Re: [fw-general] [need advices] An idea to build a KISS ORM system upon Zend_Db_Table

No, it's very much KISS (to use), and yes, it was done through inheritance.  It
looks something like this:

  class Table_dogs extends MyORM_Table {
    var $table = 'dogs';
    var $primary = 'DogID';

    function __construct() {
      parent::__construct();

      // if user is not 'super', only allow certain breeds
      global $user;
      if(!$user->isSuperUser()) {
        // JOIN breeds USING(DogID)
        $this->join('breeds')->using('DogID');

        // only allow the correct certain breeds:
        $this->where("breeds.BreedID IN({$user->breeds()})");
      }
    }
  }


I can't think of an easier way to add blanket rules which apply to an entire
project.

// ORM class for the table 'dogs'

Hi Peter.





Best regards,

Possibly, in *your* case, this could be a good decision. But, at least, it breaks the Single Responsibility Principle, and I'm quite sure that code responsible for ACL features will need to be duplicated every time you'd want to use those features. PS. I also think this discussion does not fall into "KISS ORM system upon Zend_Db_Table" thread.
