Data model¶
This extension is based upon the new framework of extbase / fluid included in TYPO3 4.7 (and later) The following graphic shows the extension model
Reference¶
Except the objecttype Tx_Extbase_Domain_Model_FrontendUser which is build into extbase all further objects are stored in their own tables:
| Property | Title | 
|---|---|
| Tx_ThRating_Domain_Model_Ratingobject | Root entity holds rating objects | 
| Tx_ThRating_Domain_Model_Stepconf | Storing the step configuration | 
| Tx_ThRating_Domain_Model_Stepname | Language aware names of the steps | 
| Tx_ThRating_Domain_Model_Rating | Concrete instances of ratingobects | 
| Tx_ThRating_Domain_Model_Vote | User votes of the rating | 
| Tx_ThRating_Domain_Model_Voter | Proxy entity to frontend users | 
Tx_ThRating_Domain_Model_Ratingobject¶
Holds the basic information on anything you´d like to rate
- ratetable: the name of the table you like to rate
 - ratefield: the fieldname within the table you like to rate (distiguishing fields makes it possible to configure multiple ratings on the same tables)
 - stepconfs: Each ratingobject must have ratingsteps configured (see Tx_ThRating_Domain_Model_Stepconf)
 - ratings: To do ratings on each row of a table this link is required (see Tx_ThRating_Domain_Model_Rating)
 
Tx_ThRating_Domain_Model_Stepconf¶
Holds all information how to rate an object
- ratingobject: Hold the connecting information to the parent object (Tx_ThRating_Domain_Model_Ratingobject)
 - steporder: ongoing sequence counting the number of ratingsteps
 - stepweight: every step could have a different weight configured (eg. 3 steps having the second weighted double). Normal value would be 1 on every step.
 - Stepname: links to the localized stepname if entered (see Tx_ThRating_Domain_Model_Stepname)
 - Votes: Every vote given by a frontend user is connected to its ratingstep (see Tx_ThRating_Domain_Model_Vote)
 
Tx_ThRating_Domain_Model_Stepname¶
Holds localized speaking texts for stepconf entries
- stepname: speaking text to set a name on every step. This would be displayed in different cases.
 - Stepconf: Hold the connecting information to the parent object (Tx_ThRating_Domain_Model_Stepconf)
 
Tx_ThRating_Domain_Model_Rating¶
Holds information of every rated row of an object
- ratingobject: Hold the connecting information to the parent object (Tx_ThRating_Domain_Model_Ratingobject)
 - ratedobjectuid: hold the identifier of the rated row
 - votes: Every vote given by a frontend user is connected to its rating (see Tx_ThRating_Domain_Model_Vote)
 - currentrates: calculated rating statistic summaries for performance reasons
 
Tx_ThRating_Domain_Model_Vote¶
Holds information of every vote given by frontend users
- vote: Each vote is linked to a ratingsteps (see Tx_ThRating_Domain_Model_Stepconf)
 - ratings: Each vote is linked to a rating (see Tx_ThRating_Domain_Model_Rating)
 - voter: Each vote is linked to a valid frontend user (see Tx_Extbase_Domain_Model_FrontendUser)
 - hasRated(): checks if the FE-User has already rated
 - hasAnonymousVote: checks if anonymous rating has already been done
 - isAnonymous(): checks if this is an anonymous vote
 
Tx_ThRating_Domain_Model_Voter¶
Wrapper object for default Tx_Extbase_Domain_Model_FrontendUser
