ClassModelList::updateXref()

Deprecated

Please use the Relations instead.


This function is used to automate the links creation and destruction with simplified command.

After saving an item, if the POST query has sent more datas concerning relations with other tables, this function must be called.
The builder is for the moment not making reference to it, but the N:M tutorial is mentioning it.


N:M Use (many-to-many)

The links are database rows.
This function will insert or delete rows in database.

ClassModelList::updateXref N:M Cook

This following example is written in traveller (item) model:


N:1 Use

Foreign Keys are widly used in Cook, but what happen when we want to set up those links from the opposite side ?
This will be the use of N:1

The links are made with simple foreign keys in opposite table.
This function will only update or reset the concerned foreign keys values.

ClassModelList::updateXref N-1 Cook

This following example is written in country (item) model
“

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!!!!
