Insert for each multi select

soonerdm

I have a multi select of groups of users (User_Group table) and then a message text area so I can send a message to multiple groups.

I also have it insert into the table group_messages as group_id and message_text

On_after_save loops through the groups and sends the email via an email API I use.

Works great except inserting into the table one row per group_id. I obviously can just do a $this->db->insert() for each iteration but is there a way for FUEL to do this automatically like it does if it were a single insert?

Can you post the model and the on_after_save method?

   function form_fields($values = array(), $related = array())
    {  
        $fields = parent::form_fields($values, $related);

        // put in your own specific code to manipulate the fields here
        $fields['timeposted']['type'] = "hidden";
        $fields['timeposted']['value'] = date('Y-m-d H:i:s',time());

        $fields['packages_id']['type'] = 'multi';
        $fields['packages_id']['options'] = $this->get_packages();

        return $fields;
    }

public function on_after_save($values){

$packages = $values['packages_id'];
if(!empty($packages)) {
    foreach ($packages as $package_id) {

        if ($package_id == 23) {
            $this->freeUsers($values);
        } else {

            $selection = $this->getSelectionById($values['id']);


            $users = $this->getUsersForSelection($package_id);

        }
    }
}

The model's save() method can handle a single array of values or an array of array values and it will detect and save a single or multiple (check out the MY_Model::save() method). Save will detect if there is a supplied primary key value and if it exists it will use update, otherwise it will use insert.
