I tried to search, but have not succeeded in this…
The problem is as follows: I have several components, that are set by user in backend, so I don’t know in advance, how many tables in db there will be and how many models the application will need. Each table has a predefined schema (e.g. id, name, data), and table names are like “data{$component_id}”.
What is the best way for managing these tables? I tried to modify model’s tableName() method, adding setter for this and constructor for class, but… I also tried to search for dynamic migrations and dynamic models, but no luck there too…
I will be grateful for any ideas.
My non-working samples are below:
Extract from model class code:
protected static $table;
public function __construct($table)
{
self::$table = $table;
}
public static function tableName()
{
return self::$table;
}
public static function setTableName($table)
{
self::$table = $table;
}
Trying to call it:
public function actionIndex()
{
ContentData::setTableName('_data_test2');
$model=ContentData::find(1);
die(var_dump($model));
}
Actually, this user is not a particular person. I want to implement some kind of editing that is used in, for example, in 1C-Bitrix or NetCat. The idea is that if you have news - you create data block called "news", define several fields, some code to work with and go on. Later you need to implement a list of projects - you create data block called "projects" … etc.
I mean, the idea is exactly in creating as many tables/components, as user needs
One other suggestion is to avoid using active record in your particular case.
class Yourclass {
private $_table;
public function settable($tableFullName) {
$this->$_table=$tableFullName;
}
// Your functions with plain sql code follows
}
