Hi All,

I was just wondering if SIlverstripe had anything similar to the get_object_or_404 method in django?

Basically I want to return a 404 error if dataobject::get returns an empty object set.

Any help greatly appreciated :).

Wow a whole year and I still haven't found an answer to this.

Anyone got any ideas??

Mo

I use something like this to return a 404:

function Article(){	
		$params = $this->getURLParams();
		if($url_segment = $params['ID']){
			$article = DataObject::get_one('Article',"URLSegment = '".(string)$url_segment."'");
			if(!$article && !Director::redirected_to()){
				$errorPage = DataObject::get_one('ErrorPage');
				Director::redirect($errorPage->Link(),404);	
			} else{
				return $article;	
			}
		}
	}

Hmm, yea, thats an idea. Hadn't thought of that.

Nice one Martijn!

Cheers

Or to return a 404 you can do the following in a controller.

$this->httpError(404);
