Hi,

it may seem strange, but I can't get akelos to set an integer attribute in my tables to the value 0.

I have a products table and model with a 'products_status' field. However,

$product->updateAttribute( 'products_status', n);

works for n != 0 only!

Any idea why?

Tom

ok, I double-checked everything today. It really depends on the value I'm trying to set. Values 1 or 2 work as expected, but 0 doesn't.

Might it be that there's a check via empty() somewhere which concludes that an integer 0 is empty and does not need to be saved?

Ok, heres the test case code:

function test_Product()
{
    $prod = new Product( array( 'products_status' => 2 ));

    print_r( $prod->getAttributes()  );

    $this->assertTrue( $prod->hasAttribute('products_status'),'Attribute doesnt exist.');

    $this->assertTrue( $prod->save(),'Saving the product failed. :(');

    $prod = $prod->find('first');

    $prod->updateAttribute( 'products_status', 0 );

    $prod = $prod->find('first');

    $this->assertTrue( $prod->products_status == 0,'Setting to 0 failed. products_status is '.$prod->products_status);
}

The last assertion fails, saying:

1) Setting to 0 failed. products_status is 2

print_r output includes

[products_status] => 2

I've placed a new post about this topic (sorry for that, founded this one later)

I'm having the same problem Tom has and I've traced the place where the "problem" happens.

Can you explain your last message (the Product: ... and a clean Model-Class thing), I'm still feel newb with Akelos :)

Thanks and sorry for the doubled post :$

ok, with

 products_status int not null

I can reproduce this.

Thanks Kaste for fixing it and for your patience :)

I realize this is an old thread, but I'm still having trouble updating a field to the value of '0'. It just does not save it. I guess I can add my own save callback (one of the onSave or onValidate ones) code that actually performs it's own SQL update query for the field changing to 0, but that's kinda silly.
