Im making admin panel in SonataAdminBundle.
In User show action i have field companies which return array of companies assigned to the user.
It is a OneToMany relation. UserCompany has user_id and company_id.
I want to create link on each returned company name, which points to it's entity show action.
This is code from configureShowFields() function in UserAdmin class:
->with('Assigned organizers',['class' => 'col-md-6'])
->add('companies', null, [
'label' => 'Organizers',
])
->end()
I managed to create a link on a string field pointing to show action of an entity, but the id property is taken from the current entity view:
->with('Address', ['class' => 'col-md-6'])
->add('userProfile.locality', 'url', [
'route' => [
'name' => 'admin_app_employee_show',
'identifier_parameter_name' => 'id'
],
'label' => 'Localiy',
])
What's more Sonata Admin create links on related fields, when the relation is direct,
for example:
Company has many Employee. Then in Company show action on employees field
I see array with links already heading to edit action of Employee entty.
Maybe there is a possibility to override template for this field, but it seems unclear for me,
as the documentation lacks of more advanced examples.
This is how I tried to test overriding the template of a field:
->add('userProfile.street', null, array(
'label' => 'Street',
'template' => 'custom-field.html.twig',
))
Location of the template: App/templates/Admin/
Any help appreciated
SonataAdmin automatically creates links to related entities once it has all of them configured and added to services.
Then you can just change the route action of the link on the relation field as following:
->with('Assigned events', ['class' => 'col-md-6'])
->add('events', null, [
'route' => [
'name' => 'show'
],
'label' => 'Events',
])
->end()
You can also change the type of relation field eg.'many_to_one' instead of null which might help in some cases.

I am attempting to patchEntity with a join table, but I am unable to get it to save the associated records, and I think I have the backend code correct, but I am unsure of what the frontend code should look like...
Here is the scenario, I have three tables
Ledgers Table
id int
title string
Tribes Table
id int
name string
LedgersTribes Table
id int
ledger_id int
tribe_id int
Here is my backend code
public function ledgerSave($id = null)
{
$this->loadModel('Ledgers');
$ledger = $this->Ledgers->get($id, [
'contain' => ['LedgersTribes']
]);
if ($this->request->is(['patch', 'post', 'put'])) {
$ledger = $this->Ledgers->patchEntity($ledger, $this->request->getData(), [
'associated' => ['LedgersTribes']
]);
if ($this->Ledgers->save($ledger)) {
$this->Flash->success(__('The ledger has been saved.'));
return $this->redirect($this->referer());
}
$this->Flash->error(__('The ledger could not be saved. Please, try again.'));
}
$this->set(compact('ledger'));
}
Here is the relevant frontend code
<?= $this->Form->control('tribe_id[]', ['type' => 'checkbox', 'label' => false, 'class' => 'minimal', 'value' => $tribe->id]) ?>
My question is, what should the field name be for the tribe_id, the idea is, i have a list of checkboxes and the user checks off a couple of boxes and then those tribe_id's get inserted into the LedgersTribes table with the ledger_id
Any ideas on how I can do this?
EDIT: Here is a screenshot of the form
I have reviewed the following links, and none of them answer my question...
CakePHP 3: Save Associated Model Fail
Save associated in cakephp 3 not working
How to save associated joinData in cakephp 3.x
CakePHP 3 cannot save associated model
Cakephp 3 - Save associated belongsToMany (joinTable)
This should do:
echo $this->Form->control('tribes._ids[]', [
'type' => 'checkbox',
'label' => false,
'class' => 'minimal',
'value' => $tribe->id]
]);
This is described here: https://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/views/helpers/form.html#creating-inputs-for-associated-data
I think you have to get the table (ex: TableRegistry::getTableLocator()->get('')) where you want to save the data. Then create entity from that and save the data, hopefully it will work.
I have three table,
Authors
Stories
Details
Stories and Details are associated with the Authors, with hasOne relationship.
Bellow is the code in my AuthorsController
function add(){
if($this->request->is('POST')){
$author = $this->Authors->newEntity($this->request->data,
['associated' => ['Stories', 'Details'], 'validate' => false]
);
$this->Authors->save($author);
}
}
This is only saving data in the Authors table, not in the other two table.
Bellow is the data I have in $this->request->data
'Authors' => [
'name' => 'Bikash'
'Age' => '22'
'stories' => [
'name' => 'Life Without the L'
'gener_id' => 5
]
'details' => [
'qualification' => 'XYZ'
'biography'
]
];
What I am missing?
You are using the wrong property names, stories and details won't work.
The default association property name for hasOne associations, is the underscored singular variant of the association alias, so for Stories that would story, and for Details it would be detail.

I have created a module that adds a field to the user profile. I used field_create_field and field_create_instance to do this. When I disable the module, I want the field to no longer show up on the user profile, but I do not want to destroy it. I want to be able to enable the module and have the field show up and the data to still be there as originally entered. Can anyone tell me how to accomplish this?
Here is the code I used to create the field:
$field = array(
'field_name' => $field_name,
'type' => 'text',
'visibility' => 1,
'category' => 'API',
);
$field = field_create_field($field);
$field_instance = array(
'field_name' => $field_name,
'entity_type' => 'user',
'bundle' => 'user',
'label' => t('API Token'),
'cardinality' => 1,
'translatable' => 0,
'description' => t('By using this API token, you agree to the site Terms and Conditions and to acknowledge that your submission does not include protected health information or personal identifiers.'),
'widget' => array(
'type' => 'text_textfield',
'weight' => 10,
),
'formatter' => array(
'label' => t('field formatter label'),
'format' => 'text_default'
),
'settings' => array(
),
);
When you have created field using drupal entity like user, node etc then on that entity crud operation automatically apply.
As you have used api to "field_create_field" field then it automatically create field using api of entity vise verse its delete field when you uninstalled module.
First tell me when you uninstall your custom module then your custom field deleted from profile.? If yes then it's difficult to handle your use case. If no then in system table of Drupal you get status of your module whether it's disable or enable if status is 0 then used form alter hook of user profile and hide field
I was not able to accomplish exactly what I wanted, but I ended up installing the field extra widgets module and hiding the field completely on the edit form. Then, I used hook menu alter to create a local task tabs and I display the field on that tab.
I have created a custom module in drupal with entities. I have installed the entity api module. I have created my database schema with just two columns (employee_id, first_name) through the help of employee_management.install file (where as employee_management is my custom module name) and employee is my entity name.
I have also written the requisite functions employee_management.module but still it shows me the error , Whenever i tried to add a new entity in the admin/structure/employee it shows me the following error: "Not Found".
The requested URL drupal/employee/add/ was not found on this server.
function employee_management_entity_info() {
$employee_info['employee'] = array(
// A human readable label to identify our entity.
'label' => t('Employee Entity'),
// The controller for our Entity - extends the Drupal core controller.
'controller class' => 'EmployeeController',
// The table defined in hook_schema()
'base table' => 'employee',
// Returns the uri elements of an entity
'uri callback' => 'employee',
// Fieldable that we can attach fields to it - the core functionality will
// do the heavy lifting here.
'fieldable' => TRUE,
// The unique key of our base table.
'entity keys' => array(
'id' => 'employee_id',
),
// FALSE disables caching - caching functionality is handled by Drupal core
'static cache' => TRUE,
// Attach bundles - i.e. alternative configurations of fields associated with a main entity.
'bundles' => array(
'employee' => array(
'label' => 'Employee',
// Information below is used by the Field UI - they "attach" themselves here and lets us
// do the standard field management that all the core entities enjoy.
'admin' => array(
'path' => 'admin/structure/employee/add',
'access arguments' => array('administer employee entities'),
),
),
),
// View modes allow entities to be displayed differently based on context. We simply have one option
// here but an alternative would be to have a Full and Teaser mode akin to node.
'view modes' => array(
'full' => array(
'label' => t('Full'),
'custom settings' => FALSE,
),
)
);
return $employee_info;
}
EDIT
function employee_uri($employee) {
return array(
'path' => 'employee/' . $employee->employee_id,
);
}
And here is the complete list of function in the file employee_management.module
You don't automagically get the route and form to create your entity, you'll have to implement that yourself. See hook_menu and this guide.
My business directory application calls for 3 chained select boxes, and I'm using cakephp to build this application.
The hierarchy and order of choices for the sections is this:
1 - business group
2 - business type
3 - city (included in table customer)
The relationships are:
customer HABTM business types
business groups have many business types
business types have one business group, HABTM customers
I have searched for jquery plugins that help with this, and found one by Remy Sharp, but it doesn't have the more complex relationships I have.
http://remysharp.com/2007/09/18/auto-populate-multiple-select-boxes/
What I imagine happening is the first selection box (business groups) is pre-populated and once a selection is made, an event listener send a message that filters the second selection box, and the same for the third.
What I don't know is how to structure the search action based on the event listener.
Any advice or am I way off base?
As always, I come to the well for help.
Much appreciated.
Paul
Thanks very much Nick, I've read many of your posts I really appreciate your response.
I've followed your instructions but have run into problems. I've tried my best to resolve them but haven't figured it out.
This is what I've done so far:
1) created 'chained' actions in both the business_type and business_directory (renamed customer to business directory, which is more appropriate.)
business type chained action:
function chained($business_group_id) {
$business_types = $this->BusinessType->find('list', array(
'conditions' => array( 'BusinessType.business_group_id' => $business_group_id)
));
$this->set('business_types', $business_types);
}
business directory chained action:
function chained($business_type_id) {
$business_directories = $this->BusinessDirectory->bindModel(array( 'hasOne' => array('business_directories_business_types' )));
$business_directories = $this->BusinessDirectory->find('all', array(
'fields' => array( ' BusinessDirectory.city'),
'conditions' => array( 'business_directories_business_types.business_type_id' => $business_type_id)
));
$this->set('business_directories', $business_directories);
}
I did find that with a HABTM relationship, using find 'list' didn't create the join query, whereas find 'all' did.
2) I then created a search action in the business directory and corresponding view.
For the business groups I created a getList action to populate the option list in the search form:
function getList() {
return $this->BusinessGroup->find('list');
}
In the search view, I've added the javascript for the chain select:
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
$(function () {
var group = $('#businessGoup');
var type = $('#businessType');
var city = $('#businessDirectoryCity');
type.selectChain({
target: city,
url: '../business_directories/chained/'+$(this).val(),
data: { ajax: true, anotherval: "anotherAction" }
});
group.selectChain({
target: type,
url: '../business_types/chained/'+$(this).val()
}).trigger('change');
});
//-->
</script>
And the form:
create('business_directories', array('action'=>'/search_results')); ?>
input('business_group_id',
array( 'type' => 'select',
'id' => 'businessGoup',
'empty' => '-- Select Business Group --',
'multiple' => true,
'options' => $this->requestAction('/business_groups/getList' ),
'label' => 'Business Group'));
?>
input('business_type.id',
array( 'type' => 'select',
'id' => 'businessType',
'empty' => '-- Select Business Type --',
'multiple' => true,
'options' => 'none selected',
'label' => 'Business Type'));
?>
input('business_directories.id',
array( 'type' => 'select',
'id' => 'businessDirectoryCity',
'empty' => '-- Select City --',
'multiple' => true,
'options' => 'options',
'label' => 'City'));
?>
end('Search'); ?>
When I test the business type chain function, /business_types/chained/1, everything works.
But when I test the search view, I get a javascript alert error. Then when I check firebug, I get the following two errors:
Warning (2): Missing argument 1 for BusinessTypesController::chained() [APP\controllers\business_types_controller.php, line 71]
Notice (8): Undefined variable: business_group_id [APP\controllers\business_types_controller.php, line 73]
Any additional help with this is very much appreciated.
Thanks, Paul
What you need is to have 2 actions in the controllers (business_type and customer).
each action should look like this. In that case for the business type
function chained($parent_id){
$business_types = $this->BusinessType->find('list', array('conditions'=>'BusinessType.business_group_id'=>$parent_id));
$this->set('business_types', $business_types);
}
of course you need also view for that action which will format the values in the proper format for the chained select.
For Business group you need to show all values directly so no ajax is needed.
The Customer controller's action is similar, but you need to select cities of all related customers.
Then with the chained select you need to set the proper elements and set the proper actions which need to be called.
i.e.:
$('#id-of-the-business-group').selectChain({
target: $('#id-of-the-business-type-field'),
url: '/business_types/chained/'+$(this).val()
});
