@splittingred how u used $x->get($key) when $key is not exist in db?

hi
i am confused a lot by seeing this code in gallery snippet

$item->get(’thumbnail’,array(
’w’ => (int)$modx->getOption(’thumbWidth’,$scriptProperties,100),
’h’ => (int)$modx->getOption(’thumbHeight’,$scriptProperties,100),
’zc’ => (boolean)$modx->getOption(’thumbZoomCrop’,$scriptProperties,1),
’far’ => (boolean)$modx->getOption(’thumbFar’,$scriptProperties,’C’),
));
there is no thumbnail filed in itemTable
but how you are able to assign this?

can you explain me how its worked

checked the public function get($k, $format = null, $formatTemplate= null) function too
spent a lot of time on finding the magic behind it but no luck

please please explain how u did it iam very curious about it

thanks

galItem->get() (in galitem.class.php) is where the magic is. The first case in the switch statement is what handles get(’thumbnail’).
It’s a good example of how easy it is to override an xPDOObject, or in this case, xPDOSimpleObject, so that get() can return things other than db fields.
