want to pass variable to aftersave() method after save(false) in yii - php

Question

Actually,
as you see below code,
in model two functions are calling
$this->sendMailtoTutor(),$this->sendMailtoLearner()
i want to check a condition in model that if that condition will true then only these both function will call otherwise not. Is there any way to pass attributes or variable so that i can check condition in aftersave().
my code is as below
in controller
public function actionBooking()
{
$booking_temp = new BookingTemp();
$this->performAjaxValidation($booking_temp);
if (Yii::app()->request->isPostRequest && Yii::app()->request->getPost('BookingTemp'))
{
$booking_temp->attributes = Yii::app()->request->getPost('BookingTemp');
//echo '<pre>';print_r($booking_temp->attributes);exit;
if ($booking_temp->validate())
{
$extra_price = 0;
$post_data = Yii::app()->request->getPost('BookingTemp');
$cam = Cam::model()->findByPk($post_data['temp_cam_id']);
$data = array();
$data = $post_data;
$data['temp_book_user_id'] = Yii::app()->user->id;
$data['temp_book_cam_price'] = $cam->cam_price;
$data['temp_book_duration'] = $cam->cam_duration;
if ($post_data['temp_book_session'] == 2) {
$data['temp_book_cam_price'] = 2 * $cam->cam_price;
$data['temp_book_duration'] = 2 * $cam->cam_duration;
}
if ($post_data['temp_book_is_extra'] == "Y") {
$extra_price = $cam->camExtras->extra_price;
$data['temp_book_extra_price'] = $extra_price;
}
$price_calculation = CamBooking::price_calculation(Yii::app()->user->country_id, $data['temp_book_cam_price'], $extra_price);
$data['temp_book_processing_fees'] = $price_calculation['processing_fees'];
$data['temp_book_service_tax'] = $price_calculation['service_tax'];
$data['temp_book_total_price'] = $price_calculation['total_price'];
$booking_temp->temp_value = serialize($data);
$booking_temp->user_id = Yii::app()->user->id;
$booking_temp->tutor_id = $cam->tutor_id;
$booking_temp_variable = 'check_aftersave';
$booking_temp->save(false, $booking_temp_variable);
//$booking_temp->saveAttributes(array('tutor_id', 'user_id', 'temp_value'));
$created_at = Yii::app()->localtime->fromUTC($booking_temp->created_at);
$created_at_time = strtotime($created_at);
$end_time = $created_at_time + (60 * 3); // 3 min greater from created
$end_time_format = date("Y/m/d H:i:s", $end_time);
echo json_encode(array(
'status' => 'success',
'temp_guid' => $booking_temp->temp_guid,
'end_time_format' => $end_time_format,
), JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES);
Yii::app()->end();
} else {
$error = CActiveForm::validate($booking_temp);
if ($error != '[]')
echo $error;
Yii::app()->end();
}
}
}
in model
protected function afterSave()
{
if ($this->isNewRecord)
{
$this->sendMailtoTutor();
$this->sendMailtoLearner();
if ($this->is_message == 'Y' && !empty($this->book_message))
{
Message::insertMessage($this->book_message, $this->book_user_id, $this->cam->tutor_id, $this->cam_id);
}
$user_profile_link = CHtml::link($this->bookUser->fullname, array("/site/user/profile", "slug" => $this->bookUser->slug));
$cam_link = CHtml::link($this->cam->cam_title, array("/site/cam/view", "slug" => $this->cam->slug));
$message = "You have a new booking from {$user_profile_link} for your {$cam_link}";
Notification::insertNotification($this->cam->tutor_id, $message, 'book', $this->book_id);
}
return parent::afterSave();
}
How can I perform this?

Answer 1

Hi See if you want to do it in the afterSave() of BookingTemp Model;. Then you can define a variable in that model like
like
class BookingTemp extends CActiveRecord
{
public $booking_temp_variable;
............
}
now assign this variable before saving your model in actionBooking();
as
$booking_temp->booking_temp_variable = 'check_aftersave';
$booking_temp->save(false);// no need to pass a varible
now in your aftersave function you can easily get it like
protected function afterSave()
{
if ($this->isNewRecord)
{
$this->booking_temp_variable; // this has your value
}
return parent::afterSave();
}
Don't forget to keep it in rules as safe
public function rules(){
// your rules
array('booking_temp_variable','safe');
}

What exacly you want to do?
At first you have to know, that when you are calling save() method and u pass there two args - false and, $booking_temp_variable . The first arg says that you do not run validation, the second one is (should be) array of attributes.
