Weird Relation Query.

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

Hi,

I have this tables:




product (

  id,

  ...

);


product_translation (

  product_id,

  lang_code,

  name,

  ...

);

When I get the Product with its relation from product_translation I want it according to the user selected language, so on the relation I have:




  'productTranslation' => array(self::HAS_ONE, 'ProductTranslation', 'product_id',

    'condition'=>Yii::app()->db->quoteColumnName('productTranslation.lang_code')."='".Yii::app()->user->language."'"

  ),

The problem is that the translation in the user language might not exist, so get it in the default language.

How can I do this?

Each request comes from specific client-user, so you have to use Yii::app()->language

If you want to set the language to the user, you have to do that manually (for example with database user + AR model)

Yes, right, it’s Yii::app()->language;

But what about if the translation doesn’t exist in the user language? I need to get it in the default language.

In your config/main.php you could set this


 'sourceLanguage' => 'en', //the source language

 'language' => 'el', //the default language

If you do not set this and there is no translated text, Yii will not translates your text, so the native text of code will be displayed
