Function Documentation

_elgg_relationship_init ( )

Initialize the relationship library private.

Definition at line 275 of file relationships.php.

_elgg_relationships_test	(	$hook,
		$type,
		$tests
	)

Register relationship unit tests.

Parameters

string	$hook
string	$type
array	$tests

Returns: array private

Definition at line 264 of file relationships.php.

add_entity_relationship	(	$guid_one,
		$relationship,
		$guid_two
	)

Create a relationship between two entities.

E.g. friendship, group membership, site membership.

This function lets you make the statement "$guid_one is a $relationship of $guid_two". In the statement, $guid_one is the subject of the relationship, $guid_two is the target, and $relationship is the type.

Parameters

int	$guid_one	GUID of the subject entity of the relationship
string	$relationship	Type of the relationship
int	$guid_two	GUID of the target entity of the relationship

Returns: bool

Exceptions

InvalidArgumentException

Definition at line 45 of file relationships.php.

check_entity_relationship	(	$guid_one,
		$relationship,
		$guid_two
	)

Check if a relationship exists between two entities.

If so, the relationship object is returned.

This function lets you ask "Is $guid_one a $relationship of $guid_two?"

Parameters

int	$guid_one	GUID of the subject entity of the relationship
string	$relationship	Type of the relationship
int	$guid_two	GUID of the target entity of the relationship

Returns: |false Depending on success

Definition at line 60 of file relationships.php.

delete_relationship ( $id )

Delete a relationship by its ID.

Parameters

int $id The relationship ID

Returns: bool

Definition at line 27 of file relationships.php.

elgg_get_entities_from_relationship ( $options )

Return entities matching a given query joining against a relationship.

By default the function finds relationship targets. E.g.:

// find groups with a particular member: $options = [ 'relationship' => 'member', 'relationship_guid' => $member->guid, ];

// find people the user has friended $options = [ 'relationship' => 'friend', 'relationship_guid' => $user->guid, ];

// find stuff created by friends (not in groups) $options = [ 'relationship' => 'friend', 'relationship_guid' => $user->guid, 'relationship_join_on' => 'container_guid', ];

To find relationship subjects, set "inverse_relationship" to true. E.g.:

// find members of a particular group $options = [ 'relationship' => 'member', 'relationship_guid' => $group->guid, 'inverse_relationship' => true, ];

// find users who have friended the current user $options = [ 'relationship' => 'friend', 'relationship_guid' => $user->guid, 'inverse_relationship' => true, ];

Note: You may want to specify "type" because relationship types might be used for other entities.

This also accepts all options available to elgg_get_entities() and elgg_get_entities_from_metadata().

To ask for entities that do not have a particular relationship to an entity, use a custom where clause like the following:

$options['wheres'][] = "NOT EXISTS (
    SELECT 1 FROM {$db_prefix}entity_relationships
        WHERE guid_one = e.guid
        AND relationship = '$relationship'
)";

See also: elgg_get_entities; elgg_get_entities_from_metadata

Parameters

array $options Array in format:

relationship => null|STR Type of the relationship. E.g. "member"

relationship_guid => null|INT GUID of the subject of the relationship, unless "inverse_relationship" is set to true, in which case this will specify the target.

inverse_relationship => false|BOOL Are we searching for relationship subjects? By default, the query finds targets of relationships.

relationship_join_on => null|STR How the entities relate: guid (default), container_guid, or owner_guid Examples using the relationship 'friend':

use 'guid' if you want the user's friends
use 'owner_guid' if you want the entities the user's friends own (including in groups)
use 'container_guid' if you want the entities in the user's personal space (non-group)

relationship_created_time_lower => null|INT Relationship created time lower boundary in epoch time

relationship_created_time_upper => null|INT Relationship created time upper boundary in epoch time

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

Since: 1.7.0

Definition at line 188 of file relationships.php.

elgg_get_entities_from_relationship_count ( array $options = array() )

Gets the number of entities by a the number of entities related to them in a particular way.

This is a good way to get out the users with the most friends, or the groups with the most members.

Parameters

array $options An options array compatible with elgg_get_entities_from_relationship()

Returns: []|int|boolean If count, int. If not count, array. false on errors.

elgg_get_entity_relationship_where_sql	(	$column,
		$relationship = `null`,
		$relationship_guid = `null`,
		$inverse_relationship = `false`
	)

Returns SQL appropriate for relationship joins and wheres.

Parameters

string	$column	Column name the GUID should be checked against. Provide in table.column format.
string	$relationship	Type of the relationship
int	$relationship_guid	Entity GUID to check
bool	$inverse_relationship	Is $relationship_guid the target of the relationship?

Returns: mixed

elgg_list_entities_from_relationship ( array $options = array() )

Returns a viewable list of entities by relationship.
