How to link custom tables to a module and get those data from HELPER class.
Mage::getHelper('mymodule/table1')->getCollection()
Please send example.
Your module naming convention is quite confusing - you're calling the module itself helper? For the purpose of explaining, I'm choosing to call your module myname_mymodule
In your module ./app/code/community/MyName/MyModule/etc/config.xml, within the <global> tags
<helpers>
<mymodule>
<class>MyName_MyModule_Helper</class>
</mymodule>
</helpers>
Then create the file ./app/code/community/MyName/MyModule/Helper/Data.php
<?php
class MyName_MyModule_Helper_Data extends Mage_Core_Helper_Abstract{
}
Then to call that module, you would use
$helper = Mage::helper('mymodule');

I'm new in Flash programming.
I'm trying to rebuild my app structure with external classes.
In this process, I copied and pasted a block of my code that contains a for loop in an external class but I've got an error:
Impossibile to use the "this" keyword in static methods.
How can I convert my code to make it working?
Thanks in advance!
Convert your code by not using this inside your static function
I am a fresh man, using play2.0 framework. Now I have a trouble to use xxx.scala.html. In Eclipse I added a xxx.scala.html, but I cannot use "xxx.render()" function to render my html.
Now I create a form1.scala.html in view package. I want to render this html in controller like this "return ok(form1.render());". But it cannot. Why I cannot?
I have checked Play-Sample(example: 'form' application). In this application controller class, he used form1.scala.html, form2.scala.html, summary.scala.html and so on defend by himself.It's Ok. But I cannot use like this.
views is a regular Scala/Java package, but when the template compiler runs it adds a 'html' package under that which it places the compiled templates in. So the source app/views/myTemplate.scala.html results in the function views.html.myTemplate
The view templates are functions themselves, not classes or objects, the filename becomes the function name, there is no render() method.
So if you have the file app/views/myTemplate.scala.html you will be able to use it like this:
Ok(views.html.myTemplate())
or
import views.html.myTemplate
Ok(mytemplate())
I've created a library class file in my CakePHP 2.0 app. It's a single PHP class called emailManager Which exists within a folder emailManager within CakePHP's libaray folder. I would love to know what is the simplest way to reference the database from this library class.
I would love to be able to do something like $this->AppModel->query("SELECT * FROM some_table_in_my_db"), that way I do not have to track DB configurations in separate places, but I'm not sure how to achieve this.
Also, I feel it is important to mention that the tables I am working with do not adhere to CakePHP table naming convention. They predate our use of CakePHP and so I cannot change my tables to fit CakePHP's model format. this is why I want generic database access via something like query
EDIT: I have constructed a temporary solution, but I know a better one is possible.
I have a model in my cake app called MySimpleConstuct and then in the library file I include the MySimpleConstruct Model as followed:
// import this model
$this->GivenModel = ClassRegistry::init('MySimpleConstruct');
$this->GivenModel = new MySimpleConstruct();
// Then it is possible to do as followed:
$table_data = $this->GivenModel->query('SELECT * FROM like_some_table_dude' WHERE 1);
This is not ideal so I still searching for a better solution.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
#John Galt, I suppose it's not an exact duplicate but it is very similar and the resolution does appear to apply to your situation very directly.
The other technique you could consider using would be to instantiate the Library in the controller and than give it a reference of the model.
class TestController extends AppController {
function index(){
App::uses('TheLibrary', 'Lib');
$obj = new TheLibrary();
$obj->GivenModel = &$this->GivenModel;
}
}
-EDIT-
And then within the library you've written do something like this.
class TheLibrary {
var $GivenModel = null;
function some_query(){
return $this->GivenModel->query('SELECT * FROM like_some_table_dude WHERE 1');
}
}
The first code snippet is of the Controller instantiating your library and then giving the library a reference to the Model as the property GivenModel. The "&" symbol makes the assignment a reference (see How does the '&' symbol in PHP affect the outcome?). The second code snippet is of a sample of how the library would use that property.
I do understand that you are trying to use a model from the library and that is what the solution you have in your edit and my proposed solution both do. However I will note again that this is not proper MVC convention and you should reconsider how you are using Libraries.
I'm trying to create and instance of an object by reference the class object of the class using
getDefinitionByName()
the problem is that if I don't create at least one instance of the class before when try to use getDefinitionByName() it say
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable XXXXXX is not defined.
how can I include the class in the binary without using and instance first??, also I had tried to juts leave in the import but still don't include the class, it could be a compiler param I can pass??
I'm using Flex SDK 4.6 thanks!!!!!
As described in the documentation:
-includes class Links one or more classes to the resulting application SWF file, whether or not those classes are required at compile time
There is a bunch of compiler options which allow you to include classes, but they aren't very scalable / require some manual labour. For example, there's -includes option, but you must know what symbols to include. There's -include-libraries, but again, you'd have to compile a SWC library with the classes you need. -include-namespace - you'd need to write the namespace definition, listing all classes that you want to include.
Since I imagine that the task in the end will get automated one way or another, it would make more sense to just generate an AS file of the following format:
package your.app {
import fully.qualified.class.Name;Name; // it is enough to just mention it
. . .
}
And then include only this this class.
Well I think I found the solution, just add to the compiler the argument -includes like thised
-includes com.example.Myclass
that will include the class object in the binary even though u haven't used and after tried to load it with getDefinitionByName()
hopes this help to someone else, also here is a complete list of arguments for the compiler

im using Adobe® Flash® Builder™ 4.6,the problem also exist in previous versions.
for some reason ,i am using
cls = applicationDomain.getDefinition(name) as Class;
to get the object's constructor and then create the instance of my modules class.thus make compile ignore my module classes ,because they are not related from my main class.how to force else classes also compiled into my swf or swc file? i didn't find where i can adjust my compile option.
by now i use this way to solve my problem,at the very beginning of the program entry.
if(1+1==3){
//never be run but do make classes merge into swf files.
new MyModule();
}
i have hundreds of modules like this one,i do hope i can find a way to solve this problem permanently
You can try with this
package
{
public class IncludeClasses
{
import com.abc.db.Database;Database;
import com.abc.logs.RemoteLogTarget; RemoteLogTarget;
import com.abc.logs.LocalLogTarget; LocalLogTarget;
import com.abc.exception.GlobalExceptionHandler; GlobalExceptionHandler;
import com.abc.utils.NetConnectionMonitor;NetConnectionMonitor;
}
}
You need to use the class to get it to compile in the swf.
Not the best method but
private var someVar:someClass;
Using the "new" keyword will cause the run-time to allocate memory for the object so you don't want to use that.
This whole loading modules and compiling classes has a code smell to it.
You would be better off having your classes in the modules implement an interface.
You need at least one strict reference to your class to appear within the project. I use a static variable of type Array to stuff all of the classes I need, and never really reference that array, if I can.
private static var dummy:Array=[OneClass, AnotherClass, Class01, Etc];
You can also do this by setting your compiler flag.
About the application compiler options
See:
include-libraries library [...]
Include only classes that are inheritance dependencies of classes that
are included with the include-classes compiler option.
The default value is false.
This is an advanced option. You might use this compiler option if you
are creating a custom RSL and want to externalize as many classes as
possible. For example:
compc -include-classes mx.collections.ListCollectionView
-include-inheritance-dependencies-only=true
-source-path . -output lcv2 -directory
