Hi
 
I'm new, I have a  question. Is it possible to create a relation_n_n that contains data (date, for example) you must update.
 
I show you an example:
 
I have 2 tables
Employe (id_employe, nom, prenom)
Action(id_action, type, libelle)
 
and the relation table
EmployeAction (id_employe, id_action, date)
 
I would like to update the  "EmployeAction" table from the "Employe" table.
Is this possible with set_relation_n_n () function? How?
 
Can you help me please!!!

Hello and welcome to the forums.

Actually this has nothing to do with the fact that you are using a set_relation_n_n.

At your employe table you use one (or all) of these functions:

before_insert

after_insert

before_update

after_update

 

Which one(s) you use and what you do within these callbacks it depends on the logic you want to implement.

You should try each of all functions from the API page before you will make the project. you will be spent a little time but then you won't have any questions. Really, it will save your time.

You are right, I 'll try each of all functions from th API. If I encounter some problems, I think I always ask for a little assistance.
