How it's possible to call MySQL function (like GeomFromText() or SELECT AS ) in the Lithium Framework's CRUD? Using database->read() is to inconvenient (I often change the database columns) and including the function in the variable's value only ends up being escaped. Have you tried putting the function in the fields option? For example, I do this: Model::first(array( 'fields' => 'max(id)' )); To clarify, in your query, try this (i have not tested this): Model::first(array( 'fields' => array('field1 as myField', 'GeomFromText("POINT(x y)") as geom') )); 来源： https://stackoverflow.com/questions

Is it possible to access more than one model deep in a relationship in Lithium? For example, I have a User model: class Users extends \lithium\data\Model { public $validates = array(); public $belongsTo = array("City"); } and I have a City model: class Cities extends \lithium\data\Model { public $validates = array(); public $belongsTo = array("State"); } and a State model, and so on. If I'm querying for a User, with something similar to Users::first() , is it possible to get all the relationships included with the results? I know I can do Users::first(array('with' => 'City')) but I'd like to

This is more or less a framework-centric version of a past Stack Overflow question , which is about how most introductory material on MVC applications tends to present a tight coupling between models, views, and controllers. For example, you'll have a User table that is modified by a User controller which in turn pushes filtered data to a User view. It's my impression that a lot of MVC frameworks tend to reflect this pattern as well. This is all fine and well for what it is, but it never really leads me to anything beyond building and displaying monotonous lists of things with an HTML form.

The controller redirect() method in Lithium does an actual HTTP redirect. But is there a method to simply forward a request to another controller/action without an HTTP redirect? For example, say I want to add an authentication layer and rather than redirecting the user to a "/auth/login" page, the login layout and template get rendered rather than the content for the page they requested. Then, when they submit the form and they authenticate, they're already on the page they requested. Zend framework has something similar with a _forward() method. Thanks! There's no method, mostly because you

Using Lithiums Model, how do you achieve getting a distinct result set of specific fields from a collection in MongoDB? mongo query: db.blogs.distinct('url'); There currently isn't a way to do this elegantly to my knowledge. You can get results by working with the Pecl MongoDB object directly. The command function allows you to make any call you want. $db = Connections::get('default'); $blogs = $db->connection->command(array('distinct'=>'blogs', 'key'=>'url')); 来源： https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5750561/distinct-selects-in-lithium

So lets say I have an Entities Model which is the base for a People and Organizations Model. I've three empty collections, one for Entities, one for People, one for Organization. Lets assume that the relationships between People and Organization will be ignored for the purpose of this question. Finally, I have a view, with fields for all three models. My question: Do I create a model class as a DTO (data transfer object) just to hold the data for all three models and save them to their respective collections in the controller? The DTO hierarchy would be like this: AddClientDTO Entity (with

I read through lithium\data\model\query, but I didn't see any examples of joins. michaeltwofish There are multiple ways to perform a join with Lithium. Lithium will handle joins for you where you have defined relationships ( examples in the manual ). You can add joins to an existing Query object using the join() method (see the API )). You can pass an array of Query objects to finders using the key joins . You can pass the SQL directly to a connection using Connection->read() . The other methods are reasonably well documented, so I'll give an example of passing Query objects to a finder.
