But keep in mind that if someone installs wp-mvc (for another plugin) while your plugin is activated it’s gonna break the WordPress installation( Fatal error cannot redeclare class XXX). Removing the `require 'wp_mvc.php'` should be enough to fix it.

Your plugin needs WP-MVC to be loaded in order to work. * I guess you could try to bundle your plugin and wp-mvc together so wp-mvc won’t show in the plugin tab. * Try moving the content of the wp-mvc folder in your plugin folder (so you will have my-plugin/core) and add `require 'wp_mvc.php'` on top of your my_plugin. php file. * This won’t work if you have more than one plugin using wp-mvc though. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP MVC] [Plugin: WP MVC] accessing associated models in view](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-mvc-accessing-associated-models-in-view/) * [dodmax](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dodmax/) * (@dodmax) * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-mvc-accessing-associated-models-in-view/#post-2865320) * Hi davelopware, * Glad that I could help! No extensive testing on my side yet, have to work really quickly for now 🙂 * I like WP-MVC, it lacks some features but it’s an amazing piece of work and it works well. It’s true that there is some interesting hacks on Github.

Taking the example of a match between 2 teams. * The Match model will contain: * ``` var $belongs_to = array( 'Hometeam' => array('foreign_key' => 'home_team_id', 'class' => 'Team'), 'Awayteam' => array('foreign_key' => 'away_team_id', 'class' => 'Team') ); ``` * ‘class’ => ‘Team’ refer to the Team model name. The keys of the belongs_to array(‘ Hometeam’, …) must have the first letter capitalized, rest lowercase, no underscore or other stuff. * The Match admin controller will contain: * ``` var $default_columns = array( 'hometeam' => array('value_method' => 'admin_column_hometeam'), 'awayteam' => array('value_method' => 'admin_column_awayteam'), ); public function admin_column_awayteam($object) { return $object->awayteam->name; //note that awayteam is lowercased } public function admin_column_hometeam($object) { return $object->hometeam->name; } ``` * Somehow something magic happens when calling `$object->hometeam->name` that will query the team name from the database and set it (you can see that $object->hometeam is not set before the call and is after). * I’m still having some trouble populating the team name on the edit form since` var $includes = array('Hometeam');` is causing an error… * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP MVC] [Plugin: WP MVC] Accessing other Models from a controller](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-mvc-accessing-other-models-from-a-controller/) * [dodmax](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dodmax/) * (@dodmax) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-mvc-accessing-other-models-from-a-controller/#post-2558302) * Here is a little patch that would allow to reference a sub object in the format‘ Venue.name’ * wp-content\plugins\wp-mvc\core\helpers\mvc_helper.php line 188 * ``` public function admin_table_cell($controller, $object, $column) { if (!empty($column['value_method'])) { $value = $controller->{$column['value_method']}($object); } else { $subs = explode('.', $column['key']); foreach ($subs as $sub) $object = $object->$sub; $value = $object; } return ''.$value.''; } ``` * You could also patch the header cell function line 171 for the name to display automatically: * ``` public function admin_header_cell($label) { return ''.MvcInflector::titleize(str_replace('.', ' ', $label)).''; } ``` * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP MVC] [Plugin: WP MVC] accessing associated models in view](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-mvc-accessing-associated-models-in-view/) * [dodmax](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dodmax/) * (@dodmax) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-mvc-accessing-associated-models-in-view/#post-2865122) * Hi, * Try adding `var $includes = array('JungleBranch');` in your model. This way it should query it for you. Also try to print_r($object) somewhere to make sure it is / is not inside.
