_DB, code: 0
Additional information:
pdo_error: SQLSTATE[42702]: Ambiguous column: 7 ERROR: column reference "date_time" is ambiguous LINE 1: select "date_time","plate",(select "name" from "lane" whe... ^
mode: select
params:
query: select "date_time","plate",(select "name" from "lane" where "register"."lane_id" = "lane"."id" ) "lane",(select "name" from "camera" where "register"."camera_id" = "camera"."id" ) "camera",(select "detail"."id" from "detail" where "register"."detail_id" = "detail"."id" ) "detail","id","lane_id","camera_id","detail_id" from "register" inner join "detail" on "detail"."id" = "register"."detail_id" order by (select "detail"."id" from "detail" where "register"."detail_id" = "detail"."id" )
This is how im making the model. This model has 3 related fields in other tables, with those, all is OK. But i want to have one more field (field name from table List), and List is not directly related to Register, is only related throught Detail. So i have to get it throught Register->Detail->List..
table Register(id, plate, detail_id,..)---->hasOne(detail_id)-->table Detail(id, list_id, date..)---->hasOne(list_id)---->table List(id,name,..)
model class:
class Model_Register extends Model_Table {
public $table='register';
function init(){
parent::init();
$this->addField('date_time')->sortable(true)->defaultValue(date('Y-m-d H:m:i'))->type('date')->mandatory(true);
$this->addField('plate')->sortable(true)->mandatory(true);
$this->hasOne('Lane', 'lane_id')->sortable(true)->system(true);
$this->hasOne('Camera', 'camera_id')->sortable(true);
$this->hasOne('Detail', 'detail_id')->sortable(true);
}
}
And after in the page class i do the join, yes I know is detail at this moment is redudant im only trying...
$register = $crud->setModel('Register');
$q = $register->_dsql();
$q->join('detail', 'detail_id', 'inner');
$q->join('list', 'list_id', 'inner');
How can I have this field from the List field?? Any solution will be welcomed..
Thanks in advice!! Im breaking my head with this! ;)
Thanks for your time guys, finally I found the solution with the called: Chained joins
Example from documentation:
$perm = $this->join('permission');
$res = $perm->join('resource');
Belive or not that was my real problem! Thanks all anyway
try to add 'table_alias' property for your Models
class Model_Yours extends Model_Table {
public $table_alias = '_alias';
}
Default value for this property is null - link
So if you add any value it can be used here
Not sure if this will help :(
$t1 = $this->add('Main_Table');
$t2 = $t1->leftJoin('joined_table_name');
$t2->addField('joined_table_field_ALIAS','joined_table_field_REALNAME');
check SQL_Model::addField() method here
In my CakePHP application, I have a model like this:
class Duck extends AppModel {
var $name = 'Duck';
function get_table_name() {
$tbl_name = //compute default table name for this model
}
}
I would like to write the function get_table_name() that outputs the default table name for the model. For the example above, it should output ducks.
EDIT:
Several people have pointed out the use of $this->table.
I did small testing and found out the following:
In the question as I have put above, $this->table indeed contains the table name.
However, actually, my code looked more like this:
class Duck extends Bird {
var $name = 'Duck';
function get_table_name(){
$tbl_name = //comput default table name for this model
}
}
class Bird extends AppModel {
}
In this case $this->table is empty string.
I went with this approach because I wanted to share some code between two of my models. Looks like this is not a good way to share code between models which need some common functionality.
You're looking for the Inflector class.
Inflector::tableize($this->name)
(tableize calls two Inflector methods to generate the table name: underscore() and pluralize())
Edit:
According to the source code, $this->table should contain the name of the table that CakePHP will use for the model, but in my experience this isn't always set. I'm not sure why.
To get the name of the table that the model is currently using, you can use: $this->table. If you don't manually change the model's table conventions, this may be the most useful in the case of CakePHP ever changing its conventions to use table names using something other than Inflector.
CakePHP's Inflector
function get_table_name() {
$tbl_name = Inflector::pluralize($this->name);
}
OR the tableize method
function get_table_name() {
$tbl_name = Inflector::tableize($this->name);
}
Edit
This also addresses the apparent "ghost" issue with $this->table in the Model.
Digging around in the __construct for Model I discovered two things:
Cake uses Inflector::tableize() to get the table name. This alone is enough to warrant using tableize over pluralize. You'll get consistent results.
$this->table is not set by the Model::__construct() unless $this->useTable === false AND $this->table === false.
It appears that if you know you haven't set $this->useTable to false you should be able to use this over $this->table. Admittedly though I only briefly scanned the source and I haven't really dug deep enough to say why $this->table isn't working sometimes.
To get the full table name for a model you have to take the table prefix into account.
$table = empty($this->table) ? Inflector::tableize($this->name) : $this->table;
$fullTableName = $this->tablePrefix . $table;
I used to use inflector to get the table name from model's name
$tableName = Inflector::pluralize(Inflector::underscore($model));
but this is not really universal, using useTable looks better, by default it will contain table's name by convention, and if you have a table that does not match the conventions, then you should manually specify it by useTable. So, in both cases the result will be correct
$this->User->useTable
I want to implement some kind of tagging functionality to my app. I want to do something like...
class Item(db.Model):
name = db.StringProperty()
tags = db.ListProperty(str)
Suppose I get a search that have 2 or more tags. Eg. "restaurant" and "mexican".
Now, I want to get Items that have ALL, in this case 2, given tags.
How do I do that? Or is there a better way to implement what I want?
I believe you want tags to be stored as 'db.ListProperty(db.Category)' and then query them with something like:
return db.Query(Item)\
.filter('tags = ', expected_tag1)\
.filter('tags = ', expected_tag2)\
.order('name')\
.fetch(256)
(Unfortunately I can't find any good documentation for the db.Category type. So I cannot definitively say this is the right way to go.) Also note, that in order to create a db.Category you need to use:
new_item.tags.append(db.Category(unicode(new_tag_text)))
use db.ListProperty(db.Key) instead,which stores a list of entity's keys.
models:
class Profile(db.Model):
data_list=db.ListProperty(db.Key)
class Data(db.Model):
name=db.StringProperty()
views:
prof=Profile()
data=Data.gql("")#The Data entities you want to fetch
for data in data:
prof.data_list.append(data)
/// Here data_list stores the keys of Data entity
Data.get(prof.data_list) will get all the Data entities whose key are in the data_list attribute
