Hello community,

i try to create new ressource und then get the id:

this is my snippet:

  
// Part 1  
    $pagetitle = "my ressource";
    $parent = "0";
    $alias = "myalias";

$doc = $modx->newObject('modDocument');
    $doc->set('parent',$parent);
    $doc->set('pagetitle',$pagetitle);
    $doc->set('alias',$alias);
    $doc->save();
  
// Part
    $newdoc = $modx->getObject('modDocument', array('pagetitle'=>$pagetitle));
    $id = $newdoc->get('id');

problem: the second part get the id from ressource with pagetitle "my ressource". If i have many ressource with the same pagetitle, then it doesn't work. Know anybody better solution?

you can get the id directly from the saved object.

$doc->save();
$id = $doc->get('id');

We need to overwrite default saveNewObject method to get rid of the unsetting pre-specified ID.

$bind = $this->_prepareDataForSave($object);
if ($this->_isPkAutoIncrement) {
unset($bind[$this->getIdFieldName()]);
}
$this->getConnection()->insert($this->getMainTable(), $bind); [ed. note: nazim13 last edited this post 6 years, 4 months ago.]

If you know the resource IDs, you can used those for your search criteria since they will be unique.

If the resources are in different contexts, you can also specify the context_key in your search criteria.

You can also get all the resources with the same pagetitle by using getCollection() instead of getObject().

If the resources have different aliases, you can search for them by alias.

Or you could just stop using duplicate pagetitles.

If I understand what you are doing here, maybe you should have extended xPDOObject and created your own PK instead of going through all of that. It is all in how you define it. I personally stick to the xPDOSimpleObject more often than not and just work with it.
