How to call attributes of a database record in a Shopware 5 form

I'm not familiar with Symfony or VueJS. I have an id of a table in a Shopware 5 form, how can I access the attributes of that record?
Do you use Shopware5 or Shopware6?
Shopware 5 uses Smarty in the storefront and ExtJS in Admin.
Shopware 6 is build with Twig and VueJs.
If you want to access data from the database I'd recommend doing this in PHP and use the Repository of the Entity.
If you need the data in a specific view you could use a subscriber (explained here).

How do I batch update my app database?

New to MVC and RoR and having a hard time grasping some of the concepts. One of them is batch updates to the database.
Lets say I have a set of data such as a list of students and their attributes like this
Student ID:1
Name: Alice
email:alice#alice.com
attribute: anything
attribute2: anything2
Student ID:2
Name: Kate
email:kate#kate.com
attribute: anything
attribute2: anything2
etc..
I've gotten the list from an API call.
I don't want them to be editable, nor do I want the attributes to be visible to the user.
Question is, how do I go about saving them into my database? It seems in the MVC way, each action requires a view? Will I be able to do it as a background process?
Thanks
Ryan
p/s- pointers to the right resources welcome too
So you'd just like to obtain records from an API and create models from them?
One option you may consider is writing rake tasks to get the data, and create the corresponding models (No rails answer is complete without a railscast link, so here's one It's old, but tells the basics)
Going this route, you could avoid making the data publicly editable, and just get it into the models/DB
You could use fixtures for this type of thing. Or, just use SQL to insert into your DB outside of Rails.

dynamics crm contact fullname for custom entities

Im using dynamics CRM 2011.
I took a look at the entity called contact.
This entity has a fullname primary field that is automatically populated.
This field is not visible to the crm user when creating a new contact.
I was wondering how do I achieve the same with custom entities?
Do I use workflow to update the primary key field and hide the field from the crm users?
Thanks
That would be one (and the easiest) way to do it, stick a workflow on the create and update of the relevant fields - though users would have to wait a couple of minutes to see the change.
Other options could be a plugin if you want the field to be updated synchronously, or you could use JavaScript to show the field before the record is saved.
You could use the a AutoNumber Plugin here, there is one on CodePlex (I havent used it myself): http://crm2011autonumber.codeplex.com/

Using filters for carraydataprovider yii

I am using CArrayDataProvider for CGridView in Yii, I am not able to use filters.
Can anyone tell me how to use filters. I don't have specific model, i'm fetching data from different tables.
CArrayDataProvider doesn't have filter property (as CActiveDataProvider) and you'll need to implement this feature yourself. Event if you are fetching data from different tables you can still use ActiveRecord with CActiveDataProvider and filters by related models
Take a look at this page for a good working example (Comment 5501): http://www.yiiframework.com/wiki/232/using-filters-with-cgridview-and-carraydataprovider/#c5501
I'm using this in one of my applications

What search engine to use?

I'm building a web application with the Symfony Framework. The purpose of this app is to book an hotel, which is part of several hotels.
The user have to choose in which hotel he wants to go, and by selecting the date, how many adults, child and rooms they want, the app have to display the available flat left in the hotel matching the criterias.
My question is : What is the best way to achieve that ? Basic SQL request or search engine like solr or zend lucene ?
That sounds like a basic SQL query to me.
