Hello guys,
I have been using the admin generator for quite some time and I just
stumbled upon a limitation. Sometimes when using the admin generator you
have your nice autogenerated Create/Edit form and everything looks fine
unless you want to overwrite the executeEdit() method. Let me give an
example.
I am using the sfPropelActAsNestedSetBehaviour and I have to make the
new element either the root or the child of another node. So I did this
in my executeEdit() method:
[php]
public function executeSave()
{
$this->store_catalog = $this->getStoreCatalogOrCreate();
if ($this->getRequest()->getMethod() == sfRequest::POST)
{
try
{
$this->store_catalog->makeRoot();
$this->store_catalog->save();
}
catch (Exception $e)
{
;
}
}
return parent::executeSave();
}
[/php]
But this caused my form to created two new records in the database: one
was the call of $this->store_catalog->save(); in my executeSave() and
the other record was created by the call to parent::executeSave(); The
long story short, the class method getStoreCatalogOrCreate() which is
auto generated does not account for cases where $this->store_catalog
already exists and always overwrites it thus creating a new record when
$this->store_catalog is already a valid StoreCatalog object. I do not
think I explained very well but this is as good as I can do it :)
This is that needs to be added to $this->getStoreCatalogOrCreate()
[php]
protected function getStoreCatalogOrCreate($id = 'id')
{
if ($this->store_catalog instanceof StoreCatalog) {
return $this->store_catalog;
}
// then the rest of the code it is currently generated
}
[/php]
I found a workaround to this problem by adding $_POST['id'] =
$this->store_catalog->getId(); right after my call to
$this->store_catalog->save() thus tricking the getStoreCatalogOrCreate()
method to think that the form is submitted in order to edit the record
and not to create it but I do not want to use such a workaround when I
think a permanent solution can be implemented.
Do I need to explain some more?
Regards,
Kiril
