Piotrek Karaś	Friday 06 June 2008 12:39:30 pm Hello there, Is there an inexpensive method of converting class IDs to identifiers and identifiers to IDs? There seems to be something in the cache dir, that looks like this: <?php $identifier_hash = array( "folder" => "1", "user_group" => "3", "user" => "4", "image" => "5", "link" => "11", "file" => "12", "comment" => "13", "common_ini_settings" => "14", "template_look" => "15" ... ); ?> And the only converting method using this is eZContentObjectTreeNode::classIDByIdentifier()... Couldn't spot the opposite... Shouldn't this be held somewhere in the session, so that conversion for any purposes doesn't require file system or db access? -- Company: mediaSELF Sp. z o.o., http://www.mediaself.pl eZ references: http://ez.no/partners/worldwide_partners/mediaself eZ certified developer: http://ez.no/certification/verify/272585 eZ blog: http://ez.ryba.eu

Piotrek Karaś	Saturday 07 June 2008 10:25:25 pm Hi Kristof, I've just added an enhancement request: http://issues.ez.no/IssueView.php?Id=13157& As far as performance gain, you might be right, but think of a situation, where I need that for ten independent extensions, because each one makes use of such conversion. It would be much better to have a uniform tool for that to rely on.

Hello there,

Is there an inexpensive method of converting class IDs to identifiers and identifiers to IDs?
There seems to be something in the cache dir, that looks like this:

<?php
$identifier_hash = array( "folder" => "1",
                          "user_group" => "3",
                          "user" => "4",
                          "image" => "5",
                          "link" => "11",
                          "file" => "12",
                          "comment" => "13",
                          "common_ini_settings" => "14",
                          "template_look" => "15"
                          ... );
?>

And the only converting method using this is eZContentObjectTreeNode::classIDByIdentifier()... Couldn't spot the opposite...

Shouldn't this be held somewhere in the session, so that conversion for any purposes doesn't require file system or db access?

Hi Piotrek

The way of accessing data from this cache will be more streamlined in 4.1. See http://issues.ez.no/13068 and related commits in svn.

It might be a good idea to have this in the session, yes, although I guess the performance gain will be only small. Can you post an enhancement request for it in the issue tracker please?

Hi Kristof,

I've just added an enhancement request:
http://issues.ez.no/IssueView.php?Id=13157&

As far as performance gain, you might be right, but think of a situation, where I need that for ten independent extensions, because each one makes use of such conversion. It would be much better to have a uniform tool for that to rely on.

Thanks,
Piotrek
