Problem: I have a number of groups that each have members that belong to different groups. Each member has a title (role) in each group. I’m trying to list all the groups and display each member in the group and their title. I’m using reywood:publish-composite, and everything is working except I can’t get the title of each member to display. I think the problem is in the Template.groupMembers.helpers file
title: function() {
console.log(this.roleId); // this shows up in the console for each member
return Titles.findOne({titleId: this.roleId}); // but this doesn’t work
},
Collections:
groups {
"_id" : "xFSzAHBEps2dSKcWM",
"name" : "Generic Group",
"logo" : "generic-logo-hi.png"
}
members {
"_id" : "vyDtiaKKukZYQdFvs",
"groupId" : "xFSzAHBEps2dSKcWM",
"memberId" : "hRx8GBTyB5X8iQQ52",
"roleId" : "1"
}
Meteor.users {
"_id" : "hRx8GBTyB5X8iQQ52",
"profile" : {
"name" : "Bob Lorros"
},
}
titles {
"_id" : "bYsKpsyYtyKR8NYpm",
"titleId" : 1,
"title" : "Staff (non-voting)"
}
server/publications/publications.js
Meteor.publishComposite('groupMembers', {
find: function() {
return Groups.find({}, {
sort: {name: 1}
});
},
children: [
{
find: function() {
return Titles.find();
},
find: function(group) {
return Members.find({groupId: group._id});
},
children: [
{
find: function(member) {
return Meteor.users.find({_id: member.memberId});
}
},
]
},
]
});
client/templates/test/test.js
Template.groupMembers.helpers({
groupMembers: function() {
return Groups.find({}, {
sort: {name: 1}
});
},
members: function() {
return Members.find({groupId: this._id});
},
title: function() {
console.log(this.roleId); // this shows up in the console for each member
return Titles.findOne({titleId: this.roleId}); // but this doesn’t work
},
memberName: function() {
return Meteor.users.findOne(this.memberId);
},
});
client/templates/test/test.html
<template name="groupMembers">
<h4>Group - Members</h4>
{{#each groupMembers}}
<b>{{name}}</b><br>
{{#each members}}
{{memberName.profile.name}}
- title = {{title.title}}
<br>
{{/each}}

Output : This is the ouput
Looking at this from a completely different perspective, I actually think you could use alanning:roles to accomplish exactly what you're looking for. You can use the role as the 'title' in this case and the 'group' to replace your groups. Here's the documentation:
