I have a weird problem where I want to store products from my shop in a session. This works well, except for some products. The shop is part of a cms where all products are rendered the same way. When someone adds a product to the shop this will be serialized and send with ajax to a script.
Almost all items are stored, but for some reason some items don't get stored. I can't find a connection or anything and I don't get any errors returned.
So this is the code that stores the product in a session:
$storeItemNumber = (string)$post['itemcode'];
$storeItem = array($storeItemNumber => array(
'title' => $post['title'],
'price' => $post['price'],
'quantity' => $post['quantity']
)
);
$shopSession->$storeItemNumber = $storeItem;
This is an example of a product that gets stored:
array('010101000' => array(
'title' => 'Product title - 15',
'price' => '28.95',
'quantity' => '1',
));
This is an example of a product that doesn't get stored:
array('400002001' => array(
'title' => 'Product title - Pink',
'price' => '5.50',
'quantity' => '1',
));
I already checked if the data gets through alright and it does right until the saving of it in a session.
What could possibly be a reason?
Had a look with a friend of mine and we both concluded it had something to do with the numbers. So I changed the function to the following and Now I'm able to add all the products without a problem.
I'll leave this question open for the time being, because I'm really curious why some numbers are stored and others not and what is a better/cleaner solution then mine.

I'm trying to add a column to the relation table (MM table) in Typo3. Let's say I have my tables user, wanted_car and wanted_car_mm which is my relation table. So in wanted_car_mm I'll know what user want which car, but I want to add the column need_faster in wanted_car_mm, which is a boolean, that tells me who should have it faster. A lot of users could need it faster, there's no order.
How do I add this column, map the value and correctly retrieve this information when I get all my users?
I currently have this in my TCA config for user:
'wanted_cars' => array(
'exclude' => 1,
'label' => 'LLL:EXT:caa_my_plugin/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_db.xlf:my_title',
'l10n_mode' => 'exclude',
'config' => array(
'type' => 'select',
'foreign_table' => 'wanted_car',
'MM' => 'wanted_car_mm',
'MM_insert_fields' => array('need_faster' => '???'),
'MM_table_where' => ' AND wanted_car_mm.need_faster = ???',
'maxitems' => 9999,
'multiple' => 0,
'renderType' => 'selectCheckBox',
),
),
I feel like this is how I should add the column and retrieve it correctly, but I have no clue how to map the correct value.. that I should also put in my where clause.. I don't know how this can be possible going like this, but I can't find any other way of doing it.
The value must be specified when creating a user.
You need an intermediate table for that. The full docs for that can be found on https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/reference-tca/master/en-us/ColumnsConfig/Type/Inline.html
a screenshot and old example which still should work can also be found on https://wiki.typo3.org/Inline_Relational_Record_Editing_Attributes
TLDR:
I've got two models with MM-Relations with different StoragePids defined via Constants in my template.
I don't know how to filter results while querying my data regarding my configured storagePids for my related Model.
Long version:
In my multisite-TYPO3 installation I've got two models "Person" and "PersonalInformation". These models have a MM-Relation defined via TCA.
"Person" contains all general data, stored in a global RecordStore. "PersonalInformation" contains editable Data i.e. images to be editable for each site separately. These data are stored in seperate RecordStores under each site.
That means within each site-template->Constants I've defined the extension-storagePid i.e.: $plugin.tx_myext.persistence.storagePid = 1
This config is on all sites the same, to be able to access the same RecordStore from each Site.
The RecordStore for "PersonalInformation" should be different for each site. So my setup.txt of my extension looks like:
persistence {
storagePid = {$plugin.tx_myext.persistence.storagePid},
{$plugin.tx_tx_myext.persistence.personalInformationStoragePid}
classes {
TYPO3\T3myext\Domain\Model\PersonalInformation {
newRecordStoragePid = {$plugin.tx_myext.persistence.personalInformationStoragePid}
}
}
}
And in my root-site-template under Constants I've defined plugin.tx_myext.persistence.personalInformationStoragePid for each site individually.
My TCA MM-Relation defined for PersonalInformation:
'person' => array(
'exclude' => 1,
'label' => 'LLL:EXT:myext/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_db.xlf:tx_myext_domain_model_person',
'config' => array(
'type' => 'select',
'renderType' => 'selectMultipleSideBySide',
'foreign_table' => 'tx_myext_domain_model_person',
'foreign_table_where' => 'AND 1=1 ORDER BY last_name ASC',
'MM' => 'tx_myext_person_personalinformation_mm',
'size' => 10,
'autoSizeMax' => 30,
'maxitems' => 1,
'minitems' => 0,
'multiple' => 0,
),
),
My TCA MM-Relation defined for Person:
'personalinformation' => array(
'exclude' => 1,
'label' => 'LLL:EXT:myext/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_db.xlf:tx_myext_domain_model_person.personalinformation',
'config' => array(
'type' => 'none',
'readonly' => 1,
'foreign_table' => 'tx_myext_domain_model_personalinformation',
'MM_opposite_field' => 'personalinformation',
'MM' => 'tx_myext_person_personalinformation_mm',
'foreign_table_where' => 'AND tx_myext_domain_model_personalinformation.pid=###The-PID-defined-in-my-site-Const-for-personalInformationStoragePid###'
),
),
If I var_dump my Person in the Frontend all Person.PersonaInformation of all RecordStores are displayed. But I what to show only PersonalInformation Records of the current Site.
The field in the model will always give back all relations, independent of the storage pid. The foreign_table_where in TCA is only for the backend, so this will do nothing for the frontend.
If you want to only get relations from a certain pid, there are several solutions:
Filter it yourself, either in your template, model or controller. Just loop through the relations and check the pid. This option is easiest, but will be slow if you have a lot of relations.
Select the PersonalInformation records separately in your controller using a PersonalInformationRepository with a findByPerson function. This will respect the storagePid set in TypoScript. This will work fine if you only need the information for 1 person. If you need it for multiple persons on 1 page (in a list view for example) you can do this in a custom getPersonalInformation function in your Person model. If it's not cached it could also be slow for lists (depending on the amount of records).
Use a completely custom query using QueryBuilder (https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/CoreApiReference/latest/ApiOverview/Database/QueryBuilder/Index.html). This way you can do it in 1 query with joins.
What is the best solution depends on your exact situation and the number of records.
In my own extension I have a bi-directional mm-relation between categories and items using an mm-table.
mm-table has 4 columns uid_local, uid_foreign, sorting, sorting_foreign.
TCA for both object tables is (only important parts)
categories table:
'items' => array(
'l10n_display' => 'defaultAsReadonly',
'l10n_mode' => 'exclude',
'config' => array(
'type' => 'select',
'renderType' => 'selectMultipleSideBySide',
'foreign_table' => 'tx_records_domain_model_item',
'foreign_table_where' => ' AND tx_records_domain_model_item.sys_language_uid = ###REC_FIELD_sys_language_uid###',
'MM' => 'tx_records_item_category_mm',
),
),
and items table
'categories' => array(
'exclude' => 0,
'l10n_display' => 'defaultAsReadonly',
'l10n_mode' => 'exclude',
'config' => array(
'type' => 'select',
'renderType' => 'selectMultipleSideBySide',
'foreign_table' => 'tx_records_domain_model_category',
'foreign_table_where' => ' AND tx_records_domain_model_category.sys_language_uid = ###REC_FIELD_sys_language_uid###',
'MM' => 'tx_records_item_category_mm',
'MM_opposite_field' => 'items',
),
),
I have 4 languages. Now for my problem.
I have a category with uid 7. The items are added and sorted in my select field. Output in front end is in the given order as set in the backend.
But now – when I update one of the items of the category that item will be placed before all other items in front end while the sorting in the back end is still as it was before the item's update. If i save the category afterwards, the front end will show the desired sorting again.
During my research I found that the mm table shows strange records. When the front end output is correct, I have one record per item in the category, and sorting is from 1 through 13.
After the item's update, I find three new records in the mm table. Three for three additional languages. These three records show my categories local_uid==7, foreign_uids are the uids of the localized item records, sorting_local is equal to 0 for all three records. I suggest this results in the wrong fornt end output although the primary language record still has the old sorting value. That's why it is shown correctly in the backend's category form.
Why do I find those 3 additional records after the item's update. The combination of the primary language's category uid with the localized uids of the items can not be correct.
Any suggestions?
I could make it work by setting l10n_mode => '' in the items table. To be honest, I do not exactly understand what happens there now, but it works.

I have a need to change the default order of the sub panels in the opportunities module. I have been looking for a solution for a while and have not found a solution that works.
I am using SugarCRM CE 6.5.13
Thanks in advance.
Your question is actually unclear. Are you asking for the order of a subpanel meaning how to place one subpanel above another. Or is your question concerning the order of the data inside a subpanel?
A fast response to both is:
in {MainModule}/metadata/subpaneldefs.php there should be the sort order declared for the subpanel like this:
$layout_defs[{MainModule}] = array(
// list of what Subpanels to show in the DetailView
'subpanel_setup' => array(
'{TheSubpanel}' => array(
'order' => 1, // influences the place of the subpanel relative to the other subpanels
'module' => '{TheSubpanel}',
'subpanel_name' => 'default', // attention please check the subpanel module to make sure there is not another setting overriding this setting
'sort_order' => 'desc',
'sort_by' => 'date_entered',
...
check also the file defined above that contains the subpanels fields. In this case it can be found in {TheSubpanel}/metadata/subpanels/default.php
$module_name = '{TheSubpanel}';
$subpanel_layout = array(
'top_buttons' => array(
'where' => '',
'sort_order' => 'desc',
'sort_by' => 'date_entered',
Please consider that after a change you need to run 'rebuild & repair' and if you manually clicked on a sort field then you should clear your cookie cache and log in again too.
There are other questions on stack overflow concering this like how-to-change-default-sort-in-custom-subpanel-sugarcrm
If you do not want code level customization then you can just drag and drop the sequence of subpanels on detail view of record. The sequence of subpanel will be saved.
I've encoutered problem with filtering pages to display in WP query.
I use Codex WP query reference for custom fields with ACF (Advanced Custom Fields plugin - but it doesn't matter, couse it works same as WP custom field) parameters to filter pages.
In "Multiple Custom Field Handling" paragraph, Codex got an example with 2 conditions. We can use OR or AND relation. I works for both until you have 3rd condition (array).
They use example:
'relation' => 'OR',
array(
'key' => 'color',
'value' => 'blue',
'compare' => 'NOT LIKE'
),
array(
'key' => 'price',
'value' => array( 20, 100 ),
'type' => 'numeric',
'compare' => 'BETWEEN'
)
It has only 2 arrays. When I put 3rd, nothing shows. In debug mode I can see an error:
WordPress database error: [Lost connection to MySQL server during query]
When I use AND it works, but I got to use OR. Unfortunately it makes MySQL disconnect.
I've tryed asking phpMySQL for same query WP does. It couses problem - phpMyAdmin says same:
Lost connection
Any Idea?
Maybe I should try different aproach for filtering? (maybe I should use taxonomy?)
Here is code I use:
$query_array = array('relation' => 'OR');
array_push($query_array,
array(
'key' => 'filter1',
'value' => 'value1',
'compare' => 'LIKE'
),
array(
'key' => 'filter1',
'value' => 'value2',
'compare' => 'LIKE'
),
array(
'key' => 'filter1',
'value' => 'value3',
'compare' => 'LIKE'
)
);
$args = array(
'order' => $order_array,
'meta_key' => $meta_key,
'orderby' => $orderby,
'post_type' => 'page',
'paged' => $paged,
'post__in' => $postIDs,
'posts_per_page' => 12,
'paged' => get_query_var('paged'),
'meta_query' => $query_array
);
query_posts($args);
?>
(variables for $args are set of course)
I don't know why I can't use
'compare' => '='
but probably it is why I can't use:
$query_array = array('relation' => 'OR');
array_push($query_array,
array(
'key' => 'filter1',
'value' => array('value1', 'value2', 'value3'),
'compare' => 'IN'
)
);
Just wanted to say that your comment helped me; I'd been butting my head against a very similar problem for a while. I'm using ACF too, and using it to attach items of one post type to another custom post type was easy - for instance, to Attach Person_1 and Person_3 to "Project_A".
This made it easy to list out which users were attached to specific projects. But when it came to do the same in reverse - to show which projects were attached to which users - it became a massive headache.
I finally figured it out, in part thanks to your comment - I'll post my solution here in case someone else comes along with the same problem:
$args = array(
'numberposts' => -1,
'post_type' => 'project',
'meta_query' => array(
'relation' => 'IN',
array(
'key' => 'people',
'value' => ';s:1:"' . $person->ID . '";',
'compare' => 'LIKE'
)
)
);
In short: because the ACF values in repeater fields et cetera are serialized, the compare keyword has to be "LIKE", and I added some context to the value to eliminate false returns - just searching for an ID like "1" would match a lot of the (wrong) posts, but the ";s1;" part ensures that the given value is at index 1, which in my case is the correct index.
So it would need tweaking from case to case. Inspecting what you're trying to match up with var_dumping "get_post_meta($post->ID, 'people')" is helpful for getting the value correct.
