Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Elgg\Database\Annotations::__construct	(	\Elgg\Database	$db,
		\ElggSession	$session,
		\Elgg\EventsService	$events
	)

Parameters

\Elgg\Database	$db	Database
\ElggSession	$session	Session
\Elgg\EventsService	$events	Events

Definition at line 39 of file Annotations.php.

Member Function Documentation

Elgg\Database\Annotations::create	(	$entity_guid,
		$name,
		$value,
		$value_type = `''`,
		$owner_guid = `0`,
		$access_id = `ACCESS_PRIVATE`
	)

Create a new annotation.

Parameters

int	$entity_guid	GUID of entity to be annotated
string	$name	Name of annotation
string	$value	Value of annotation
string	$value_type	Type of value (default is auto detection)
int	$owner_guid	Owner of annotation (default is logged in user)
int	$access_id	Access level of annotation

Returns: int|bool id on success or false on failure

Definition at line 84 of file Annotations.php.

Elgg\Database\Annotations::delete ( $id )

Deletes an annotation using its ID.

Parameters

int $id The annotation ID to delete.

Returns: bool

Definition at line 64 of file Annotations.php.

Elgg\Database\Annotations::deleteAll ( array $options )

Deletes annotations based on $options.

Warning: Unlike elgg_get_annotations() this will not accept an empty options array! This requires at least one constraint: annotation_owner_guid(s), annotation_name(s), annotation_value(s), or guid(s) must be set.

Parameters

array $options An options array. elgg_get_annotations()

Returns: bool|null true on success, false on failure, null if no annotations to delete.

Definition at line 243 of file Annotations.php.

Elgg\Database\Annotations::disableAll ( array $options )

Disables annotations based on $options.

Warning: Unlike elgg_get_annotations() this will not accept an empty options array!

Parameters

array $options An options array. elgg_get_annotations()

Returns: bool|null true on success, false on failure, null if no annotations disabled.

Definition at line 260 of file Annotations.php.

Elgg\Database\Annotations::enableAll ( array $options )

Enables annotations based on $options.

Warning: Unlike elgg_get_annotations() this will not accept an empty options array!; In order to enable annotations, you must first use access_show_hidden_entities().

Parameters

array $options An options array. elgg_get_annotations()

Returns: bool|null true on success, false on failure, null if no metadata enabled.

Definition at line 284 of file Annotations.php.

Elgg\Database\Annotations::exists	(	$entity_guid,
		$annotation_type,
		$owner_guid = `null`
	)

Check to see if a user has already created an annotation on an object.

Parameters

int	$entity_guid	Entity guid
string	$annotation_type	Type of annotation
int	$owner_guid	Defaults to logged in user.

Returns: bool

Definition at line 470 of file Annotations.php.

Elgg\Database\Annotations::find ( array $options = array() )

Returns annotations.

Accepts all elgg_get_entities() options for entity restraints.

See also: elgg_get_entities

Parameters

array $options Array in format:

annotation_names => null|ARR Annotation names annotation_values => null|ARR Annotation values annotation_ids => null|ARR annotation ids annotation_case_sensitive => BOOL Overall Case sensitive annotation_owner_guids => null|ARR guids for annotation owners annotation_created_time_lower => INT Lower limit for created time. annotation_created_time_upper => INT Upper limit for created time. annotation_calculation => STR Perform the MySQL function on the annotation values returned. Do not confuse this "annotation_calculation" option with the "calculation" option to elgg_get_entities_from_annotation_calculation(). The "annotation_calculation" option causes this function to return the result of performing a mathematical calculation on all annotations that match the query instead of objects. See the docs for elgg_get_entities_from_annotation_calculation() for the proper use of the "calculation" option.

Returns: []|mixed

Definition at line 221 of file Annotations.php.

Elgg\Database\Annotations::get ( $id )

Get a specific annotation by its id.

If you want multiple annotation objects, use elgg_get_annotations().

Parameters

int $id The id of the annotation object being retrieved.

Returns: |false

Definition at line 54 of file Annotations.php.

Elgg\Database\Annotations::getEntities ( array $options = array() )

Returns entities based upon annotations.

Also accepts all options available to elgg_get_entities() and elgg_get_entities_from_metadata().

See also: elgg_get_entities; elgg_get_entities_from_metadata

Parameters

array

$options

Array in format:

annotation_names => null|ARR annotations names

annotation_values => null|ARR annotations values

annotation_name_value_pairs => null|ARR (name = 'name', value => 'value',
'operator' => '=', 'case_sensitive' => true) entries.
Currently if multiple values are sent via an array (value => array('value1', 'value2')
the pair's operator will be forced to "IN".

annotation_name_value_pairs_operator => null|STR The operator to use for combining

(name = value) OPERATOR (name = value); default AND

annotation_case_sensitive => BOOL Overall Case sensitive

order_by_annotation => null|ARR (array('name' => 'annotation_text1', 'direction' => ASC|DESC, 'as' => text|integer),

Also supports array('name' => 'annotation_text1')

annotation_owner_guids => null|ARR guids for annotaiton owners

Returns: mixed If count, int. If not count, array. false on errors.

Definition at line 325 of file Annotations.php.

Elgg\Database\Annotations::getEntitiesFromCalculation ( $options )

Get entities ordered by a mathematical calculation on annotation values.

Note that this function uses elgg_get_annotations() to return a list of entities ordered by a mathematical calculation on annotation values, and elgg_get_entities_from_annotations() to return a count of entities if $options['count'] is set to a truthy value

Parameters

array $options An options array: 'calculation' => The calculation to use. Must be a valid MySQL function. Defaults to sum. Result selected as 'annotation_calculation'. Don't confuse this "calculation" option with the "annotation_calculation" option to elgg_get_annotations(). This "calculation" option is applied to each entity's set of annotations and is selected as annotation_calculation for that row. See the docs for elgg_get_annotations() for proper use of the "annotation_calculation" option. 'order_by' => The order for the sorting. Defaults to 'annotation_calculation desc'. 'annotation_names' => The names of annotations on the entity. 'annotation_values' => The values of annotations on the entity.

'metadata_names' => The name of metadata on the entity. 'metadata_values' => The value of metadata on the entitiy. 'callback' => Callback function to pass each row through. This function is different from other ege* functions, as it uses a metastring-based getter function elgg_get_annotations(), therefore the callback function should be a derivative of entity_row_to_elggstar() and not of row_to_annotation()

Returns: []|int An array or a count of entities

Elgg\Database\Annotations::update	(	$annotation_id,
		$name,
		$value,
		$value_type,
		$owner_guid,
		$access_id
	)

Update an annotation.

Parameters

int	$annotation_id	Annotation ID
string	$name	Name of annotation
string	$value	Value of annotation
string	$value_type	Type of value
int	$owner_guid	Owner of annotation
int	$access_id	Access level of annotation

Returns: bool
