DataObject::validate() is currently set to protected, but this means
you can't call validate() from outside the context of itself unless
you overload the method to use a public visibility and then call
parent::validate()
As it would turn out, most classes that overload this method already
set the visibility to public, so it would make sense the parent matches
that as well.
If we want DataObject->validate() to be used instead of
the form layer, we should allow for validation errors
to be passed through unchanged to the controller layer
so we can present them to the user. The context of
which class is written should be apparent from the stacktrace
of the exception.
- Document the format for descriptor arrays
- Implement the behaviour that developers have come to expect for
string descriptors of indexes
- Add test for handling of unique indexes (MySQL & sqlite3)
- Resolve#2403
Versioned needs to convert unique indexes to non-unique for its suffixed
tables, such as Foo_Live and Foo_versions. Because DataObject accepts
string descriptors such as array('UniqIDX' => 'unique (Uniq)') as well
as array-based descriptors, Versioned needs to recognize string
descriptors. This patch accomplishes that. Before, Versioned would fail
to convert string-described indexes to non-unique, resulting in run-time
errors when creating a new version of an object.
This ensures that the correct stage is selected, even if the request
does not come through the model as controller system. This fixes an
issue where custom controllers would always be on the "Stage" stage.
If more than two $from were added through SQLQuery->addFrom(),
the getOrderedJoins() comparison kicks in. It assumes all $from
parts are in array notation, which isn't always the case.
For legacy reasons, and because we don't have full API support,
you can still add literal joins through addFrom('INNER JOIN ...').
On PHP 5.3, the ordering comparison still works because it
allows array access in strings, with string rather than numeric indexes.
Thankfully that's no longer supported in PHP 5.4.
DataQuery::initialiseQuery() will add a default sort to a query,
and when calling up an aggregate it will make a query like this
which doesn't make sense:
SELECT MAX("LastEdited") FROM "Member" ORDER BY "ID"
In this case there is no need to add the ORDER BY, and it will
break databases like MSSQL in cases such as
GenericTemplateGlobalProvider
which provides a default List() function for adding aggregates
into SSViewer template cacheblocks.
If we add a limit, however, then it does make sense:
SELECT MAX("LastEdited") FROM "Member" ORDER BY "ID" LIMIT 10
This fixes SQLQuery::aggregate() to NOT add an ORDER BY to an
aggregate call if there is no limit.
If multiple image manipulations are performend the resulting cached image is stored in assets/_resampled because the cached version of the image has no ParentID, which cacheFilename needs to set the correct path.
Not a security issue as such, since the user input is sanitized
before being used in Versioned->augmentSQL(). But it shouldn't
reach the session state either, since that's commonly assumed
to be sanitized data, and it leaves unnecessary room for error.
strtotime() has fairly loose validation rules around dates,
but its a good "first line of defence".
Doesn't have much effect in practice, because charset and collation
are already hardcoded on an ALTER TABLE level (field definitions),
which take priority. Since most MySQL installs will still default
to a latin1 encoding, this propagates to the table though,
confusing devs and in some cases causing wrong data.
Example: A MSSQL->MySQL DB migration tool used the table metadata
to determine the charset, creating encoding issues.
In terms of hardcoding, we don't really support anything other than UTF8,
and the field-level settings are already hardcoded.
We should probably remove the field-specific settings and rely
on the DB defaults, but that's a sensitive API change
(need to set on existing DBs during upgrade).
Allow DataList::limit() to take a null value to remove the limit.
Added tests for limit(). Note the one failure, currently the ORM doesn't support unlimited values with an offset.
The function "first" on ArrayList uses the PHP function "reset", which
returns false if there aren't any elements in the array. Two functions
inside ArrayList use this function, "canFilterBy" and "byID". I've
changed these functions to catch the possibility of a false return from
first().
Commit 964b3f2 fixed an issue where dbObject was returning casting helpers for
fields that were not actually DB objects, but had something in $casting config.
However, because dbObject was no longer calling DataObject->castingHelper, this
exposed a bug that the underlying function db($fieldName) was not returning
field specs for the base fields that are created by SS automatically on all
DataObjects (i.e. Created, LastEdited, etc).
This commit fixes the underlying issue that DataObject->db($fieldName) should
return the field specs for *all* DB fields like its documentation says it will,
including those base fields that are automatically created and do not appear in
$db.
Since ViewableData was returning a casting helper for Link, but DataObject was
only using $this->$fieldname to set values on that casting helper, you could
not use <% if Link %> (or <% if $Link %>) in your templates because Link is not
a field, and thus had no value to be set on the casting helper, causing
hasValue to think that there was no value. Since DataObject->dbObject says that
"it only matches fields and not methods", it seems safe to have it call db(..)
to get the field spec, and not call ViewableData->castingHelper at all.
