User/Member logging
7 September 2010 at 6:18pm
I'm building a site for a client with a file download section. I've created a directory under assets/ to upload the files, and then a custom page type (FileViewerPage) that lists the files to logged in Members.
What I'd like to do is have a tab for the file download section in the CMS that shows a log of what time which member is downloading which file.
The way I'm trying to do this is with a FileDownloadLogger:
class FileDownloadLogger extends DataObject
{
static $db = array (
'Filename' => 'Text'
);
static $has_one = array (
'Member' => 'Member'
);
}To link to the file I append to http://example.com/file-home/download?file=test.pdf
Where test.pdf is in /assets/Client/
Then in my FileViewerPage_Controller I have a download() function:
function download() {
$file = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/assets/Client/'.$this->requestParams['file'];
if (file_exists($file)) {//make a new log entry
$log = new FileDownloadLogger;
$log->Filename = $this->requestParams['file'];
$log->Member = Member::currentUser();
$log->write();
//set headers, send the file with readfile()
}
}It's about this point I get stuck... when I look at the database table FileDownloadLogger, MemberID is always 0.
I think what I want from here is to maybe use DataObjectManager or complexfieldtable to show a list of: time, member (name), file.
I couldn't find anything on using a Member in other DataObject classes... is it even "right" to do that?
Any advice on how I should do this would be most appreciated, thanks!

Try
$log->MemberID = Member::currentUserID();
If that still doesn't do it then check that Member::currentUserID(); is actually set by doing something like
Debug::show(Member::currentUserID());
die(); -

Thanks Will, that's working well.
Now how would I list them in the CMS?
This is what I'm working at:
class FileViewerPage extends Page {
public function getCMSFields() {
$f = parent::getCMSFields();
$mgr = new DataObjectManager(
$this,
'FileDownloadLoggers',
'FileDownloadLogger',
array('Member'=>'Member', 'Filename'=>'Filename') //not sure what to do here);
$f->addFieldToTab('Root.Content.Log', $mgr);
return $f;
}}
When I do this I get "[User Error] Uncaught Exception: Object->__call(): the method 'fortemplate' does not exist on 'Member'" - which makes sense, because it doesn't know how to output a member... unfortunately I don't either.
How would I display each member's name? It would also be nice to make the name link to the security section.

You want to display just fields such as
array(
'Member.FirstName' => 'First Name'
..
);It will then look up the has_one on member for the field 'FirstName'

Perfect! Thanks Will!
For the record, here's the code I'm using for the "Log" tab:
class FileViewerPage extends Page {
public function getCMSFields() {
$f = parent::getCMSFields();
$mgr = new DataObjectManager(
$this,
'FileDownloadLoggers',
'FileDownloadLogger',
array('Created'=>'Time', 'Member.Name'=>'Member', 'Filename'=>'Filename'));
$f->addFieldToTab('Root.Content.Log', $mgr);
return $f;
}}
