namespacing documentation and many_many question

[Nicolaas Thiemen Francken - Sunny Side Up]

Hi Everyone

I know this is not really the place for little questions - but namespacing is kind of trendy right now ;-)

Is it correct that there is no documentation around SS and namespaces?

Right now I am trying to work out how to do a many_many relationship...

------------------------------------------
Class MyClassWithoutNameSpace

private static $many_many = array(

"Industries" => "\DP\Industry"

);

}

------------------------------------------

namespace DP;

class Industry extends \DataObject  {

private static $belongs_many_many = array(

"MyClassWithoutNameSpaces" => "\MyClassWithoutNameSpace"

);

that does not work...

I am sure this is simple. Can someone point me in the right direction and also - are there any plans for documentations on namespaces?

THANK YOU

Nicolaas

At a minimum, you will have to escape the backslash: "\\MyClassWithoutNameSpace"

I do not assert that this will then work, because I have not yet tried to use PHP namespaces in SilverStripe.

Hi Fred

Tried several variations, but could not make it work.  I am sure it is something very stupid and simple and hence I reckon it would be great to have some basic recipes for namespacing. Here are some discussions I found:

• https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/silverstripe-dev/i1voM50oFMk/n6GNK2-bkDgJ
  
• https://github.com/swipestripe/silverstripe-swipestripe/issues/32
  
• https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-framework/issues/1485
  

They seem to be open ended.  Several people report using namespaces with great success. 

Anyone has some recipes?

I don’t namespace anything that extends DataModel, as I have not heard anything about this being supported. Particularly because the class name is stored in the database.

It seemed to work ;-) most of it anyway...
