coding fetch in PHP

Thursday 21 August 2008 11:35:24 am

In php you should really use the api, most of the objects that you use in templates (nodes, objects, classes, object attributes..) have a php class in kernel/classes/.
And most of those classes have fetch functions.

Your template example would look like this in php:

$nodes = eZContentObjectTreeNode::subTreeByNodeID(array(
    'ClassFilterType' => 'include',
    'ClassFilterArray' => array( 'video_flash_mm' ),
    'Depth' => 1,
    'DepthOperator' => 'eq'
    ), 365);

Or if you want to sort by the parent node:

$node  = eZContentObjectTreeNode::fetch( 365 );
$nodes = $node->subTree(array(
    'ClassFilterType' => 'include',
    'ClassFilterArray' => array( 'video_flash_mm' ),
    'Depth' => 1,
    'DepthOperator' => 'eq',
    'SortBy' => $node->sortArray() 
    ));

Note: If you plan to use most of the attributes, then set the LoadDataMap parameter to true.
Note2: For counts there usually similar functions that takes the same parameters, in the above case it would be ::subTreeCountByNodeID() and ->subTreeCount()

Hello,

is $dm['etat_ezstring'] a datamap ?
Probably, you should use $dm['etat_ezstring']->content() instead.
