[Deprecated] DMZ 1.5.4 (DataMapper OverZealous Edition)

[eluser]Mirage[/eluser]
So I do have this right now:

Code:

class Plant extends DataMapper {
    var $has_one = array();
    var $has_many = array( 'image' );

Code:

class Image extends DataMapper {
    var $has_one = array();
    var $has_many = array();

I am assuming that I do not have to make a model for the plant_images relation.

Now in a synchronization loop for image resources I have the following:

Code:

foreach ($result as $key => $file)
{
    $info=pathinfo($key);
                
    if (!array_key_exists('extension',$info))
    {
        continue;
    }
    
    if (preg_match('/(_thumb|_small)$/', $info['filename']))
    {
        continue;
    }
    
    $image = new Image();
    $image->where('path', $key)
        ->limit(1)
        ->get();
    
    if (!$image->exists())
    {
        $image->name = $info['basename'];
        $image->path = $key;
    }
    
    // We expect that the plant record exists
    $plant = new plant();
    $plant->where('bailey_id', substr($info['basename'],0,4))
          ->limit(1)
          ->get();
    
    
    $image->trans_begin();
    
    // The image must be saved, no matter what
    log_message('debug', 'Saving Image');
    $image->save();
    
    if($image->trans_status===FALSE)
    {
        $image->trans_rollback();
        log_message('error', 'Transaction failed. Image did not save. '. $image->error->string);
        continue;
    }
    $image->trans_commit();
    log_message('debug', 'Image saved.');
    
    // If we do have a plant record, then we save it along with the image relation
    if (!$plant->exists())
    {
        log_message('error', 'No related plant record. Skip saving relation');
        continue;
    }
    
    // Save the relation
    log_message('debug', 'Saving Plant and image relation');
    $plant->save($image);

This will properly save/update the images. But there are two problems:

1. The plant model insists on the relation being called images_plants. Is there a way to customize this?
2. The call to $plant->save($image) will not create a relation to images_plants.

Pointers, please?

Thanks,
