Hey—

maybe for the uninitiated, it would be good to have a sticky post explaining what the Open Source Office Hours are,

and when they usually take place?

If I understand correctly, they are a sort of collective Q&A moment?

Sounds really useful, though for now I’ve only seen these posts (‘starting now’) several days later ;)

Also, I seem to have trouble posting new topics to this discussion board. I’ve tried a few times to post a question about accessing ID’s with a dot in it.

Are they maybe moderated because the question is too basic?

Cheers, Thanks!

So I’m just going to post my question here (sorry for the off topic!) because this seems to work.

My question is due to the lack of a findOne function.

I want to fetch one object of whom I know the id.

With this code it is working for me:

app.get('/w/:slug', function(page, model, _arg, next){

    var slug = _arg.slug;

    var text = model.at('documents.' + slug);

    text.subscribe(function(err) {

        model.ref('_page.text', text);

        page.render("write"); 

    });

});

However, know the ids will have dots in them, which breaks the standard way to fetch them.

So I query for the id.

However, now my code doesn’t work anymore because the result is an array.

app.get('/w/:slug', function(page, model, _arg, next){

    var slug = _arg.slug;

    var text = model.query('documents', {'_id' : slug});

    text.subscribe(function(err) {

        model.ref('_page.text', text);

        page.render("write"); 

    });

});

This code itself works, but I have to change all the templates to reference _page.text[0],

and the showdown component I was using stopped working.

So I love if I can still have a reference to just the one object like I had before.

What is the best way to achieve this?

Thanks!

Hmm, ok retrying to post—

I tried to reply before…

});

However, query gives an array.

Now I have to go into my template and change all the refererences to _page.text to _page.text[0]

Also the codemirror widget I was using isn’t working anymore.

So I would like to find a way to have page._text reference the object directly, not the array.

What is the best way to work around this?

Thanks!

Hey—

You can use model.ref('_page.text', 'documents.'+slug);

[Artur Zayats]

Also instead of query you can use:

var text = model.at('documents.'+slug);

text.subscribe(function(){

  model.ref('_page.text', text);

  page.render("write"); 

});

or 

model.subscribe('documents.'+slug, function(){

  model.ref('_page.text', 'documents.'+slug);

  page.render("write"); 

});

Hey, thanks for your reply!

The thing is, I can’t use derby’s path notation because I use dots in my id (the reason I tried to work-around using query)

Because if I pass a slug like: 'foo.html'

I get errors such as:

Error: Cannot subscribe to a path within a document: documents.foo.html

Ok. you of course can use the workaround with your query:

model.ref('_page.texts', text);

model.ref('_page.text', '_page.texts.0');

But I think it's not a good idea to use dots in your ids :(
Maybe you should preprocess ids before add/subscribe?

[Artur Zayats]

Or, maybe just put slug at some other field (not in id)

[Schrijver]

That work-around does it for me, great!

And I guess I’d also need to do that if the slug is on another field,

because finding on another field than _id means using the query method if I’m not mistaken.

Thanks, Cheers

This is a great point. I'll add it to the mailing list description!

I'm not sure why your message was pending on the meetup list, i let it thru even though it already sent? sorry for the weird google groups stuff.

i did update the description with a link to previous office hours and the current weekly time, thanks for the idea!
