Hey guys,
I've been using Grocery Crud to develop a simple local application that allows users to register themselves and like bands and rate them and select people they know that are also registered in the application.
Entities:
Person(person_id,person_URL, fullname, hometown)
Band(band_id,band_URL,band_name,country,genre)
Relationships:
Likes(person_id,band_id,rate)
Knows(person_id,known_person_id)
My questions are:
1) I want to return a table of person and known person like below:
KNOWS person_id | fullname | known_person_id | known_fullname
but I can't use *set_relation_n_n* function 'cause the relationship is (Person -> Likes -> Person), so it's giving me error. The other solution I came up with is making a custom table making a query to return the values I want and show it in the table (code below). The custom table returned is correct but when I render it to my Grocery Crud table, I need to specify $crud->columns('person_id', 'fullname', 'known_person_id', 'fullname'), and it cannot differentiate the fullname of the person and the fullname of the known person. How would I make it in order to be able to show the table that way?
2) I have the same issue in another table but could manage that using the function *set_relation_n_n* 'cause it's a relationship (Person -> Likes -> Band), so since it's 2 different entities it didn't return me a error. The problem is that the query (code below) returns me the whole table and I want only 25 records per page. When I try to use "LIMIT 25" in the query, it returns me ONLY 25 records and the "next page" button doesn't work. Any solutions?
Below, all the information:
CODE for question 1:
function knows_management()
{
$crud = new grocery_CRUD();
$crud->set_model('model_socialnetwork');
$crud->set_table('knows');
$crud->set_subject('Known');
$crud->basic_model->set_query_str('SELECT tb1.person_id, tb1.fullname, tb1.known_person_id, person.fullname FROM (SELECT person.person_id, person.fullname, knows.known_person_id FROM person INNER JOIN knows ON person.person_id = knows.person_id) tb1 INNER JOIN person ON tb1.known_person_id = person.person_id');<br>
$crud->columns('person_id','fullname','known_person_id','fullname');
$output = $crud->render();
$this->_socialnetwork_output($output);
}
CODE for question 2:
function likes_management()
{
$crud = new grocery_CRUD();
$crud->set_model('model_socialnetwork');
$crud->set_table('likes');
$crud->set_subject('Like');
$crud->columns('person_id','fullname','band_id','band_name', 'rate');
$crud->basic_model->set_query_str('SELECT tb2.person_id, tb2.fullname, tb2.band_id, band.band_name, tb2.rate FROM(SELECT tb1.person_id, person.fullname, tb1.band_id, tb1.rate FROM(SELECT person.person_id, likes.band_id, likes.rate FROM person INNER JOIN likes ON person.person_id = likes.person_id) tb1 INNER JOIN person ON tb1.person_id = person.person_id) tb2 INNER JOIN band ON tb2.band_id = band.band_id');
$output = $crud->render();
$this->_socialnetwork_output($output);
}
