I'm learning the framework, and now building an application using it.
I need to get all users that have 'user' or 'staff' role, but I couldn't find about it on the documentation.
Help anyone? (I think it's more an ORM problem the the auth module)

I didn't find an easy way to do this using the ORM, but I have a workaround.
This is my code for anyone who might encounter the same problem with me.
// One for each role
$staffs = ORM::factory('role', array('name' => 'staff'))->users->find_all()->as_array();
$managers = ORM::factory('role', array('name' => 'manager'))->users->find_all()->as_array();
// Merge the results
$results = array_merge($staffs, $managers);
May be you should create a separate ORM method for it? Something like this code:
public function get_users(array $roles)
{
$users = DB::select(array($this->_has_many['roles']['foreign_key'], 'id'))
->distinct(TRUE)
->from($this->_has_many['roles']['through'])
->where($this->_has_many['roles']['far_key'], 'IN', DB::expr('('.implode(',', $roles).')'))
->execute($this->_db);
if (count($users) == 0)
{
// return empty list
return array();
}
// now we need only IDs from result
$ids = array();
foreach($users as $columns)
{
$ids[] = $columns['id'];
}
// load users by id
return $this->where($this->_primary_key, 'IN', DB::expr('('.implode(',', $ids).')'))->find_all();
}
$roles is a role_id array (not names!). PS. I dont remember how to query 'WHERE IN', so I use DB expressions.
