phproberto / joomla-entity Goto Github PK

Currently we are using https://github.com/phproberto/joomla-common for some small stuff. I think it doesn't make sense to keep it separately because it doesn't have a real value by itself.

So let's merge it back here to enrich joomla-entity

Hi,

When I try to delete a Category, a wrong asset name is being generated ".category.0".

Please, check the following PR with an idea for a fix.

When extending joomla-entity you usually need to add it as a require-dev dependency. The issue with the joomla extension folder structure is that you lose the option to share it through packagist for testing purposes.

Let's keep this repo for the pure PHP library and create a joomla-entity-library for the joomla extension. That way we can also test there that extension is installed, etc.

Amazing stuff!!

I understand that the method to create instances is instance... and that's mainly because of Joomla's current practice.

To depart from the old practice, I'd love to have the verb to the action of object creation as create... it could be simply an alias.

Again, thank you @phproberto !

Integrate the jekyll template used for joomla-twig and other projects to ease navigation through documentation.

Hola Roberto!

I want to know if will be possible in the future to use this library using composer/packagist for standalone applications.

Regards

Right now we cannot serve pagination data because it does not support it. Ideally we want that after any search we can use getPagination to retrieve a pagination object

This is not really a bug but how User table works in joomla. You usually can do something like this to load a row based on some of its columns:

$table->load(['title' => 'My title', 'access' => 1]);

But joomla user table uses id in load:

$userTable->load(12);

It does not work like other tables. Suggested fix is to override loadFromData() method in user entity to perform a custom query based on tables behavior.

Hi Roberto, if been following you progress developing joomla-entity, joomla-common, joomla-component, joomla-module, over the last weeks, but would like some explanation so if you could write a blog post or have some practical instructions that would be nice, perhaps then i'm able to test.

greetings Ruud

This fails:

JLoader::import('joomla_entity.library')

because the awesome JLoader identifies a library as joomla if starts with joomla. We probably need to replace it with phproberto_joomla_entity so it uses the same structure than joomla-module package.

Allow that searches are cached based on the options received.
