Current Employer?
October 29, 2009, 04:56:40 am
In 3.0, when I fill in the current employer box for an individual, shouldn't it automatically create the employer/employee relationship? I am not seeing this behavior and am scratching my head on why. Am I missing a new setting?

It's working as it should on the demo site. What am I doing wrong on my site? Is there some setting? I have latest 3.0 stable version.

Whoa, something is extremely buggy on my site!

I just tried to do this again. I filled in my current employer box with an existing organization, submitted the form. I then got a fatal error of the following:

Emily - quick scan of backtrace looks like the problem might be in your Relationship Types configuration. You should have a relationship type where the "name_a_b" value is "Employee of". You might need to check via phpMyAdmin - since only the label_a_b values are displayed in the UI.

i've modified the code for 3.0.3 to do a fatal abort with a nice message in such situations. Not great, but at least users/admin wont be wondering what happened

here's what's in my relationship_type table as the first entry:
id = 4     
name_a_b = Employee of (Organization)     
label_a_b = Employee of (Organization)     
name_b_a = Employer of     
label_b_a = Employer of     
description: Employment relationship.     
contact_type_a = Individual     
contact_type_b = Organization     
is_reserved = 1     
is_active  = 1

is that all looking good or is there a change? should name_a_b be reduced to just be 'Employee of' instead of with org in parentheses?

Yes! Something nice and simple to fix it. Relationship is now getting created.

Question: is that why I was getting the 'not of type integer' error? What's the deal with that?

Yes - that was the problem. The code was trying to find that relationship type using the expected 'name' value - and that fetch returned null - so when the next step tried to create the relationship - the query constructing code was expecting an integer value (relationship_type.id) - but didn't get one. Lobo's fix to throw a fatal error there will at least "stop the presses" with a better error message.
