aggregate#

ansi#

Counts the number of records grouped by the values in the key column and matched by the given criteria

mshop/review/manager/aggregate/ansi =
  • Type: string - SQL statement for aggregating review items
  • Since: 2020.10

Groups all records by the values in the key column and counts their occurence. The matched records can be limited by the given criteria from the review database. The records must be from one of the sites that are configured via the context item. If the current site is part of a tree of sites, the statement can count all records from the current site and the complete sub-tree of sites.

As the records can normally be limited by criteria from sub-managers, their tables must be joined in the SQL context. This is done by using the "internaldeps" property from the definition of the ID column of the sub-managers. These internal dependencies specify the JOIN between the tables and the used columns for joining. The ":joins" placeholder is then replaced by the JOIN strings from the sub-managers.

To limit the records matched, conditions can be added to the given criteria object. It can contain comparisons like column names that must match specific values which can be combined by AND, OR or NOT operators. The resulting string of SQL conditions replaces the ":cond" placeholder before the statement is sent to the database server.

This statement doesn't return any records. Instead, it returns pairs of the different values found in the key column together with the number of records that have been found for that key values.

The SQL statement should conform to the ANSI standard to be compatible with most relational database systems. This also includes using double quotes for table and column names.

count#

ansi#

Counts the number of records matched by the given criteria in the database

mshop/review/manager/count/ansi =
  • Type: string - SQL statement for counting items
  • Since: 2020.10

Counts all records matched by the given criteria from the review database. The records must be from one of the sites that are configured via the context item. If the current site is part of a tree of sites, the statement can count all records from the current site and the complete sub-tree of sites.

As the records can normally be limited by criteria from sub-managers, their tables must be joined in the SQL context. This is done by using the "internaldeps" property from the definition of the ID column of the sub-managers. These internal dependencies specify the JOIN between the tables and the used columns for joining. The ":joins" placeholder is then replaced by the JOIN strings from the sub-managers.

To limit the records matched, conditions can be added to the given criteria object. It can contain comparisons like column names that must match specific values which can be combined by AND, OR or NOT operators. The resulting string of SQL conditions replaces the ":cond" placeholder before the statement is sent to the database server.

Both, the strings for ":joins" and for ":cond" are the same as for the "search" SQL statement.

Contrary to the "search" statement, it doesn't return any records but instead the number of records that have been found. As counting thousands of records can be a long running task, the maximum number of counted records is limited for performance reasons.

The SQL statement should conform to the ANSI standard to be compatible with most relational database systems. This also includes using double quotes for table and column names.

decorators#

excludes#

Excludes decorators added by the "common" option from the review manager

mshop/review/manager/decorators/excludes =
  • Type: array - List of decorator names
  • Since: 2020.10

Decorators extend the functionality of a class by adding new aspects (e.g. log what is currently done), executing the methods of the underlying class only in certain conditions (e.g. only for logged in users) or modify what is returned to the caller.

This option allows you to remove a decorator added via "mshop/common/manager/decorators/default" before they are wrapped around the review manager.

 mshop/review/manager/decorators/excludes = array( 'decorator1' )

This would remove the decorator named "decorator1" from the list of common decorators ("\Aimeos\MShop\Common\Manager\Decorator*") added via "mshop/common/manager/decorators/default" for the review manager.

global#

Adds a list of globally available decorators only to the review manager

mshop/review/manager/decorators/global =
  • Type: array - List of decorator names
  • Since: 2020.10

Decorators extend the functionality of a class by adding new aspects (e.g. log what is currently done), executing the methods of the underlying class only in certain conditions (e.g. only for logged in users) or modify what is returned to the caller.

This option allows you to wrap global decorators ("\Aimeos\MShop\Common\Manager\Decorator*") around the review manager.

 mshop/review/manager/decorators/global = array( 'decorator1' )

This would add the decorator named "decorator1" defined by "\Aimeos\MShop\Common\Manager\Decorator\Decorator1" only to the review manager.

mshop/review/manager/decorators/local =
  • Type: array - List of decorator names
  • Since: 2020.10

Decorators extend the functionality of a class by adding new aspects (e.g. log what is currently done), executing the methods of the underlying class only in certain conditions (e.g. only for logged in users) or modify what is returned to the caller.

This option allows you to wrap local decorators ("\Aimeos\MShop\Review\Manager\Decorator*") around the review manager.

 mshop/review/manager/decorators/local = array( 'decorator2' )

delete#

ansi#

Deletes the items matched by the given IDs from the database

mshop/review/manager/delete/ansi =
  • Type: string - SQL statement for deleting items
  • Since: 2020.10

Removes the records specified by the given IDs from the review database. The records must be from the site that is configured via the context item.

The ":cond" placeholder is replaced by the name of the ID column and the given ID or list of IDs while the site ID is bound to the question mark.

The SQL statement should conform to the ANSI standard to be compatible with most relational database systems. This also includes using double quotes for table and column names.

insert#

ansi#

Inserts a new review record into the database table

mshop/review/manager/insert/ansi =
  • Type: string - SQL statement for inserting records
  • Since: 2020.10

Items with no ID yet (i.e. the ID is NULL) will be created in the database and the newly created ID retrieved afterwards using the "newid" SQL statement.

The SQL statement must be a string suitable for being used as prepared statement. It must include question marks for binding the values from the review item to the statement before they are sent to the database server. The number of question marks must be the same as the number of columns listed in the INSERT statement. The order of the columns must correspond to the order in the save() method, so the correct values are bound to the columns.

The SQL statement should conform to the ANSI standard to be compatible with most relational database systems. This also includes using double quotes for table and column names.

name#

Class name of the used review manager implementation

mshop/review/manager/name =
  • Type: string - Last part of the class name
  • Since: 2020.10

Each default manager can be replace by an alternative imlementation. To use this implementation, you have to set the last part of the class name as configuration value so the manager factory knows which class it has to instantiate.

For example, if the name of the default class is

 \Aimeos\MShop\Review\Manager\Standard

and you want to replace it with your own version named

 \Aimeos\MShop\Review\Manager\Mymanager

then you have to set the this configuration option:

 mshop/review/manager/name = Mymanager

The value is the last part of your own class name and it's case sensitive, so take care that the configuration value is exactly named like the last part of the class name.

The allowed characters of the class name are A-Z, a-z and 0-9. No other characters are possible! You should always start the last part of the class name with an upper case character and continue only with lower case characters or numbers. Avoid chamel case names like "MyManager"!

newid#

ansi#

Retrieves the ID generated by the database when inserting a new record

mshop/review/manager/newid/ansi =
  • Type: string - SQL statement for retrieving the last inserted record ID
  • Since: 2020.10

As soon as a new record is inserted into the database table, the database server generates a new and unique identifier for that record. This ID can be used for retrieving, updating and deleting that specific record from the table again.

For MySQL: 

 SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID()
For PostgreSQL:
 SELECT currval('seq_mrul_id')
For SQL Server:
 SELECT SCOPE_IDENTITY()
For Oracle:
 SELECT "seq_mrul_id".CURRVAL FROM DUAL

There's no way to retrive the new ID by a SQL statements that fits for most database servers as they implement their own specific way.

resource#

Name of the database connection resource to use

mshop/review/manager/resource =
  • Type: string - Database connection name
  • Since: 2023.04

You can configure a different database connection for each data domain and if no such connection name exists, the "db" connection will be used. It's also possible to use the same database connection for different data domains by configuring the same connection name using this setting.

ansi#

Retrieves the records matched by the given criteria in the database

mshop/review/manager/search/ansi =
  • Type: string - SQL statement for searching items
  • Since: 2020.10

Fetches the records matched by the given criteria from the review database. The records must be from one of the sites that are configured via the context item. If the current site is part of a tree of sites, the SELECT statement can retrieve all records from the current site and the complete sub-tree of sites.

As the records can normally be limited by criteria from sub-managers, their tables must be joined in the SQL context. This is done by using the "internaldeps" property from the definition of the ID column of the sub-managers. These internal dependencies specify the JOIN between the tables and the used columns for joining. The ":joins" placeholder is then replaced by the JOIN strings from the sub-managers.

To limit the records matched, conditions can be added to the given criteria object. It can contain comparisons like column names that must match specific values which can be combined by AND, OR or NOT operators. The resulting string of SQL conditions replaces the ":cond" placeholder before the statement is sent to the database server.

If the records that are retrieved should be ordered by one or more columns, the generated string of column / sort direction pairs replaces the ":order" placeholder.

The number of returned records can be limited and can start at any number between the begining and the end of the result set. For that the ":size" and ":start" placeholders are replaced by the corresponding values from the criteria object. The default values are 0 for the start and 100 for the size value.

The SQL statement should conform to the ANSI standard to be compatible with most relational database systems. This also includes using double quotes for table and column names.

sitemode#

Mode how items from levels below or above in the site tree are handled

mshop/review/manager/sitemode =
  • Type: int - Constant from Aimeos\MShop\Locale\Manager\Base class
  • Since: 2018.01

By default, only items from the current site are fetched from the storage. If the ai-sites extension is installed, you can create a tree of sites. Then, this setting allows you to define for the whole review domain if items from parent sites are inherited, sites from child sites are aggregated or both.

Available constants for the site mode are: * 0 = only items from the current site * 1 = inherit items from parent sites * 2 = aggregate items from child sites * 3 = inherit and aggregate items at the same time

You also need to set the mode in the locale manager (mshop/locale/manager/sitelevel) to one of the constants. If you set it to the same value, it will work as described but you can also use different modes. For example, if inheritance and aggregation is configured the locale manager but only inheritance in the domain manager because aggregating items makes no sense in this domain, then items wil be only inherited. Thus, you have full control over inheritance and aggregation in each domain.

submanagers#

List of manager names that can be instantiated by the review manager

mshop/review/manager/submanagers =
  • Type: array - List of sub-manager names
  • Since: 2020.10

Managers provide a generic interface to the underlying storage. Each manager has or can have sub-managers caring about particular aspects. Each of these sub-managers can be instantiated by its parent manager using the getSubManager() method.

The search keys from sub-managers can be normally used in the manager as well. It allows you to search for items of the manager using the search keys of the sub-managers to further limit the retrieved list of items.

update#

ansi#

Updates an existing review record in the database

mshop/review/manager/update/ansi =
  • Type: string - SQL statement for updating records
  • Since: 2020.10

Items which already have an ID (i.e. the ID is not NULL) will be updated in the database.

The SQL statement must be a string suitable for being used as prepared statement. It must include question marks for binding the values from the review item to the statement before they are sent to the database server. The order of the columns must correspond to the order in the save() method, so the correct values are bound to the columns.

The SQL statement should conform to the ANSI standard to be compatible with most relational database systems. This also includes using double quotes for table and column names.
