Mutliple tables with this package
Opened this issue · 2 comments
Hi Bruno,
I see this is an old package, anyway do you think I could create more tables within this package?
I mean for example if I have:
Products related
products alternatives
Can I simply extend the schema or I need to duplicate the whole package?
thanks!
It is not possible with the default implementation, because MigX will load the config from core/components/migxresourcerelations/migxconfigs/migxresourcerelations.config.js and that config defines the way tables are related in the "extended":"joins" part of the JSON.
I didn't want to make multiple copies of the same package, because that creates a lot of additional hassle with class names, separate db tables etc.
Instead I've extended the base migx class ( core/components/migx/model/migx/migx.class.php ) in a way, that I've added a special UI field that can control which config file is loaded on a per MigX config basis. This way I can have multiple configs with one package and can maintain multiple different resource relations with only one deployment of migxresourcerelations.
Let me know if you are interested in these changes.
Hi, thanks for your reply, that sound interesting but currently I don't need anymore that implementation, I would keep it open since some other users may need it.
