Ok, so this is really confusing me now, because I had this working a while back and something has changed which has caused my calculated properties to not work.
I have a "page" controller that does a findAll() on the "link" model. This works great, except for when I try to include a calculated property (which used to work).
page.cfc (controller)
<cfset linkListHottest = model("link").findAll(
select="
links.linkID,
linkTitle,
linkPoints,
linkAuthority,
linkCreated,
<!--- Here I specifiy the 'property' names from the model --->
linkUpVoteCount,
linkDownVoteCount,
linkCommentCount,
users.userID,
userName,
categories.categoryID,
categoryTitle,
categoryToken",
include="user,category",
order="linkPoints DESC",
handle="linkListHottestPaging",
page=params.page,
perPage=5
) />
link.cfc (model)
<cffunction name="init">
<cfset table("links") />
<!--- These three lines aren't populating my queries on the link model --->
<cfset property(name="linkUpVoteCount", sql="(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM votes WHERE votes.linkID = links.linkID AND voteType = 1)") />
<cfset property(name="linkDownVoteCount", sql="(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM votes WHERE votes.linkID = links.linkID AND voteType = 0)") />
<cfset property(name="linkCommentCount", sql="(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM comments WHERE comments.linkID = links.linkID AND commentRemoved = 0)") />
<cfset belongsTo(name="user", modelName="user", joinType="outer", foreignKey="userID") />
<cfset belongsTo(name="category", modelName="category", joinType="outer", foreignKey="categoryID") />
<cfset hasMany(name="vote", modelName="vote", joinType="outer", foreignKey="linkID") />
<cfset hasMany(name="comment", modelName="comment", joinType="outer", foreignKey="linkID") />
<cfset validatesPresenceOf(property='linkTitle') />
<cfset validatesPresenceOf(property='linkURL') />
<cfset validate(property='linkURL', method='isValidURL') />
<cfset validate(property='linkURL', method="validateUniqueUrl", when="onCreate") />
</cffunction>
home.cfm (view)
#linkListHottest.linkUpVoteCount#
I get the following error:
Unknown column 'linkUpVoteCount' in 'field list'
Ok, I thought, let's remove the column names from the SELECT in the findAll() and see if that solves it. Nope:
column [LINKUPVOTECOUNT] not found in query, columns are [linkID,linkTitle,linkPoints,linkAuthority,linkCreated,userID,userName,categoryID,categoryTitle,categoryToken]
So it seems like a catch 22 situation. It's almost as if my "link" model is ignoring the properties set there entirely.
I would appreciate any feedback on where I'm going wrong (I'm sure it's me!).
Many thanks, Michael.
Sounds like this is a bug with Wheels. I suggest filing an issue.
