Question

I’m currently on a project that receives applications and the part I’m currently on has a grader that assigns a manual grade for the application. The possible scores are enum values stored in a MySQL field. For whatever reason I cannot seem to get the value to actually be save to the database.

I have tried Doctrines Rawsql and I have tried the method below (that I would expect to work). I have done testing to ensure that the values received on the server side to match the SQL enum field. I’ve tried to include as much code as possible that I see as pertaining to the issue, but if there’s more needed just let me know!

Function to update field in DB.

public function executeSetLongAnswerGrade(sfWebRequest $request){

    $application = $this->getRoute()->getObject();
    if($request->isXmlHttpRequest()){
        if($request->getParameter("methodCall") == "Passion"){
            $application->setGradepassion($request->getParameter('value'));
            return true;
        }elseif($request->getParameter("methodCall") == "Grammer"){
            $application->setGradegrammer($request->getParameter('value'));

        }elseif($request->getParameter('methodCall') == "Thought"){
            $application->setGradethought($request->getParameter('value'));
            return true;
        }
        $application->save();
        return true;
    }
}

Route:

ajaxSetLongAnswerGrade:
  url:          /setLongAnswerGrade/:applicationId
  class:        sfDoctrineRoute
  options:      { model: Application, type: object}
  param:        { module: application, action: SetLongAnswerGrade } 
  requirements: 
    id:         \d+ 
    sf_method:  [get]

Ajax Call:

$(document).ready(function(){
$('#passionMSG').hide();
$('#grammerMSG').hide();
$('#thoughtMSG').hide();
$('.passionSuccess').hide();$('.passionError').hide();
$('.grammerSuccess').hide();$('.grammerError').hide();
$('.thoughtSuccess').hide();$('.thoughtError').hide();
$('#passion').change(function()

                url: '<?php echo url_for2('ajaxSetLongAnswerGrade', $application) ?>',
          data: { methodCall: "Passion",
                              value: this.value} ,
          success: function(data) {

                              $('#passionMSG').slideUp(1500)
                              $('.passionSuccess').delay(1300).slideDown(2000);
          },
                      error: function(){

                              $('#passionMSG').slideUp(1500)
                              $('.passionError').delay(1300).slideDown(2000);
                      }
        });
});});

This ended up being in my routing.yml file. The lack of method: find in options: { model: Application, type: object}is what was causing the error. A save was occuring, but not on the record I was wanting (I thought this was implicit but it instantly started working after I added this). final code…

public function executeSetLongAnswerGrade(sfWebRequest $request){
$application = $this->getRoute()->getObject();
if($request->isXmlHttpRequest()){
    $application->{$request->getParameter('value')}($request->getParameter('value'));
    $application->save();
    return sfView::NONE;
}else{
    return false;
}

and the ajax….

$('#passion').attr('disabled', true);
        $('.passionSuccess').hide();
        $('#passionMSG').slideDown(200);
        $('.passionError').hide();
$.ajax({
            url: '<?php echo url_for2('ajaxSetLongAnswerGrade', $application) ?>',
      data: { methodCall: "setGradepassion",
                          value: this.value} ,
      success: function(data) {
          $('#passion').attr('disabled', false);
                          $('#passionMSG').slideUp(1500)
                          $('.passionSuccess').delay(1300).slideDown(2000);
      },
                  error: function(){
                          $('#passion').attr('disabled', false);
                          $('#passionMSG').slideUp(1500)
                          $('.passionError').delay(1300).slideDown(2000);
                  }
    });

I do appreciate the guidance! I was raised Java and still getting used to symfony/php.
