Hi I have a for that has one field (url) and I want to insert the URL typed in the form to the DB
My function add in my controller looks like this:
public function add(){
if($this->request->is('post')){
// debug($this->Link->find('all'));//this works
$link = $this->Link->findByUrl($this->request->data['link']['url']);
if(empty($link)){
//I will create the link
$this->Link->create($this->request->data, true);//true = ignoring the ID
$this->Link->save(null, true, array('url'));
//null = because I ready wrote "$this->request->data" in create
//true = I want to use VALIDATION
//array = I choose to SAVE this field only
echo "I've created the link";
die($this->Link->id);
}else {
debug($link);
die("The link is already in the database");
//je dois récupérer le lien
}
}
How can I insert into the DB the links entered?
Not sure which version of Cake you're using, but the way this would normally work is:
create() new reference
set() new data
save() reference
Example:
$this->Link->create();
$this->Link->set($this->request->data['link']);
$save = $this->Link->save();
echo $save ? "I've created the link" : "Error creating link!";
die($this->Link->id);

I started fiddling with Prestashop 1.7 modules and I ran into this weird behavior.
I have this code to save values from form post to database (working ok)
protected function postProcess()
{
$form_values = $this->getConfigFormValues();
foreach (array_keys($form_values) as $key) {
Configuration::updateValue($key, Tools::getValue($key));
if($key == 'MSLT_MEGAMENU_CATEGORIES'){
$categories = implode(",",Tools::getValue($key));
Configuration::updateValue('MSLT_MEGAMENU_CATEGORIES', $categories);
}else{
$this->errors[]=$this->l('Please select categories to display');
}
}
}
And I use this code to fetch those values from database (works ok)
protected function getConfigFormValues()
{
$categories = explode(',',Configuration::get('MSLT_MEGAMENU_CATEGORIES', true));
return array(
'MSLT_MEGAMENU_LIVE_MODE' => Configuration::get('MSLT_MEGAMENU_LIVE_MODE', true),
'MSLT_MEGAMENU_CATEGORIES' => $categories,
'MSLT_MEGAMENU_ACCOUNT_EMAIL' => Configuration::get('MSLT_MEGAMENU_ACCOUNT_EMAIL', 'contact#prestashop.com'),
'MSLT_MEGAMENU_ACCOUNT_PASSWORD' => Configuration::get('MSLT_MEGAMENU_ACCOUNT_PASSWORD', null),
);
}
and helper to populate form with values
$helper->tpl_vars = array(
'fields_value' => $this->getConfigFormValues(), /* Add values for your inputs */
'languages' => $this->context->controller->getLanguages(),
'id_language' => $this->context->language->id,
);
return $helper->generateForm(array($this->getConfigForm()));
This is the var_dump() when trying to load values from database, for this case my DB value is (1,3,9)
array(1) { [0]=> string(1) "9" }
As you can see Configuration::get() only gets the last string value.
Interesting behavior is that when I update the data and stay in the same page, then everything is ok and data is fetched properly, but when I leave module configuration page and comeback, the issue happens. Maybe I am missing some little snippet of code? I am still a newbie. If needed I can provide more code.
I don't know what your specific goal is but in any case it is always convenient to use Prestashop's own functions.
To save and select the configuration variables
eg, save values in json format
Configuration::updateValue('MYVALUES', Tools::jsonEncode(Tools::getValue('MYVALUES')), true );
eg, get values
Tools::jsonDecode( Configuration::get( 'MYVALUES' );
Dirty workaround I found to get imploded values from DB correctly. Maybe someone will use it.
$sql = 'SELECT * FROM '._DB_PREFIX_.'configuration WHERE name = "MSLT_MEGAMENU_SELECTED_CAT"';
$value = Db::getInstance(_PS_USE_SQL_SLAVE_)->getRow($sql);
$selected = explode(',',$value['value']);
Hi for my custom component I need to set some custom parameters for joomla user for membership for checking if the user ni trial period or not and it can be change from the component admin panel for specific user.
The problem arises while retrieving the parameter. I think it is stored in cookie and it isn^t updated. I wrote the code like that to check it.
$user = JFactory::getUser(JRequest::getVar('id','0'));
echo $user->getParam('trialPeriod','0');
to save the value I am useing JHTML booleanlist.
$user->setParam('trialPeriod',$data['trialPeriod']);
$user->save();
Then is stores the value in joomla users table in the row of that user with column of params as;
{"trialPeriod":"0"}
in this situation it echoes the value as 0. Then I am changin the state of trialPeriod var as 1 and storing in db it updates the db as;
{"trialPeriod":"1"}
After all I am refreshing the page where the value is prompt the the screen the the value remains still the same as 0;
To clarify;
First of all there is no problem with saving the param it is changed properly. The problem is retrieving the changed one. The releated piece of code is following;
$user = JFactory::getUser();
$doc = JFactory::getDocument();
if($user->getParam('trialPeriod',0) == 0){
$ed = JFactory::getDate($obj->expirationDate);//obj is user from custom table and there is no problem with getting it.
$isTrialEnd = FALSE;
}else{
$ed = JFactory::getDate($user->getParam('trialExp',0));
$isTrialEnd = TRUE;
}
if($isTrialEnd){
//do something else
}else{
echo $user->getParam('trialPeriod','0');
}
actually big part of the code is unneccessary to explain it but you will get the idea.
What is the solution for this?
Editted.
$app = JFactory::getApplication();
$config = JFactory::getConfig();
$db = $this->getDbo();
$isNew = empty($data['uid']) ? true : false;
$params = JComponentHelper::getParams('com_dratransport');
if($isNew){
// Initialise the table with JUser.
$user = new JUser;
// Prepare the data for the user object.
$username = self::getCreatedUserName($data['type']);
$data['username'] = !empty($data['username']) ? $data['username'] : $username;
$data['password'] = $data['password1'];
$useractivation = $params->get('useractivation');
// Check if the user needs to activate their account.
if (($useractivation == 1) || ($useractivation == 2)) {
$data['activation'] = JApplication::getHash(JUserHelper::genRandomPassword());
$data['block'] = 1;
}
}else{
$user = JFactory::getUser($data['uid']);
$data['password'] = $data['password1'];
}
$membership = DraTransportHelperArrays::membershipCFG();
$membership = $membership[$data['membership']];
if($data['membership'] == 4)
$data['groups'] = array($params->get('new_usertype',2),$params->get($membership,2));
else
$data['groups'] = array($params->get($membership,2));
$data['name'] = $data['companyName'];
$user->setParam('trialPeriod',$data['trialPeriod']);
// Bind the data.
if (!$user->bind($data)) {
$this->setError(JText::sprintf('COM_USERS_REGISTRATION_BIND_FAILED', $user->getError()));
return false;
}
// Load the users plugin group.
JPluginHelper::importPlugin('user');
// Store the data.
if (!$user->save()) {
$app->enqueuemessage($user->getError());
$this->setError(JText::sprintf('COM_USERS_REGISTRATION_SAVE_FAILED', $user->getError()));
return false;
}
this piece of code is for storing the data releated with the users table.
Turns out this was the fact that Joomla stores the JUser instance in the session that caused the problem.
When changing a user's parameters from the back-end, the changes are not reflected in that user's session, until she logs out and back in again.
We could not find an easy option to modify anther user's active session, so we resorted to the use of a plugin that refreshes the JUser instance in the logged-in users' session, something like the following:
$user = JFactory::getUser();
$session = JFactory::getSession();
if(!$user->guest) {
$session->set('user', new JUser($user->id));
}

I have my 'PatientCase' model with a hasOne relationship to my 'PatientCaseOrder' model. (This table simply stored the patientCase id along with an integer position)
I am using an ajax function to update the position fields in 'PatientCaseOrder' using the function below in my PatientCase controller
public function update_position(){
Configure::write('debug', 0);
$this->autoRender = false;
$this->loadModel('PatientCaseOrder');
$list = $_POST['list'];
$errs = false;
if($list){
foreach($list as $position){
$id = $position[0];
$pos = $position[1];
$this->PatientCase->id = $id;
if(! $this->PatientCase->PatientCaseOrder->saveField('position', $pos))
$errs = true;
}
}
echo json_encode ($errs);
}
I am passing to it an array containing the PatientCaseId and position.
The code produces a 500 server error, where am i going wrong, or am i taking the wrong approach to this?
NOTE: I previously had the position field in the PatientCase model, and this line of code worked with the above segment of code
$this->PatientCase->saveField('position', $pos)
You need to change your controller function for better debugging:
change to Configure::write('debug', 2);
add $this->layout = 'ajax';
and change : if(! $this->PatientCase->PatientCaseOrder->saveField('position', $pos))
$errs = true;
to:
pr($this->PatientCase->PatientCaseOrder->saveField('position', $pos)); die;
and then in your ajax function log the callback
console.log(returned_data);
and check for errors.
In drupal 6 i used to do something like this:
<?php
/*
* CLASS Example
*/
class example {
var $id = NULL;
var $title;
var $body;
.....
// Save
function save() {
$primary_key = ($this->id == NULL ? NULL : 'id');
if (drupal_write_record('mytabble', $this, $primary_key)) {
return TRUE;
} else {
return FALSE;
}
}
}
?>
This worked quite well. But in Drupal 7, the drupal_write_record only takes an array and no longer the object $this. The new db_merge also only takes an array.
Since i want to save the properties of my object to the database, the above code was very handy and generic for all kinds of classes.
Is there an alternative way to write an object to database, or a method to place objectproperties into a an array?
Any help will be appreciated!
Robert
drupal_write_record does take an object or an array. Guess your problem is caused somewhere else.
drupal_write_record($table, &$record, $primary_keys = array())
$record: An object or array representing the record to write, passed in by reference. If inserting a new record, values not provided in $record will be populated in $record and in the database with the default values from the schema, as well as a single serial (auto-increment) field (if present). If updating an existing record, only provided values are updated in the database, and $record is not modified.
More info on drupal_write_record for D7.
I am fairly new to cakephp but I have a question relating to urls and parameters. I would like to be able to have a url that looks like a standard url e.g:
http://www.mysite.com/controller/myaction?arg=value&arg2=val
I would like that url to map to an action in my controller as follows:
function myaction($arg = null, $arg2 = null)
{
// do work
}
I realize that cakephp has routing as described here, however, honestly this seems over engineered and results in a url string that is nonstandard.
In my current situation the url is being generated and invoked by an external (billing) system that knows nothing about cake and doesn't support the cake url format.
You can have your URL in any form. It's just CakePHP allows you to retrieve the variable passed through GET from the variable $this->params['url']
function myaction()
{
if(isset($this->params['url']['arg']))
$arg = $this->params['url']['arg'];
if(isset($this->params['url']['arg2']))
$arg2 = $this->params['url']['arg2'];
}
Solution in AppController for CakePHP 2.x
class AppController extends Controller {
....
/***
* Recupera los Named envias por URL
* si es null $key emtraga el array completo de named
*
* #param String $key
*
* #return mixed
*/
protected function getNamed($key=null){
// Is null..?
if(is_string($key)==true){
// get key in array
return Hash::get($this->request->param('named'), $key);
}else{
// all key in array
return $this->request->param('named');
}
}
...
}
I have a similar problem. Not because I have an external system, but because I don't like to put all parameters into the URL-path. In my example, I have some search queries that are assembled and passed to the controller. IMHO, these queries should be GET parameters and not part of the URL-path.
One advantage of using GET parameters is that the order of the given parameters is not important, in contrast to passing params via the URL path.
To solve this problem in a generic way, I'm replacing all method arguments with the value of the GET-param, if one with the same name is given:
class MyController extends AppController
{
function test($var1 = null, $var2 = "content2")
{
foreach (get_defined_vars() as $key => $value) {
if (isset($this->params['url'][$key])) {
$getvalue = $this->params['url'][$key];
$$key = $getvalue;
CakeLog::write("debug", "Setting:$key to $getvalue");
}
}
CakeLog::write("debug", print_r(get_defined_vars(), true));
}
}
Now I can access this controller method and pass parameters via GET like this:
http://myapp/mycontroller/test?var1=foo&var2=bar
