injecting settings into model

Communities ColdBox HMVC

Hey folks,

I might just be lacking more coffee, but I can’t for the life of me get this to work. i’m injecting a property into a persistent model like so:

property name=“s3_domain” inject=“coldbox:setting:profile_photo_url” persistent=“false” getter=“true” setter=“false”;
property name=“s3_user_storage” inject=“coldbox:setting:s3_user_storage” persistent=“false” getter=“true” setter=“false”;

and when I call the below function the values for s3_user_storage and s3_domain are blank. I have verified that I have these settings in my config. Am I missing something??

public string function getDisplayPhoto(){

if(len(trim(this.getPhoto_URL()))){

return “http://#this.gets3_user_storage()#.#this.gets3_domain()#/#this.getPhoto_URL()#”;

}else{

return “”;

}

}

Thanks.

Try accessing the variable directly using “variables.{property_name}” without using the THIS scope or using the implicit getter.

public string function getDisplayPhoto(){

if(len(trim(this.getPhoto_URL()))){

return “http://#variables.gets3_user_storage#.#variables.gets3_domain#/#this.getPhoto_URL()#”;

}else{

return “”;

}

}

Okay,

so here is my modified User.cfc Model. I didn’t have the inject on the component script and also tried referencing via variables scope. since I have default="’ on the properties it returns an empty string, however i was expecting the injected setting to be there.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

component persistent=true table=“User” extends=“platform.common.model.BasePersistentObject” cachename=“MyCache” cacheuse=“transactional” inject{

property name=“userid” fieldtype=“id” type=“numeric” generator=“native”;
property name=“hash” type=“string”;
property name=“firstname” type=“string”;
property name=“lastname” type=“string”;
property name=“email” type=“string”;
property name=“photo_url” type=“string”;

/** Inject the path for user profile photo storage */

property name=“s3” inject=“coldbox:myplugin:AmazonS3” persistent=“false”;
property name=“s3_profile_photo_url” inject=“coldbox:setting:profile_photo_url” persistent=“false” default="";
property name=“s3_user_storage” inject=“coldbox:setting:s3_user_storage” persistent=“false” default="";

public any function getDisplayPhoto(){

if(len(trim(this.getPhoto_URL()))){

return “http://#variables.s3_user_storage#.#variables.s3_profile_photo_url#/#this.getPhoto_URL()#”;

}else{

return “”;

}

}

}

Do you call it from init method?
If so, dependencies in models are only available after initialization.
