Pascal Specht	Thursday 30 August 2007 7:26:29 am Hi all, I need to access a Matrix which I defined in the backend in the Common INI Settings class. I can do it this way: $chosenNode = eZContentObject::fetch( 52 ) ; $dataMap = $chosenNode->dataMap(); $matrix=$dataMap['my_matrix']->content(); but obviously, I have hardcoded the instance ID of the Common INI Settings class, and I feel bad doing this kind of things. What would be a better way of getting to this class, without hard wiring the ID? Is it safe to assume this will be 52 in the feature? Thanks in advance for your help, -Pascal
André R.	Thursday 30 August 2007 8:06:37 am No, the id is actually 54 on ezwebin sites. Try doing something like this: $classID = eZContentObjectTreeNode::classIDByIdentifier( 'template_look' ); $obj = eZContentObject::fetchFilteredList( array( 'contentclass_id' => $classID ), 0, 1 ); $dataMap = $obj->dataMap(); $matrix = $dataMap['my_matrix']->content(); PS: The first line is cached by ez publish, so normally no database lookup. eZ Online Editor 5: http://projects.ez.no/ezoe \|\| eZJSCore (Ajax): http://projects.ez.no/ezjscore \|\| eZ Publish EE http://ez.no/eZPublish/eZ-Publish-Enterprise-Subscription @: http://twitter.com/andrerom
Pascal Specht	Thursday 30 August 2007 8:34:09 am Hi André, Thank you very much. That was indeed what I was looking for! $classID = eZContentObjectTreeNode::classIDByIdentifier( 'common_ini_settings' ); $chosenNodeList = eZContentObject::fetchFilteredList( array( 'contentclass_id' => $classID ), 0, 1 ); $chosenNode = $chosenNodeList[0]; -Pascal
André R.	Thursday 30 August 2007 11:32:10 am Ahh, forgot that it's a array, my bad ;) But its a array of content objects, not nodes. $classID = eZContentObjectTreeNode::classIDByIdentifier( 'common_ini_settings' ); $chosenObjectList = eZContentObject::fetchFilteredList( array( 'contentclass_id' => $classID ), 0, 1 ); $chosenObject = $chosenObjectList[0]; Nodes are what you get when use the eZContentObjectTreeNode fetch functions. Or fetching it from the object like this: $chosenMainNode = $chosenObject->attribute('main_node'); eZ Online Editor 5: http://projects.ez.no/ezoe \|\| eZJSCore (Ajax): http://projects.ez.no/ezjscore \|\| eZ Publish EE http://ez.no/eZPublish/eZ-Publish-Enterprise-Subscription @: http://twitter.com/andrerom
