Usage of $this->items

[carl-mo]

Hi Federico,

The n-n relation saving works perfect and many thanks on that. A new question on displaying on read view, as you mentioned in the README.md the $this->items data holds the object of current view and it's related objects (eg. $this->items in team view contains team object and it's related player object, as their n-n relation is specify in #__foobar_teams_players table). However, when I try to var_dump or log $this->items in both back-end edit and front-end read view, it returns Undefined property: F0FViewForm::$items. For the case $this->item without 's', I got the object for the current view but not the related objects.

Sorry to bother you again, appreciate your effort very much!

BR,
Carl

You have $this->items in a browse view and $this->item in a read or edit view.

See. When I try var_dump the $this->items in a browse view, I cannot see the related object, like your players object in your example

stdClass Object
(
  [title] => Foobar Team
  [players] => stdClass Object
    (
      [0] => Array
        (
          [title] => John
          [...] => ...
        )
      [2] => ...
    )
)

Am I missing out something? Part of my fof.xml are as below:

<fof>
    <common>
        <table name="nanny">
            <relation name="districts" type="multiple" pivotTable="#__nannysearch_nannies_districts" />
            <behaviors>nnrelation</behaviors>
        </table>
        <view name="nannies">
            <config>
                <option name="behaviors">nnrelation</option>
            </config>
        </view>
    </common>

In my case I cannot see the districts object under the nanny object.
And one more question, would this related object magic apply to read/edit view?
