I’m trying to understand a little more about how EE4 can help with our requirements.
I’ve created a custom model in our add-on that creates a relationship between users. So we’ve created the Model and a DMS.
I’m not entirely sure what I’m missing (as the documentation isn’t quite clear on how to get these working nicely together).
I’ve looked at other add-ons that create their own models and we don’t seem to be doing anything different but can’t seem to get the database to be created.
Our previous solution has been to use the $wpdb global and run raw SQL queries to set up a table and functions to query what we need. However this would be better placed as an EEM so we have better integration with EE4.
DMS
<?php
if (!defined('EVENT_ESPRESSO_VERSION'))
exit('No direct script access allowed');
/**

* @package Event Espresso

class EE_DMS_LD_WP_Users_1_0_0 extends EE_Data_Migration_Script_Base
{
public function __construct() {
$this->_pretty_name = esc_html__("Data Migration to LD WP Users 1.0", "event_espresso");
$this->_migration_stages = array(
);
parent::__construct();
}
public function can_migrate_from_version($current_database_state_of)
{
return FALSE;
}
public function schema_changes_after_migration()

public function schema_changes_before_migration()
{
global $wpdb;
$this->_table_is_new_in_this_version('esp_londec_users', "

);
}
}
Model
<?php
class EEM_LD_User extends EEM_Base
{
/**
* private instance of the EEM_LD_User object
*
* @type EEM_LD_User
*/
protected static $_instance = null;
/**

* @param null $timezone
* @param ModelFieldFactory $model_field_factory
* @throws EE_Error
* @throws InvalidArgumentException
*/
protected function __construct($timezone, ModelFieldFactory $model_field_factory)
{
$this->singular_item = esc_html__('Billing Group', 'event_espresso');
$this->plural_item = esc_html__('Billing Groups', 'event_espresso');
global $wpdb;
$this->_tables = array(
'Billing_Group' => new EE_Primary_Table('esp_ld_users', 'BG_ID'),
);
$this->_fields = array(
'Billing_Group' => array(
'BG_ID' => new EE_Primary_Key_Int_Field('BG_ID', esc_html__("Billing Group ID", 'event_espresso')),
'BU_ID' => new EE_Foreign_Key_Int_Field('BU_ID', __('Billing User ID', 'event_espresso'), false, 0, 'WP_User'),
'DU_ID' => new EE_Foreign_Key_Int_Field('DU_ID', __('Delegate User ID', 'event_espresso'), false, 0, 'WP_User'),
'REG_ID' => new EE_Foreign_Key_Int_Field('REG_ID', __('Registration ID', 'event_espresso'), false, 0, 'Registration'),
)
);
$this->_model_relations = array(
'WP_User' => new EE_Belongs_To_Relation(),
'Registration' => new EE_Belongs_To_Relation()
);
parent::__construct($timezone);
}
}
they all live in core/ in database_migration_scripts and db_models accordingly and have been registered in the addon.
We would need to see the entire add-on, for example, did you register the dms_paths?
No migration stages?
However, I’m asking these questions but the forums aren’t the best place to get an answer to questions like these.
I recommend opening up an issue on the GitHub repo HERE.
Generally, we don’t provide support for 3rd party code, however, I’m sure one of our developers can help point you in the right direction here especially as this relates to our model usage and documentation ๐
