How to pass a variable to a model in Yii2? - yii

I have created a beforeSave() method in one of my models to update field client_id with the client id of the requesting user ($user->client_id). However the model doesn't know who the current user is.
I could use Yii::$app->user->id but I think this is bad practice and think there must be a better way. Of course I could pass the client_id as a hidden field in the form but this would be a security issue.
Any ideas?

You could use BlameableBehavior of Yii2... client_id ..configure it as createdByAttribute or updatedByAttribute, your choice.

Inputs for searching (form:select)

Is it possible to use Search like this in order to refer a specific {name} provided by an input? I want to create an input form like: <form:select items="${cars}" path="car" itemLabel="type" itemValue="id"/>. This is my controller mapping: #GetMapping("/searchby/{name}"). Thanks!
it should be possible but not recommended, from what i know using url parameters (domain.com/page?value=theValue) is better

How can we make an Item in socialengine?

I know how to get an item of the particular table. Like for user we can have
$userItem = Engine_Api::_()->getItem("user", $userId);
or for a custom table
$customItem = Engine_Api::_()->getItem("custom", $customeId);
I want to know the code or method how can I make my $customItem to work the same way as $userItem works for users table. So that I can get data or manipulate the data of custom table
Thanks for your help. :-)
You can achieve that by creating a model. Check how it's done in /application/modules/User/Model. There is User.php file that declares User_Model_User and methods available for User such as getTitle, get Href etc.
You may use similar approach for your custom item. You will also need to create a file similar to /application/modules/User/Model/DbTable/User.php to declare table for your custom items.

Which way is it better to call ORM methods in Odoo 7?

Let's say you have in your code an object of model 'account.invoice' and inside a method you want to update the partner. I noticed that you have two ways of calling the 'write' method on model 'res.partner'. You could either do :
invoice.partner_id.write({'name': 'Mister Test'})
OR
partner_obj = self.pool.get('res.partner')
partner_obj.write(cr, uid, invoice.partner_id.id, {'name': 'Mister Test'})
I always used the second way because it is the one that is always described in documentations. However, I discovered that the first way is also working and is shorter. Is it ok to do so ?
When object is browse record than I direct write browse record object.write({'field_name': value})
invoice.partner_id.write({'name': 'Mister Test'})
This line give error because partner_id is a many2one field so it's store integer number. So you can’t use this.
For this you must to browse that partner_id and than you may to write on partner object.
And second point, if you want write something in invoice object than you can use this for example invoice.write({'field_name': value}) this will work.
Hope this make a sense.

Grails trouble saving object id

id is present in the params but does not save to the db. for example
[book.id:1, comments: good]
comments will save to db but book.id does not.
I need to figure out how to save params.book.id into the db column BOOK_ID that was created from the hasmany/belongsTo relationship.
By default value attribute of each element will be the result of a toString() call on each element. Setting it as optionKey allows the value to be a bean property of each element in the list.
Kindly change the select to
<g:form action="review">
<g:select name="book.id"
from="${item.Book.list()}"
value="${book?.id}"
/>
<g:textField name="bookreview" value="${params?.bookreview}" /><br>
kindly refer the below link
Grail example with optionkey
You have overwritten toString, therefore your books are always rendered by name and not id. If you remove your toString() method you will see the expected results.
If you want your select box work with the name, just add optionValue="name".
Well, it seems that I had misspelled a crucial parameter inside my domain. So the domain was expecting x and it was getting y. Thus the id was always null. It took me a while to spot it, and I was perplexed because I had previously successfully implemented ids in another project. Grails has some jira issues also that make one consider other possibilities, but this time it was my mistake.

Rails 3 Custom Validation against DB-Entries

I have currently a website which lets every user register, but I want to give out codes, so that only users with a special code can register. I already worked with validation, but I really need your help for doing this.
At first, I have my form which lets the user register and where the user can input the code.
Then I have the User Model, which should containt the validation checks:
validates :registration_codes, :presence => true, ??? => ???
I can get my reg_codes in any form, because I haven't created them yet. Maybe I will just update them manually and hardcode or maybe I will make a model. I don't know. So, what I just need is the validation check which should do something like this:
:registration_code should be code1 or code2 or code3
I have even tried to make a custom method, but I didn't find out how to forward the form input to my method.
Thanks for any help!
I wrote an custom method, which I call by:
validate :validate_regcode
And then I just search in the DB for the code and check if the result is empty:
def validate_regcode
regcode_feed = Code.where("regcode = ?", regcode)
if regcode_feed.empty?
errors.add(:regcode, "Ihr Registrierungscode ist leider ungültig.")
end
end
So, at all, it's really simple if you know the way to do it. Maybe there's something even simpler, but I like my way :)
