为什么我无法在typo3扩展名中将对象保存到数据库中？

Question

Why won't my user and coupon objects get saved to the database when a new record is created?

I am using typo3 v 4.5.30 and making a little extension (my first) to manage some coupons. When I create a coupon I save the creator (a frontenduser) and it gets saved to the DB correctly. But when I do the same thing for a coupon user that user ( and the coupon ) do not get saved to the db. Consider this code frag which attempts to save the user and the coupon in a usedcoupon table. The usedcoupon table basically just has 2 columns one for the user and one for the coupon.

To get a usedcoupon object I called the objectmanagers create method. The user and coupon objects I already have and look right when I var_dump them. Even when I get them from the usedcoupon object they look ok but they don't get saved to the db even when the new record gets created. This code in in my CouponController in an action method.

             $used = $this->objectManager>create('Tx_BpsCoupons_Domain_Model_UsedCoupon');    
             $used->setCoupon($coupon);
             $used->setUser($user);
             $used->setGuest("myemail@ddd.com");

             $userx = $used->getUser();
             $coupx = $used->getCoupon();
             /// var_dumps of userx and coupx  show good objects

             $this->usedCouponRepository->add($used);
             //after this I can examine the db and see the new record but the user and coupon fields are empty, and no errors are seen

Thanks

PPPS: I tried adding a basic text field for email addresses but it turns out they don't get saved either. I had thought the issue was that the user and coupon filed were references to rows in other tables but now it turns out that simpler things do not get saved either.

Answer 1

If that happens, most probably your objects are not persisted. Normally Extbase persists changes to objects after the end of a request. But if you eg return your response as JSON and then exit your action, the persistenceManager is not called.

You can persist manually by injecting the persistenceManager to your controller:

/**
* @var Tx_Extbase_Persistence_Manager
*/
protected $persistenceManager;

/**
* @param Tx_Extbase_Persistence_Manager $persistanceManager
* @return void
*/
public function injectPersistenceManager(Tx_Extbase_Persistence_Manager $persistenceManager) {
  $this->persistenceManager = $persistenceManager;
}

and then call it after you added the new object:

$persistenceManager->persistAll();

In TYPO3 4.7+, you can use the @inject annotation in the doc comment of $persistenceManager to inject the persistenceManager and don't need the inject function.

If this doesn't solve the problem, maybe there's a problem with your TCA.
