Model for custom user fields.

Models don't share that much, so most implementations will be adding methods onto this class. This class simply provides helper methods for common actions.

package XenForo_Mvc

 Methods

Constructor.

__construct() 
Inherited

Use create() statically unless you know what you're doing.

inherited_from \XenForo_Model::__construct()

Adds a join to the set of fetch options.

addFetchOptionJoin(array $fetchOptions, integer $join) 
Inherited

Join should be one of the constants.

inherited_from \XenForo_Model::addFetchOptionJoin()

Parameters

$fetchOptions

array

$join

integer

Adds the equivalent of a limit clause using position-based limits.

addPositionLimit(string $table, integer $limit, integer $offset, string $column) : string
Inherited

It no limit value is specified, nothing will be returned.

This must be added within a WHERE clause. If a clause is required, it will begin with "AND", so ensure there is a condition before it.

inherited_from \XenForo_Model::addPositionLimit()

Parameters

$table

string

Name of the table alias to prefix. May be blank for no table reference.

$limit

integer

Number of records to limit to; ignored if <= 0

$offset

integer

Offset from the start of the records. 0+

$column

string

Name of the column that is storing the position

Returns

stringPosition limit clause if needed

Ensures that a valid cut-off operator is passed.

assertValidCutOffOperator(string $operator) 
Inherited
inherited_from \XenForo_Model::assertValidCutOffOperator()

Parameters

$operator

string

Factory method to get the named model.

create(string $class) : \XenForo_Model
InheritedStatic

The class must exist or be autoloadable or an exception will be thrown.

inherited_from \XenForo_Model::create()

Parameters

$class

string

Class to load

Returns

\XenForo_Model

Fetches results from the database with each row keyed according to preference.

fetchAllKeyed(string $sql, string $key, mixed $bind, string $nullPrefix) : array
Inherited

The 'key' parameter provides the column name with which to key the result. For example, calling fetchAllKeyed('SELECT item_id, title, date FROM table', 'item_id') would result in an array keyed by item_id: [$itemId] => array('item_id' => $itemId, 'title' => $title, 'date' => $date)

Note that the specified key must exist in the query result, or it will be ignored.

inherited_from \XenForo_Model::fetchAllKeyed()

Parameters

$sql

string

SQL to execute

$key

string

Column with which to key the results array

$bind

mixed

Parameters for the SQL

Parameters

$sqlConditions

Returns

string
