New Table + Globals
Hi,

I have created a table called "Relations" in my Link SQL database & I would like to be able to show different fields from this Table using Globals!

So this is what I did:

1. First I created a table called "Relations" using MYSQLMAN then I created a .def file for this table!

2. I added a global called "related_news" here is the code:

Code:
sub related_news {
my $tags = shift;
my $related_db = $DB->table('Relations');
my $id = $tags->{ID};
my $related_news = $related_db->get($id, 'HASH');
return $related_news;
}

3. Then I added <%related_news%> into my templates and it gives me the following error:

Code:
Error: Unable to load module: Links::Options. Reason:
Can't locate Links/Options.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /home/virtual/mysite/home/httpd/CGIFiles/headlines/admin /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005 .) at /home/virtual/mysite/home/httpd/CGIFiles/headlines/admin/GT/Template.pm line 657. ,
Error: No subroutine 'Links::Options::related_info' in 'Links.pm'
sub related_news { my $tags = shift; my $related_db = $DB->table('Relations'); my $id = $tags->{ID}; my $related_news = $related_db->get($id, 'HASH'); return $related_news; }

All I want to do is to be able to call 2 fields from this table ("ID" & "RelatedTitle"). I would really appreciate it if you can help me with this ASAP. I have been trying to fix this up for hours now but no luck Unsure

Thanks in advance,
PCMANIA

Hi,

Make sure you don't have anything for 'subclass' in your def file. Something is trying to load Links::Options (not a standard module, maybe look for where that is mentioned).

Cheers,

Alex

Hi Alex,

I don't have anything in front of my subclass here it is:

Code:
{
'ai' => 'ID',
'cols' => {
'NewsID' => {
'default' => '0',
'not_null' => '1',
'pos' => '1',
'type' => 'BIGINT',
'unsigned' => '0',
'zerofill' => '0'
},
'RelationID' => {
'default' => '0',
'not_null' => '1',
'pos' => '2',
'type' => 'BIGINT',
'unsigned' => '0',
'zerofill' => '0'
},
'NewsTitle' => {
'binary' => '0',
'default' => '',
'not_null' => '1',
'pos' => '3',
'size' => '255',
'type' => 'VARCHAR'
},
'ID' => {
'default' => '',
'not_null' => '1',
'pos' => '4',
'type' => 'BIGINT',
'unsigned' => '0',
'zerofill' => '0'
},
'RelationTitle' => {
'binary' => '0',
'default' => '',
'not_null' => '1',
'pos' => '5',
'size' => '255',
'type' => 'VARCHAR'
},
'Date' => {
'binary' => '0',
'default' => '',
'not_null' => '1',
'pos' => '6',
'size' => '11',
'type' => 'VARCHAR'
}
},
'fk' => {},
'fk_tables' => [],
'index' => {
'NewsID' => [
'NewsID'
]
},
'pk' => [
'ID'
],
'subclass' => {
'html' => {},
'table' => {}
},
'unique' => {}
};




Please take a close look at my Global Code cause I am a newbe and something might be wrong in there!

Thanks,

Pcmania

This:
Code:
'subclass' => {
'html' => {},
'table' => {}
},
Should be:
Code:
'subclass' => {},

Thanks Adrian,

Now it is giving me the Global Code as the output!!! Here it is:

Code:
sub related_news { my $tags = shift; my $related_db = $DB->table('Relations'); my $id = $tags->{ID}; my $related_news = $related_db->get($id, 'HASH'); return $related_news; }

What should I do now?

Thanks,
PCMANIA

Shouldn't that be:
Code:
sub {
my $tags = shift;
my $related_db = $DB->table("Relations");
my $id = $tags->{ID};
my $related_news = $related_db->get($id, "HASH");
return $related_news;
};
So that in globals.txt it looks like:
Code:
'related_news' => 'sub {
my $tags = shift;
my $related_db = $DB->table("Relations");
my $id = $tags->{ID};
my $related_news = $related_db->get($id, "HASH");
return $related_news;
};',

Hi Adrian,

I changed that to

Code:
sub { my $tags = shift; my $related_db = $DB->table("Relations"); my $id = $tags->{ID}; my $related_news = $related_db->get($id, "HASH"); return $related_news; };

However when I try to build my pages it is giving me the following error:

Code:
A fatal error has occured:GT::SQL::Table (19319): Configuration file '/home/virtual/mysite/home/httpd/CGIFiles/headlines/admin/defs/Relations.def' has been corrupted. Reason: Unmatched right bracket at /home/virtual/mysite/home/httpd/CGIFiles/headlines/admin/defs/Relations.def line 68, at end of line
syntax error at /home/virtual/mysite/home/httpd/CGIFiles/headlines/admin/defs/Relations.def line 68, near "}"
at /home/virtual/mysite/home/httpd/CGIFiles/headlines/admin/GT/SQL/Base.pm line 38.
Please enable debugging in setup for more details.

I switched back my Relations.def file's line 68 from:

Code:
'subclass' => {},

to

Code:
'subclass' => {

and it builds the pages and it gives me no error however it doesn't show any data for <%related_news%> tag in my templates! It is just blank!

Is the above code suppose to show me the ID field on my templates or is it suppose to show another field? If it is suppose to show the ID then how can I show another field? for example how can I show RelatedNews field?


Thanks again,
PCMANIA

Please help me ASAP!

Thanks,

Re: [brewt] New Table + Globals In reply to
Hello,
Is it possible to make this code works from the admin side?
Means, I want to use diferent field from the new table to show out in the Add Form from the admin (Add > Link).
and the field that should show up in the Link Add Form should be treated like any other field in the form (can be searched for, read-only when viewing, pull always the right Field for the Right link id....etc.)

thank you for your help..
Mark
