Constants

TYPE_CORE  = 'core'
TYPE_CORE_MODULE  = 'core_module'
TYPE_MODULE  = 'module'

Properties

$localeCodes  : array<string|int, mixed>
List of locale codes ordered by translation fallback order per Cx instance
$nestingCount  : int
Counts the nesting level of __call()
$stringRepresentationBlank  : bool
Whether blank string representations are valid
$stringRepresentationFields  : array<string|int, mixed>
List of fields that should be available in the string representation
$stringRepresentationFormat  : string
Sprintf format for the string representation
$validators  : array<string|int, mixed>
Initialize this array as follows: array( 'columName' => Zend_Validate )
$virtual  : bool
Defines if an entity is virtual and therefore not persistable.
$id  : int
Unique ID
$name  : string
Component name
$type  : enum
Component type

Methods

__call()  : mixed
Route methods like getName(), getType(), getDirectory(), etc.
__get()  : mixed
This is an ugly solution to allow $this->cx to be available in all entity classes Since the entity's constructor is not called when an entity is loaded from DB this cannot be assigned there.

Returns this entity's identifying value
getBaseNamespaceForType()  : string
Returns the namespace for a component type
getComponentController()  : SystemComponent
Returns the component controller for this component
getDirectory()  : string
Returns the absolute path to this component's location in the file system
getEntityClasses()  : array<string|int, mixed>
Returns a list of entity classes for this component
getId()  : int
Get id
getKeyAsString()  : string
Returns this entity's key
getName()  : string
Get name
getNamespace()  : string
Returns the base namespace for this component
getPathForType()  : string
Returns the type folder (relative to document root)
getTranslatedFieldValue()  : mixed
Returns the value of a translatable field using fallback mechanisms
getType()  : enum
Get type
initializeValidators()  : mixed
Set $this->validators
isActive()  : bool
Checks if the component is active and in the list of legal components (license)
isVirtual()  : bool
Returns the virtuality of the entity
setName()  : mixed
Set name
setType()  : mixed
Set type
setVirtual()  : mixed
Set the virtuality of the entity
validate()  : mixed
getFallbackLocaleCodes()  : array<string|int, mixed>
Returns a list of all locale codes ordered by fallback order
getStringRepresentationBlank()  : bool
Whether blank string representations are valid
getStringRepresentationFields()  : array<string|int, mixed>
Returns a list of fields available in the string representation
getStringRepresentationFormat()  : string
Returns the sprintf() format for the string representation

Constants

Properties

$localeCodes

List of locale codes ordered by translation fallback order per Cx instance

protected static array<string|int, mixed> $localeCodes = array()

Array in the form: array(<instanceId> => array(<localeCode>, ...))

Tags
see
getFallbackLocaleCodes()

$nestingCount

Counts the nesting level of __call()

protected static int $nestingCount = 0

$stringRepresentationBlank

Whether blank string representations are valid

protected bool $stringRepresentationBlank = false

Whether blank string representations are valid

Tags
see
getStringRepresentationBlank()

$stringRepresentationFields

List of fields that should be available in the string representation

protected array<string|int, mixed> $stringRepresentationFields = array()

List of field names

Tags
see
getStringRepresentationFields()

$stringRepresentationFormat

Sprintf format for the string representation

protected string $stringRepresentationFormat = ''

Sprintf format string

Tags
see
getStringRepresentationFormat()

$validators

Initialize this array as follows: array( 'columName' => Zend_Validate )

protected array<string|int, mixed> $validators = array()

$virtual

Defines if an entity is virtual and therefore not persistable.

protected bool $virtual = false

Defaults to FALSE - not virtual.

Methods

__call()

Route methods like getName(), getType(), getDirectory(), etc.

public __call(string $methodName, array<string|int, mixed> $arguments) : mixed
Parameters
$methodName : string

Name of method to call

$arguments : array<string|int, mixed>

List of arguments for the method to call

Tags
throws
Exception

If __call() nesting level reaches 20

Attributes
#[ReturnTypeWillChange]
Return values
mixed

Return value of the method to call

__get()

This is an ugly solution to allow $this->cx to be available in all entity classes Since the entity's constructor is not called when an entity is loaded from DB this cannot be assigned there.

public __get(mixed $name) : mixed
Parameters
$name : mixed
Attributes
#[ReturnTypeWillChange]

__toString()

Returns this entity's identifying value

public __toString() : string

By default this returns the same as getKeyAsString(), but this method might get overridden by subclasses.

Return values
string

Identifying value for this entity

getBaseNamespaceForType()

Returns the namespace for a component type

public static getBaseNamespaceForType(string $type) : string
Parameters
$type : string

Component type name

Tags
throws
SystemComponentException
Return values
string

Namespace

getDirectory()

Returns the absolute path to this component's location in the file system

public getDirectory([bool $allowCustomizing = true ][, bool $relative = false ]) : string
Parameters
$allowCustomizing : bool = true

(optional) Set to false if you want to ignore customizings

$relative : bool = false

(optional) If set to true, the path relative to Cloudrexx main dir is returned, default false

Return values
string

Path for this component

getEntityClasses()

Returns a list of entity classes for this component

public getEntityClasses() : array<string|int, mixed>
Return values
array<string|int, mixed>

List of class names

getKeyAsString()

Returns this entity's key

public final getKeyAsString([string $separator = '/' ]) : string

If this entity has a composite key, the fields are separated by $separator.

Parameters
$separator : string = '/'

(optional) Separator for composite key fields, default "/"

Return values
string

Entity key as string

getNamespace()

Returns the base namespace for this component

public getNamespace() : string

string

Namespace

getPathForType()

Returns the type folder (relative to document root)

public static getPathForType(string $type) : string
Parameters
$type : string

Component type name

Tags
throws
SystemComponentException
Return values
string

Component type folder relative to document root

getTranslatedFieldValue()

Returns the value of a translatable field using fallback mechanisms

public getTranslatedFieldValue(string $fieldName) : mixed

If the field is not translatable its value is returned anyway. Tries to return the value in the following locales (if non-empty):

  • Current locale
  • Default locale
  • All other locales
Parameters
$fieldName : string

Name of a translatable field

initializeValidators()

Set $this->validators

public initializeValidators() : mixed

Validators can be found in lib/FRAMEWORK/Validator.class.php These will be executed if validate() is called

isActive()

Checks if the component is active and in the list of legal components (license)

public isActive() : bool
Return values
bool

True if the component is active and legal, false otherwise

isVirtual()

Returns the virtuality of the entity

public isVirtual() : bool
Return values
bool

TRUE if the entity is virtual, otherwise FALSE

setVirtual()

Set the virtuality of the entity

public setVirtual(bool $virtual) : mixed
Parameters
$virtual : bool

TRUE to set the entity as virtual or otherwise to FALSE

getFallbackLocaleCodes()

Returns a list of all locale codes ordered by fallback order

protected getFallbackLocaleCodes() : array<string|int, mixed>
  • First entry is the current locale
  • Second entry is the default locale (if different from current, it's omitted otherwise)
  • Then all other locales follow (in no particular order)
Tags
todo

Order the array by the fallback order (same as in ContentManager)
