[Alzabo] methodmaker issue

[Otto Hirr]

Greetings,

I have several tables with relationships between them.
All tables are to have some attributes such as
created_by, created_on, modified_by, etc.

If I turn on 'all' in MethodMaker, it will attempt to
create lookup_columns between related tables, including
items like those listed above. Only certain columns should be
used as lookup_columns, but not others.

Furthermore MethodMakers complains about (as example):

MethodMaker: Creating lookup_columns method
MyApp::Data::Row::event->modified_on \
will override the method of the same name in the parent class
MethodMaker: skipping lookup_columns method
MyApp::Data::Row::event->modified_on \
subroutine already exists.

Question, I want to use 'all' for MethodMaker as a general rule,
but then create exceptions...

How can this be done, or am I missing something.

Regards,

..Otto

I think you can skip unwanted column names using customized namer sub.
http://www.alzabo.org/docs/Alzabo/MethodMaker.mhtml#NAMING%20SUB%20EXAMPLE
In your case the following block seems to apply:

...
if ( $p{type} eq 'lookup_columns' )
{
return join '_', map { lc $_->name } $p{foreign_key}->table_to, $p{column};
}
...


if you the column name matches one in your list, simply skip it and go to
the next.
