Cakephp 3 : How to give condition in get method? - cakephp

I am trying to give a condition in cakephp 3 get method, where data will fetch by foreign id not primary key. Here I have tried below code:
$eventPasswordAll = $this->EventPasswordAll->get($id, [
'conditions' => ['event_id'=>$id],
'contain' => ['Events']
]);
But it showing me data according to id(primary key), not by event_id. How I add this condition in get methods like where event_id=my get id ?

Don't use get, use find. According to CakePHP 3.0 Table API, the get method:
Returns a single record after finding it by its primary key, if no record is found this method throws an exception.
You need to use find:
$eventPasswordAll = $this->EventPasswordAll->find('all', [ // or 'first'
'conditions' => ['event_id' => $id],
'contain' => ['Events']
]);
// or
$eventPasswordAll = $this->EventPasswordAll->find()
->where(['event_id' => $id])
->contain(['Events']);

Sometimes you want to get the id and the userid..
$this->loadModel('Jobapplications');
$application = $this->Jobapplications->find('all', [
'conditions' => ['id' => $id, 'user_id' => $user_id]
]);
$application = $application->first();

Insert/Delete methods for self-referencing belongsToMany association

I’m struggling with a self-referencing belongsToMany association. To be clear I have a Models table and each model can have multiple accessories, which are also models. So I have a linking table, Accessories, with a model_id (the “parent” model) and an accessory_id (the “child” model).
I finally found how to declare this in the ModelsTable :
$this->belongsToMany('AccessoryModels', [
'className' => 'Models',
'through' => 'Accessories',
'foreignKey' => 'model_id',
'targetForeignKey' => 'accessory_id'
]);
$this->belongsToMany('ParentAccessoryModels', [
'className' => 'Models',
'through' => 'Accessories',
'foreignKey' => 'accessory_id',
'targetForeignKey' => 'model_id'
]);
I also got it working to retrieve these data in the Models view.
But I now have some issues for the addAccessory (and deleteAccessory) method in the Models controller and views.
Here is it in the controller :
public function addAccessory($id = null)
{
$model = $this->Models->get($id, [
'contain' => []
]);
if ($this->getRequest()->is(['patch', 'post', 'put'])) {
$accessory = $this->getRequest()->getData();
if ($this->Models->link($model, [$accessory])) {
return $this->redirect(['action' => 'view', $model->id]);
}
}
$models = $this->Models
->find('list', ['groupField' => 'brand', 'valueField' => 'reference'])
->order(['brand' => 'ASC', 'reference' => 'ASC']);
$this->set(compact('model', 'models'));
}
The view is only a select dropdown with the list of all available models (I'm using a plugin, AlaxosForm, but it takes the original CakePHP control() function behaviour) :
echo $this->AlaxosForm->label('accessory_id', __('Accessory'), ['class' => 'col-sm-2 control-label']);
echo $this->AlaxosForm->control('accessory_id', ['options' => $models, 'empty' => true, 'label' => false, 'class' => 'form-control']);
echo $this->AlaxosForm->button(___('Submit'), ['class' => 'btn btn-default']);
The problem is that the addAccessory() function won't work when getting the submitted data from the form. I see the problem, as when posting the inserted values, only an array with one accessory_id is given (for example ['accessory_id' => 1] and the link() doesn't know what to do with it. So I think it’s an issue about data formatting but don’t see how to get it correctly.
Saving links (like any other ORM saving methods) requires to pass entities, anything else will either be ignored, or trigger errors.
So you have to use the accessory_id to obtain an entity first, something like:
$accessoryId = $this->getRequest()->getData('accessory_id');
$accessory = $this->Models->AccessoryModels->get($accessoryId);
Furthermore you need to use the model/table that corresponds to the target entities (second argument) that you want to link (to the first argument), ie you'd have to use AccessoryModels, like:
$this->Models->AccessoryModels->link($model, [$accessory])

Saving records with a given uuid

I want to save a bunch of static records in my database with a given uuid, this is for testing purposes, so that on every system the application starts with the exact same dataset.
When inserting with SQL this is no problem but I wanted to use the CakePHP way ( I use a migrations file for this, but that does not matter).
The problem is that I give cake a data array like this and save it:
$data = [
['id' => '5cedf79a-e4b9-f235-3d4d-9fbeef41c7e8', 'name' => 'test'],
['id' => 'c2bf879c-072c-51a4-83d8-edbf2d97e07e', 'name' => 'test2']
];
$table = TableRegistry::get('My_Model');
$entities = $table->newEntities($data, [
'accessibleFields' => ['*' => true],
'validate' => false
]);
array_map([$table, 'save'], $entities );
Everything saves, but all my items have been given a different uuid, If I debug a record after saving it shows the original uuid in the entity
'new' => false,
'accessible' => [
'*' => true
],
'properties' => [
'id' => '6b4524a8-4698-4297-84e5-5160f42f663b',
'name' => 'test',
],
'dirty' => [],
'original' => [
'id' => '5cedf79a-e4b9-f235-3d4d-9fbeef41c7e8'
],
So why does cake generate a new uuid for me? and how do I prevent it
This doesn't work because primary keys are unconditionally being generated before the insert operation, see
https://github.com/cakephp/cakephp/blob/3.0.0/src/ORM/Table.php#L1486-L1490
// ...
$id = (array)$this->_newId($primary) + $keys;
$primary = array_combine($primary, $id);
$filteredKeys = array_filter($primary, 'strlen');
$data = $filteredKeys + $data;
// ...
$statement = $this->query()->insert(array_keys($data))
->values($data)
->execute();
// ...
Currently the UUID type is the only type that implements generating IDs, so providing custom IDs works with other types.
You can workaround this by for example overriding the _newId() method in your table so that it returns null, which effectively results in the existing primary key not being overwritten.
protected function _newId($primary)
{
// maybe add some conditional logic here
// in case you don't want to be required
// to always manually provide a primary
// key for your insert operations
return null;
}

Using limit() on contained model

The Code
Say I have two models, named Product and Image, which are linked by Product hasMany Image and Image belongsTo Product.
Now, say I want to fetch all products with the first image each. I would use this code:
$this->Products->find('all')
->contain([
'Images' => function($q) {
return $q
->order('created ASC')
->limit(1);
}
]);
Looks about right, right? Except now only one of the products contains an image, although actually each product contains at least one image (if queried without the limit).
The resulting Queries
The problem seems to be with the limit, since this produces the following two queries (for example):
SELECT
Products.id AS `Products__id`,
FROM
products Products
and
SELECT
Images.id AS `Images__id`,
Images.product_id AS `Images__product_id`,
Images.created AS `Images__created`
FROM
images Images
WHERE
Images.product_id in (1,2,3,4,5)
ORDER BY
created ASC
LIMIT 1
Looking at the second query, it is quite obvious how this will always result in only one image.
The Problem
However, I would have expected the Cake ORM to limit the images to 1 per product when I called limit(1).
My question: Is this an error in how I use the ORM? If so, how should I limit the number of images to one per image?
The cleanest way you can do this is by creating another association:
$this->hasOne('FirstImage', [
'className' => 'Images',
'foreignKey' => 'image_id',
'strategy' => 'select',
'sort' => ['FirstImage.created' => 'DESC'],
'conditions' => function ($e, $query) {
$query->limit(1);
return [];
}
])
Check it ,this one is my code
$this->Orders->hasOne('Collections', [
'className' => 'Collections',
'foreignKey' => 'order_id',
'strategy' => 'select',
'conditions' => function (\Cake\Database\Expression\QueryExpression $exp, \Cake\ORM\Query $query) {
$query->order(['Collections.id' => 'ASC']);
return [];
}
]);
$Lists = $this->Orders->find('all')->where($condition)->contain(['Collections'])->order(['Orders.due_date DESC']);
$this->set(compact('Lists'));
If the reason you are limiting it to one image is that you want to have a defaulted image. You might consider adding a default field in the image table and doing a Alias like this:
var $hasOne = array(
'CoverImage' => array(
'className' => 'Image',
'conditions' => array('CoverImage.default' => true),
),
It looks like you are using Cake v3 so you can just add the equivalent association as the above is a 2.x sample.
In the Model definition we would do the following:
public $hasMany = [
'ModelName' => [
'limit' => 1,
'order' => 'ModelName.field DESC'
],
];
as described in the docs: https://book.cakephp.org/2/en/models/associations-linking-models-together.html#hasmany

CakePHP 2.0 - containable behavior not containing model

*EDIT/UPDATE*
I found a solution but don't really know why this has to be. If anyone could answer why this is that would be great.
I found that the MediaFloorplan would show up in my data when I added "floorplan_id" to my field list for MoveInHome being that MoveInHome hasMany Floorplan. Strange because "id" is found within the fields for the contained "Floorplan"
*END EDIT/UPDATE*
I'm working on a project for a home builder and am having a problem getting some data via containable.
App model has this:
public $actsAs = array("Containable");
I'm making a call from FloorplansController to MoveInHome model
$this->loadModel("MoveInHome");
$moveInReadyData = $this->MoveInHome->getByCommunity($communityid,4);
MoveInHome belongsTo Floorplan
Floorplan hasMany MediaFloorplan
Here's the function in the model:
public function getByCommunity($id,$limit=4) {
$params = array(
"fields" => array(
"address",
"city",
"state",
),
"conditions" => array(
"MoveInHome.community_id" => $id,
"MoveInHome.active" => 1,
"MoveInHome.sold" => 0
),
"limit" => $limit,
"order" => "RAND()",
"contain" => array(
"MediaMoveInHome" => array(
"order" => array(
"featured" => "DESC"
),
"fields" => array(
"media_move_in_home_file_path",
),
"limit" => 1,
),
"Floorplan" => array(
"fields" => array(
"id",
"name",
"style",
"bedrooms",
"bathrooms",
"sf_bsmt",
"sf_1flr",
"sf_2flr"
),
"MediaFloorplan" => array(
"conditions" => array(
"MediaFloorplan.type" => "main",
),
"fields" => array(
"id",
"media_floorplan_file_path"
)
)
)
)
);
return $this->find("all", $params);
}
All of the data comes back fine except for that MediaFloorplan doesn't come back at all. Note that I've made a similar contain request in other areas of the site. Would the problem stem from making the request from the FloorplansController to MoveInReady and trying to contain Floorplan, etc?
Thanks for the help.
As you found yourself, and DavidYell clarified in his comment on the question, you have to include the foreign keys in the fields option.
From the actual CakePHP documentation: here
When using ‘fields’ and ‘contain’ options - be careful to include all foreign keys that your query directly or indirectly requires. Please also note that because Containable must to be attached to all models used in containment, you may consider attaching it to your AppModel.

Complex find query for hasMany relationship in cakePHP 1.3

I have been busy with the cakePHP framework for a couple of months now and I really love it. At the moment I'm working on a very new project and it does the job like it should (I think ...) but I feel uncomfortable with some code I wrote. In fact I should optimize my paginate conditions query so I get immediately the right results (right now I manipulate the result set by a bunch of Set::extract method calls.
I'll sketch the relevant aspects of the application. I have a model 'Site' who has a hasMany relationship with the model 'SiteMeta'. This last table looks as follow: id, site_id, key, value, created.
In this last model I record several values of the site at various periods. The name of the key I want to store (e.g. alexarank, google pagerank, ...), and off course also the value. At a given interval I let my app update this database so I can track evolution of this values.
Now my problem is this.
On the overview page of the various websites (controller => Sites, action => index) I'd like to show the CURRENT pagerank of the website. Thus I need one exact SiteMeta record where the 'created' field is the highest and the value in 'key' should be matching the word 'pagerank'. I've tried several things I read on the net but got none of them working (containable, bindmodel, etc.). Probably I'm doing something wrong.
Right now I get results like this when I do a $this->paginate
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[Site] => Array
(
[id] => 1
[parent_id] => 0
[title] => test
[url] => http://www.test.com
[slug] => www_test_com
[keywords] => cpc,seo
[language_id] => 1
)
[SiteMeta] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id] => 1
[site_id] => 1
[key] => pagerank
[value] => 5
[created] => 2010-08-03 00:00:00
)
[1] => Array
(
[id] => 2
[site_id] => 1
[key] => pagerank
[value] => 2
[created] => 2010-08-17 00:00:00
)
[2] => Array
(
[id] => 5
[site_id] => 1
[key] => alexa
[value] => 1900000
[created] => 2010-08-10 17:39:06
)
)
)
To get the pagerank I just loop through all the sites and manipulate this array I get. Next I filter the results with Set::extract. But this doens't feel quite right :)
$sitesToCheck = $this->paginate($this->_searchConditions($this->params));
foreach($sitesToCheck as $site) {
$pagerank = $this->_getPageRank($site['Site']);
$alexa = $this->_getAlexa($site['Site']);
$site['Site']['pagerank'] = $pagerank;
$sites[] = $site;
}
if (isset($this->params['named']['gpr']) && $this->params['named']['gpr']) {
$rank = explode('-', $this->params['named']['gpr']);
$min = $rank[0];$max = $rank[1];
$sites = Set::extract('/Site[pagerank<=' . $max . '][pagerank>=' . $min .']', $sites);
}
$this->set(compact('sites', 'direction'));
Could you guys please help me to think about a solution for this? Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the contributions. I tried these options (also something with bindmodel but not working also) but still can't get this to work like it should be. If I define this
$this->paginate = array(
'joins'=> array(
array(
'table'=>'site_metas',
'alias'=>'SiteMeta',
'type' =>'inner',
'conditions' =>array('Site.id = SiteMeta.site_id')
)
),
);
I get duplicate results
I have a site with 3 different SiteMeta records and a site with 2 different record.
The paginate method returns me 5 records in total. There's probably an easy solution for this, but I can't figure it out :)
Also I tried to write a sql query myself, but seems I can't use the pagination magic in that case. Query I'd like to imitate with pagination options and conditions is the following. The query returns exactly as I would like to get.
$sites = $this->Site->query('SELECT * FROM sites Site, site_metas SiteMeta WHERE SiteMeta.id = (select SiteMeta.id from site_metas SiteMeta WHERE Site.id = SiteMeta.site_id AND SiteMeta.key = \'pagerank\' order by created desc limit 0,1 )');
As you are trying to retrieve data in a hasMany relationship, cakephp doesn't join the tables by default. If you go for joins you can do something like:
$this->paginate = array(
'joins'=>array(
array(
'table'=>'accounts',
'alias'=>'Account',
'type' =>'inner',
'conditions' =>array('User.id = Account.user_id')
)
),
'conditions'=> array('OR' =>
array(
'Account.name'=>$this->params['named']['nickname'],
'User.id' => 5)
)
);
$users = $this->paginate();
$this->set('users',$users);
debug($users);
$this->render('/users/index');
You have to fit this according to your needs of course. More on joins, like already mentioned in another answer.
Edit 1: This is because you are missing the second 'conditions'. See my code snippet. The first 'conditions' just states where the join happens, whereas the second 'conditions' makes the actual selection.
Edit 2: Here some info on how to write conditions in order to select needed data. You may want to use the max function of your rdbms on column created in your refined condition.
Edit 3: Containable and joins should not be used together. Quoted from the manual: Using joins with Containable behavior could lead to some SQL errors (duplicate tables), so you need to use the joins method as an alternative for Containable if your main goal is to perform searches based on related data. Containable is best suited to restricting the amount of related data brought by a find statement. You have not tried my edit 2 yet, I think.
Edit 4: One possible solution could be to add a field last_updated to the table Sites. This field can then be used in the second conditions statement to compare with the SiteMeta.created value.
Try something like this:
$this->paginate = array(
'fields'=>array(
'Site.*',
'SiteMeta.*',
'MAX(SiteMeta.created) as last_date'
),
'group' => 'SiteMeta.key'
'conditions' => array(
'SiteMeta.key' => 'pagerank'
)
);
$data = $this->paginate('Site');
Or this:
$conditions = array(
'recursive' => 1,
'fields'=>array(
'Site.*',
'SiteMeta.*',
'MAX(SiteMeta.created) as last_date'
),
'group' => 'SiteMeta.key'
'conditions' => array(
'SiteMeta.key' => 'pagerank'
)
);
$data = $this->Site->find('all', $conditions);
If that does not work check this and this. I am 100% sure that it is possible to get the result you want with a single query.
Try something like this (with containable set up on your models):
$this->Site->recursive = -1;
$this->paginate = array(
'conditions' => array(
'Site.title' => 'title') //or whatever conditions you want... if any
'contain' => array(
'SiteMeta' => array(
'conditions' => array(
'SiteMeta.key' => 'pagerank'),
'limit' => 1,
'order' => 'SiteMeta.created DESC')));
I use containable so much that I actually have this in my app_model file so it applies to all models:
var $actsAs = array('Containable');
Many thinks to all who managed to help me through this :)
I got it fixed after all hehe.
Eventually this has been the trick for me
$this->paginate = array(
'joins'=> array(
array(
'table'=>'site_metas',
'alias'=>'SiteMeta',
'type' =>'inner',
'conditions' => array('Site.id = SiteMeta.site_id'))
),
'group' => 'Site.id',
'contain' => array(
'SiteMeta' => array(
'conditions' => array(
'SiteMeta.key' => 'pagerank'),
'limit' => 1,
'order' => SiteMeta.created DESC',
)));
$sites = $this->paginate();
