hi, I'm running into a few issues with 2 HABTM associations. I'm working on a events listing app (bit like upcoming.org but more specific) and I have a tagging system in place. I have the following tables:
events tags events_tags I want to be able to list events by date, and also only show events that come after the current date, basiucally doing: Event.event_start > now() but no matter what I try I can't get Cake to do it. Originally I tried: var $hasAndBelongsToMany = array( 'Event' => array( 'className' => 'Event', 'joinTable' => 'events_tags', 'foreignKey' => 'tag_id', 'associationForeignKey' => 'event_id', 'conditions' => 'Event.event_start > now()', 'order' => '', 'uniq' => true, 'finderSql' => '', 'deleteSql' => '', 'insertSql' => '', ) But I get an SQL error because Cake isn't querying the Events table, so Event.event_start isn't available. I then tried manually entering the sql using finderQuery like so: 'SELECT Tag.id, Tag.name, Tag.handle, Tag.description, Tag.tag_count, Tag.created, Tag.modified FROM tags,events AS Tag,Event JOIN events_tags ON events_tags.event_id = {$__cakeID__$} AND events_tags.tag_id = Tag.id WHERE events.event_start > now()' I think it's basically a lack of SQL knowledge that's letting me down, but I'm not sure how to go about it, what I'm trying to write is: 'select all events with the tag_id of 'nn' that have an event_start date after the current time' (I think!) Any help from anyone hugely appreciated! thanks, jon -- jon bennett t: +44 (0) 1225 341 039 w: http://www.jben.net/ iChat (AIM): jbendotnet Skype: jon-bennett --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
