How to get current entry id or current entry in list operation?

[blessen131]

getCurrentEntryId and getCurrentEntry is returning false in ListOperation
$this->crud->getCurrentEntryId()
$this->crud->getCurrentEntry()

The getCurrentEntryId() and getCurrentEntry() methods are not designed to work in the List operation, as they are intended for operations that work on a single entry, such as Show, Update, or Delete operations.

In the List operation, you're dealing with multiple entries, so there isn't a concept of a "current" entry. These methods will return false or null in the List operation context.

If you need to access individual entry IDs in the List operation, you should iterate through the entries returned by the List operation. You can use the getEntries() method to get all entries for the current CRUD query:

$entries = $this->crud->getEntries();
foreach ($entries as $entry) {
    $id = $entry->id;
    // Do something with the ID
}

This approach is mentioned in the CRUD API documentation:

$this->crud->getEntries();

If you need to perform actions on individual entries in the List operation, you might want to consider using column buttons or bulk actions instead, which are designed for interacting with specific entries in the list context.

Remember that getCurrentEntryId() and getCurrentEntry() are primarily used in operations that deal with a single entry, such as Show, Update, or Delete operations.

Hey @blessen131

The bot is explaining it right. The getCurrentEntryId() and getCurrentEntry() are meant to work on single model Operations like show, edit, delete etc.

• If you want to alter the cell value on a row per $entry basis, you can use a closure field or create an accessor.

• If you want to control access to row operations per $entry basis, you can handle access to operations via:

$this->crud->operation('list', function() {
        $this->crud->setAccessCondition(['update', 'delete'], function ($entry) {
            return $entry->id===1 ? true : false;
    });
});
