Thank you received: 53

So one of my views (film) has an FK select table which pulls in data from another table (mediafiles) and I see this in the prepareQuery function

$this->orm->relation('mediafiles', array(
                    'select' => 'filename'
                ));

However this field needs to be filtered. I need this dropdown to ONLY show values from mediafiles where

associated_film IS NULL
created_by = logged in user

Ideally, this field will pull in data from context

mediafiles.choosemedia

in the mediafiles model which has the correct data, but it just seems to pull from the all context

I have tried adding filters, contexts, nothing works

Can someone put my out my ORM misery please

For starters it's just so easy to design an app in a way that I'm used to i.e. database first then views followed by customization. The fork system is pure brilliance from a developer standpoint as I can override things and still add and update my projects with minimal effort! Truly amazing to be able to build components in Joomla using incremental refinement without having to do everything by hand. Thanks for the great tool! I am so much more productive now than ever and I can't imagine building components any other way!!!!
