I need a tutorial to read an existing custom table. I have been searching many tutorial but it looks like we have to create setup / install file first. I just want to read all records from my table, like:

SELECT * FROM mytable

The most confusing part for me is in Magento we have 3 models:

  • the model
  • the collection model
  • the resource model

My table name is paketid_booking_result

I want to show it in adminhtml_sales_order_shipment_view

My table has already some records in it.

I have tried to create :

  1. class PaketId_Shipping_Model_Resource_Result_Collection extends Mage_Eav_Model_Entity_Collection_Abstract

    protected function _construct()
    {
        $this->_init('paketid_shipping/result');
    }
    
  2. class PaketId_Shipping_Model_Resource_Result extends Mage_EAV_Model_Entity_Abstract

    public function __construct()
    {
        $resource = Mage::getSingleton('core/resource');
        $this->setType('paketid_shipping_result');
        $this->setConnection(
            $resource->getConnection('shipping_read'),
            $resource->getConnection('shipping_write')
        );
    }
    
  3. class PaketId_Shipping_Model_Result extends Mage_Core_Model_Abstract

    protected function _construct()
    {
        $this->_init('paketid_shipping/result'); //initialized resource model
    }
    

Config file config.xml:

<config>
    <modules>
        <PaketId_Shipping>
            <version>1.0</version>
        </PaketId_Shipping>
    </modules>
    <global>
        <models>
            <paketid_shipping>
                <class>PaketId_Shipping_Model</class>
                <resourceModel>paketid_shipping_result</resourceModel>
            </paketid_shipping>
            <paketid_shipping_resource>
                <class>PaketId_Shipping_Model_Resource</class>
            </paketid_shipping_resource>
            <paketid_shipping_resource>
                <class>PaketId_Shipping_Model_Resource</class>
                <entities>
                    <result>
                        <table>paketid_booking_result</table>
                    </result>
                </entities>
            </paketid_shipping_resource>
        </models>
        <helpers>
            <paketid_shipping>
                <class>PaketId_Shipping_Helper</class>
            </paketid_shipping>
        </helpers>
        <blocks>
            <paketid_shipping>
                <class>PaketId_Shipping_Block</class>
            </paketid_shipping>
        </blocks>
        <resources>
            <shipping_write>
                <connection>
                    <use>core_write</use>
                </connection>
            </shipping_write>
            <shipping_read>
                <connection>
                    <use>core_read</use>
                </connection>
            </shipping_read>
        </resources>
    </global>
    <adminhtml>
        <layout>
            <updates>
                <paketid_booking>
                    <file>shipping.xml</file>
                </paketid_booking>
            </updates>
        </layout>
    </adminhtml>
    <default>
        <carriers>
            <paketid_shipping>
                <active>1</active>
                <sallowspecific>1</sallowspecific>
                <model>paketid_shipping/carrier</model>
                <name>Paket ID Shipping Extension</name>
                <price>10.00</price>
                <title>Paket ID Shipping Extension</title>
            </paketid_shipping>
        </carriers>
    </default>
</config>

The layout shipping.xml :

<layout version="1.0">
  <adminhtml_sales_order_shipment_view>
    <reference name="content">
        <block type="paketid_booking/adminhtml_sales_order_view_info_booking" name="paketid_booking.order.info.booking.block" template="paketid/shipping.phtml" after="order_history" />
    </reference>
  </adminhtml_sales_order_shipment_view>
</layout>

The template shipping.phtml :

<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('PaketId_Shipping');?>
<?php $booking = Mage::getModel('paketid_shipping/result')->getCollection();
<?php foreach($bookings as $booking): ?>
<h1><?php echo $booking->getBookingCode() ?></h1>

Those script above produce nothing, I mean my query didn't return anything, and my shipping.phtml not showing. The existing table paketid_booking_result is coming from another extension, I want to show it in admin page for a reason.

I am new in Magento, I really need advice and best practice for my case. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advanced.

Your resourceModel node is not properly declared in your config.xml

It should match the node that declares the resource models so instead of:

<resourceModel>paketid_shipping_result</resourceModel>

You should have:

<resourceModel>paketid_booking_resource</resourceModel>

Because your resource model declaration is the following:

  <paketid_booking_resource>
    <class>PaketId_Shipping_Model_Resource</class>
      <entities>
        <result>
          <table>paketid_booking_result</table>
        </result>
      </entities>
  </paketid_booking_resource>
