Depending on how the data is organised you can try:
$entry->MetaData[EntryMeta::Superscript]['value'] or
$entry->MetaData[EntryMeta::Superscript]->value

Subject: [symfony-users] Is there a better way to find a related record
other than looping?
The schema for this is below, but say I'm working with the Entry
object and the query that loads the Entry object also loads the
related EntryMeta at the same time. Now, I want to find the Entry's
MetaData record that has a particular value for type. Is there a
better way to do this than to loop through all of the Entry's
MetaData?
foreach($entry->MetaData as $meta)
{
if($meta->type == EntryMeta::Superscript)
{
$superscript = $meta->value;
break;
}
}
Is there a way to do something more like the following?
$superscript = $entry->MetaData->findOneByType(EntryMeta::Superscript)-
>value;
And neither of these should query the DB since I've already loaded all
the Entry's MetaData when I originally queried the DB for the Entry.
Is there some way to do this that I'm missing?
Thanks!
