Cakephp 3: How to ignore beforefind for specific queries? - entity

Question

I am working on multilingual posts. I have added beforefind() in the PostsTable so I can list posts for current language
public function beforeFind(Event $event, Query $query) {
$query->where(['Posts.locale' => I18n::locale()]);
}
In order to allow users duplicate posts in different languages i wrote following function:
public function duplicate(){
$this->autoRender = false;
$post_id= $this->request->data['post_id'];
$post = $this->Posts
->findById($post_id)
->select(['website_id', 'category_id', 'locale', 'title', 'slug', 'body', 'image', 'thumb', 'meta_title', 'meta_description', 'other_meta_tags', 'status'])
->first()
->toArray();
foreach($this->request->data['site'] as $site) {
if($site['name'] == false) {
continue;
}
$data = array_merge($post, [
'website_id' => $site['website_id'],
'locale' => $site['locale'],
'status' => 'Draft',
'duplicate' => true
]);
$pageData = $this->Posts->newEntity($data);
if($this->Posts->save($pageData)) {
$this->Flash->success(__('Post have been created.'));;
} else{
$this->Flash->error(__('Post is not created.'));
}
}
return $this->redirect(['action' => 'edit', $post_id]);
}
In order to check if the posts are already duplicated. I am doing a check in 'edit' functino:
$languages = TableRegistry::get('Websites')->find('languages');
foreach($languages as $language)
{
$exists[] = $this->Posts
->findByTitleAndWebsiteId($post['title'], $language['website_id'])
->select(['locale', 'title', 'website_id'])
->first();
}
$this->set('exists',$exists);
but as the beforefind() is appending query to above query. I am not getting any results. Is there any way I can ignore beforefind() for only cerrtain queries. I tried using entity as below:
public function beforeFind(Event $event, Query $query) {
if(isset($entity->duplicate)) {
return true;
}
$query->where(['Posts.locale' => I18n::locale()]);
}
but no luck. Could anyone guide me? Thanks for reading.

Answer 1

There are various possible ways to handle this, one would be to make use of Query::applyOptions() to set an option that you can check in your callback
$query->applyOptions(['injectLocale' => false])
public function beforeFind(Event $event, Query $query, ArrayObject $options)
{
if(!isset($options['injectLocale']) || $options['injectLocale'] !== false) {
$query->where(['Posts.locale' => I18n::locale()]);
}
}
Warning: The $options argument is currently passed as an array, while it should be an instance of ArrayObject (#5621)

Callback methods can be ignored using this:
$this->Model->find('all', array(
'conditions' => array(...),
'order' => array(...),
'callbacks' => false
));
