I would like to post some variables to a specific file in opencart. My problem is that I am not sure how to specify the file to post them to. This is my checkout.tpl file, inside the default template. I am trying to post the variable's to my confirm.tpl file, also in the default template. This is as close as i have got:
$('#button-account').live('click', function() {
var var1= $('#var1').val();
var var2= $('#var2').val();
$.post("catalog/view/theme/default/template/checkout/confirm.tpl", { quantity: quantity, total: total });
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Due to the MVC nature of OpenCart, you would actually need to post the results to a specific function in the controller configured to accept the ajax post, not the template.
Try reading the answer to How to become an OpenCart guru? that Jay Gilford provided. You might gain a better understanding of the system and how everything fits together.
The add() function of checkout/cart is configured for json, see if you can work it out from that.
$.post("catalog/view/theme/default/template/checkout/confirm.tpl", { quantity: quantity, total: total });
should probably read something like:
$.post("index.php?route=checkout/confirm/<function here>", { quantity: quantity, total: total });

I have a route (route-a) that transitions to another route (route-b) and I am trying to find a way for the destination URL to maintain the all query parameters, even if route-b does not know about them in advance.
For example, if a user visits https://example.com/route-a/?var1=x&var2=y, and the transition to route-b happens like this:
afterModel(model, transition) {
this.transitionTo('route-b', model, {queryParams: transition.to.queryParams}) // transition route-a to route-b
}
...the ultimate URL will be https://example.com/route-b/ — without the query params.
Now, I realize the "Ember way" is to define the queryParams on route-b's controller in advance, but in this particular use-case, I do not know the queryParams in advance. Route B consumes any and all query params provided to it, which means they would be impossible to enumerate in advance.
How can I transition to a new route without dropping query parameters that are not specifically enumerated on the destination route's controller?
Is there a way to handle unknown queryParams, or is there the notion of a wildcard for queryParams (similar to *path routes)?
Update: I'm not marking this as the answer, because as jelhan notes below, using a computed property for this key is explicitly identified as a no-no in the docs. But it worked for our use-case, and it might for others, though I'm guessing it may break down if you have additional queryParams in other routes that might conflict when Ember attempts to combine them.
Previous answer:
My solution here ended up using Ember's computed method to auto-generate the Array of query params by parsing the URL.
queryParams: computed("router.location", function () {
let qp = this.get("router.location").getURL().split("?")[1];
if (qp) {
let qpAsObj = JSON.parse(
'{"' +
decodeURI(qp)
.replace(/"/g, '\\"')
.replace(/&/g, '","')
.replace(/=/g, '":"') +
'"}'
);
return Object.keys(qpAsObj)
}
})
If you don't want to subsequently maintain those query params on the page/model the next time a user re-visits that page ("sticky query params"), you will also need to remove the queryParams on the route:
resetController(controller) {
// unset all queryParams when leaving the route
controller.queryParams.forEach(v => {
controller.set(v, null)
})
}
This solution is... not ideal, but it works and we have tests written to ensure that we will catch any errors if it breaks going forward.
I want to be able to retrieve a certain conversation when its id is entered in the URL. If the conversation does not exist, I want to display an alert message with a record not found.
here is my model hook :
model: function(params){
return this.store.filter('conversation', { status : params.status}, function(rec){
if(params.status == 'all'){
return ((rec.get('status') === 'opened' || rec.get('status') === 'closed'));
}
else{
return (rec.get('status') === params.status); <--- Problem is here
}
});
}
For example, if I want to access a certain conversation directly, I could do :
dev.rails.local:3000/conversations/email.l#email.com#/convid
The problem is when I enter a conversation id which doesn't exist (like asdfasdf), ember makes call to an inexisting backend route.
It makes a call to GET conversation/asdfasdf. I'm about sure that it is only due to the record not existing. I have nested resources in my router so I'm also about sure that it tries to retrieve the conversation with a non existing id.
Basically, I want to verify the existence of the conversation before returning something from my hook. Keep in mind that my model hook is pretty much set and won't change, except for adding a validation on the existence of the conversation with the id in the url. The reason behind this is that the project is almost complete and everything is based on this hook.
Here is my router (some people are going to tell me you can't use nested resources, but I'm doing it and it is gonna stay like that so I have to work with it because I'm working on a project and I have to integrate ember in this section only and I have to use this setup) :
App.Router.map(function(){
// Routing list to raw namespace path
this.resource('conversations', { path : '/' }, function() {
this.resource('conversation', { path : '/:conversation_id'});
});
});
This also happens when I dont specify any id and I use the hashtag in my url like this :
dev.rails.local:3000/conversations/email.l#email.com#/ would make a call to conversation/
I know it is because of my nested resource. How can I do it?
By passing a query to filter (your { status : params.status}) you are asking Ember Data to do a server query. Try removing it.
From the docs at http://emberjs.com/api/data/classes/DS.Store.html#method_filter:
Optionally you can pass a query, which is the equivalent of calling find with that same query, to fetch additional records from the server. The results returned by the server could then appear in the filter if they match the filter function.
So, remove the query:
model: function(params){
return this.store.filter('conversation', function(rec) {
if (params.status == 'all') {
return rec.get('status') === 'opened' || rec.get('status') === 'closed';
} else {
return rec.get('status') === params.status;
}
});
}
Ok so here is what I did. I removed my nested resource because I realised I wasn't using it for any good reason other than redirecting my url. I decided to manually redirect my url using javascript window.location.
This removed the unwanted call (which was caused by the nested resource).
Thanks to torazaburo, you opened my eyes on many things.
How can I perform a where-in type query using ember-data?
Say I have a list of tags - how can I use the store to query the API to get all relevant records where they have one of the tags present?
Something like this:
return this.store.find('tags', {
name: {
"in": ['tag1', 'tag2', 'tag3']
}
})
There isn't built in support for something like that. And, I don't think its needed.
The result that you are after can be obtained in two steps.
return this.store.find('posts'); // I guess its a blog
and then in your controller you use a computed property
filteredPosts: function('model', function() {
var tags = ['tag1', 'tag2', 'tag3'];
return this.get('model').filter(function(post) {
if ( /* post has one of tags */ ) {
}
return false;
});
});
Update: What if there are tens of thousands of tags?!
Amother option is to send a list of tags as a single argument to the back end. You'll have to do a bit of data processing before sending a request and before querying.
return this.store.find('tags', {
tags: ['tag1', 'tag2', 'tag3'].join(', ')
})
In your API you'll know that the tags argument needs to be converted into an array before querying the DB.
So, this is better because you avoid the very expensive nested loop caused by the use of filter. (expensive !== bad, it has its benefits)
It is a concern to think that there will be tens of thousands of tags, if those are going to be available in your Ember app they'll have a big memory footprint and maybe something much more advanced is needed in terms of app design.
I have a DS.Store which uses the DS.RESTAdapter and a ChatMessage object defined as such:
App.ChatMessage = DS.Model.extend({
contents: DS.attr('string'),
roomId: DS.attr('string')
});
Note that a chat message exists in a room (not shown for simplicity), so in my chat messages controller (which extends Ember.ArrayController) I only want to load messages for the room the user is currently in:
loadMessages: function(){
var room_id = App.getPath("current_room.id");
this.set("content", App.store.find(App.ChatMessage, {room_id: room_id});
}
This sets the content to a DS.AdapterPopulatedModelArray and my view happily displays all the returned chat messages in an {{#each}} block.
Now it comes to adding a new message, I have the following in the same controller:
postMessage: function(contents) {
var room_id = App.getPath("current_room.id");
App.store.createRecord(App.ChatMessage, {
contents: contents,
room_id: room_id
});
App.store.commit();
}
This initiates an ajax request to save the message on the server, all good so far, but it doesn't update the view. This pretty much makes sense as it's a filtered result and if I remove the room_id filter on App.store.find then it updates as expected.
Trying this.pushObject(message) with the message record returned from App.store.createRecord raises an error.
How do I manually add the item to the results? There doesn't seem to be a way as far as I can tell as both DS.AdapterPopulatedModelArray and DS.FilteredModelArray are immutable.
so couple of thoughts:
(reference: https://github.com/emberjs/data/issues/190)
how to listen for new records in the datastore
a normal Model.find()/findQuery() will return you an AdapterPopulatedModelArray, but that array will stand on its own... it wont know that anything new has been loaded into the database
a Model.find() with no params (or store.findAll()) will return you ALL records a FilteredModelArray, and ember-data will "register" it into a list, and any new records loaded into the database will be added to this array.
calling Model.filter(func) will give you back a FilteredModelArray, which is also registered with the store... and any new records in the store will cause ember-data to "updateModelArrays", meaning it will call your filter function with the new record, and if you return true, then it will stick it into your existing array.
SO WHAT I ENDED UP DOING: was immediately after creating the store, I call store.findAll(), which gives me back an array of all models for a type... and I attach that to the store... then anywhere else in the code, I can addArrayObservers to those lists.. something like:
App.MyModel = DS.Model.extend()
App.store = DS.Store.create()
App.store.allMyModels = App.store.findAll(App.MyModel)
//some other place in the app... a list controller perhaps
App.store.allMyModels.addArrayObserver({
arrayWillChange: function(arr, start, removeCount, addCount) {}
arrayDidChange: function(arr, start, removeCount, addCount) {}
})
how to push a model into one of those "immutable" arrays:
First to note: all Ember-Data Model instances (records) have a clientId property... which is a unique integer that identifies the model in the datastore cache whether or not it has a real server-id yet (example: right after doing a Model.createRecord).
so the AdapterPopulatedModelArray itself has a "content" property... which is an array of these clientId's... and when you iterate over the AdapterPopulatedModelArray, the iterator loops over these clientId's and hands you back the full model instances (records) that map to each clientId.
SO WHAT I HAVE DONE
(this doesn't mean it's "right"!) is to watch those findAll arrays, and push new clientId's into the content property of the AdapterPopulatedModelArray... SOMETHING LIKE:
arrayDidChange:function(arr, start, removeCount, addCount){
if (addCount == 0) {return;} //only care about adds right now... not removes...
arr.slice(start, start+addCount).forEach(function(item) {
//push clientId of this item into AdapterPopulatedModelArray content list
self.getPath('list.content').pushObject(item.get('clientId'));
});
}
what I can say is: "its working for me" :) will it break on the next ember-data update? totally possible
For those still struggling with this, you can get yourself a dynamic DS.FilteredArray instead of a static DS.AdapterPopulatedRecordArray by using the store.filter method. It takes 3 parameters: type, query and finally a filter callback.
loadMessages: function() {
var self = this,
room_id = App.getPath('current_room.id');
this.store.filter(App.ChatMessage, {room_id: room_id}, function (msg) {
return msg.get('roomId') === room_id;
})
// set content only after promise has resolved
.then(function (messages) {
self.set('content', messages);
});
}
You could also do this in the model hook without the extra clutter, because the model hook will accept a promise directly:
model: function() {
var self = this,
room_id = App.getPath("current_room.id");
return this.store.filter(App.ChatMessage, {room_id: room_id}, function (msg) {
return msg.get('roomId') === room_id;
});
}
My reading of the source (DS.Store.find) shows that what you'd actually be receiving in this instance is an AdapterPopulatedModelArray. A FilteredModelArray would auto-update as you create records. There are passing tests for this behaviour.
As of ember.data 1.13 store.filter was marked for removal, see the following ember blog post.
The feature was made available as a mixin. The GitHub page contains the following note
We recommend that you refactor away from using this addon. Below is a short guide for the three filter use scenarios and how to best refactor each.
Why? Simply put, it's far more performant (and not a memory leak) for you to manage filtering yourself via a specialized computed property tailored specifically for your needs
I'm having difficulty wrapping my head around the following:
There's a view that displays the list of items
I take the list of items from the backend via RESTful interface in JSON using ember-data and hand-crafted adapter
In my view I do something like this:
{{#collection contentBinding="App.recentAdditionsController"}}
...
{{/collection}}
App.recentAdditionsController is defined like this:
App.recentAdditionsController = Em.ArrayController.create({
refresh: function(query) {
var items = App.store.findAll(App.Item);
this.set('content', items);
}
});
And... this doesn't work. The reason being App.store.findAll() returning ModelArray which is much like ArrayController itself.
I saw people doing something like this:
App.recentAdditions = App.store.findAll(App.Item);
I could imagine doing it like that, but how would I refresh the list at will (checking if there's anything new).
Hope all is clear more or less.
I've verified that you can use a ModelArray inside an ArrayController. Here's a jsFiddle example: http://jsfiddle.net/ebryn/VkKX2/
"Now the question is how to make the list update itself if there are new objects in the backend?"
Use App.Model.filter to keep your recordArray in sync. Add the query hash when the filter is invoked to ensure than an initial query was made.
model: ->
App.Model.filter {page: 1}, (data) ->
data
edit: Just saw how old the question was, but leaving it here in case it helps someone.
