Extbase MVC Framework

the problem is cause by the fact that a relation isnt recognized as dirty if it's attached to a parent.
A dirty workaround is to add the following to line 341 of Backend.php
... || $parentObject !== NULL.

Unfortunatly this results in an update for all related records which could be a huge performance impact depending on the overall number of relational records.

Wouldnt it be better to flag the related record as dirty on "repository->add/attach" ?

For me this issues still seems to exist. I tested with the newest revision (2001).

- I created a new domain model which extends the Tx_Extbase_Domain_Model_FrontendUser (just to add some new fields).
- created a simple registration form and a createAction to save the submitted data
- in the createAction i tried the following:

$userGroupRepository = t3lib_div::makeInstance('Tx_Extbase_Domain_Repository_FrontendUserGroupRepository');
$usergroup = $userGroupRepository->findByUid(1);

$newCustomer->addUsergroup($usergroup);
$this->userRepository->add($newCustomer);

The new customer is persisted, but the relation to the usergroup is not.

If I create a new usergroup:

$usergroup = new Tx_Extbase_Domain_Model_FrontendUserGroup();
$usergroup->setTitle('test');

$newCustomer->addUsergroup($usergroup);
$this->userRepository->add($newCustomer);

After some debugging the problem seems to exist in Tx_Extbase_Persistence_Backend::persistObjectStorage() where the $newUids only get´s some values if the related object is a new object ( if ($object->_isNew()) { .... ).

Since these are my first attempts on extbase I´m not sure if I got everything right, but I hope this helps somehow...

Hi,

I had a problem too saving relations for already existing records.

Now I have debugged a bit and found the following solution:

as Kai right mentioned the Problem seems to be in the method Tx_Extbase_Persistence_Backend::persistObjectStorage() near the foreach of $objectStorage

        foreach ($objectStorage as $object) {
            if ($object->_isNew()) {
                ...
                $insertedObjectUids[] = $object->getUid();
            }
            ...
        }

Here only new Elements will be inserted into the array $insertedObjectUids[]. Is this needed in that if?

I changed it to:

        foreach ($objectStorage as $object) {
            if ($object->_isNew()) {
                ...
#                $insertedObjectUids[] = $object->getUid();
            }
            $insertedObjectUids[] = $object->getUid();
            ...
        }

And now it works for me. But I don't know if there could be some side effects? Because now every object is added to this array. But its just added to the right database column so it shouldn't make a problem.

Maybe this is the fix for next version?
