Table names in object.class.php

[dolibarr95]

Feature Request

Hello

Just a question or a misunderstanding : Why in object classes we declare the name of the table. For example:

/**
 * @var string Name of table without prefix where object is stored
 */
public $table_element = 'commande';

But in the queries we write the name of the table

$sql = 'UPDATE '.MAIN_DB_PREFIX.'commande SET facture = 1';
$sql .= " WHERE rowid = ".((int) $this->id).' AND fk_statut > '.self::STATUS_DRAFT;

and not:

$sql = 'UPDATE '.MAIN_DB_PREFIX.$this->table_element .' SET facture = 1';
$sql .= " WHERE rowid = ".((int) $this->id).' AND fk_statut > '.self::STATUS_DRAFT;

Tks for reading.

Probably because it was done after the fact, or because the developer wasn't aware that this property existed, you can make a pull request. In my opinion, you should actually do this
