Using Concat in TYPO3 Extbase Query

i am struggling a little challenge and i am wondering what the solution might be as I couldn't find an answer in the documentation.

Here is my current working query (part):

$constraints[] = $query->like('kategorie', '%'.$kategorie.'%');

What I want to do is something like:

$constraints[] = $query->like(CONCAT(',', kategorie, ','), '%,'.$kategorie.',%');

Which obviously doesn't work at all. : -)

Every Help is really appriciated. Hope someone know the right syntax. TYPO3 Version is latest 6.1

Thank's alot!

First of all, Extbase query generation didn't change in 6.0, so it's the same for 4.x and 6.x.

Maybe you misunderstand the way Extbase is builing the query.

$query->like('property', '%value%');

will return an object when %value% is contained in "property". Such a property must be defined in the domain model. You can only query properties that have a "getProperty" method in their domain model.

Looking at your code, I think you're finding a way to query for a value being present in a comma-separated value list? Then you would use

$query->in('kategorien', $kategorie);

EDIT:

Your specific problem seems to be that you are not using a true relation for assigning "Kategorien" to your entity. You're using a comma-separated list to hold references to another model. You're discouraged to do so, but it is technically possible and used in the TYPO3 core: The FrontendUser model has a property "usergroup" that works in the same way.

Please have a look at the FrontendUser model: https://git.typo3.org/Packages/TYPO3.CMS.git/blob/HEAD:/typo3/sysext/extbase/Classes/Domain/Model/FrontendUser.php

The annotation of your Kategorien must be correct, e.g.:

/**
* @var \TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Persistence\ObjectStorage<\My\Extension\Domain\Model\Kategorien>
*/
protected $kategorien;

Also make sure that getKategorien is correct.

If you still have problems, keep in mind that the TCA definition must be working to have Extbase work correctly.

In my opinion, a best practise would be to use the category API introduced in TYPO3 6.0: http://wiki.typo3.org/TYPO3_6.0#Category
