Hi all. I'm a Cake newbie so this may be quite obvious to many, but I'm
learning on the job, and I know what I want to achieve, just not too sure
how to achieve it.
In my ProductsController, originally 'cake baked' in 2.0 RC3, I have the
following:
public function view($id = null) {
$this->Product->id = $id;
if (!$this->Product->exists()) {
throw new NotFoundException(__('Invalid product'));
}
if ($this->Product->field('published') == true) {
$this->set('product', $this->Product->read(null, $id));
} else {
// TODO: consider throw new NotFoundException too
$this->Session->setFlash(__('That product is not published.'));
$this->redirect(array('action' => 'index'));
}
}
The purpose of the if/else structure is to see if a given product has been
published or not, which is achieved through a 'published INT (1)' column in
the products table. I believe I am doing this the 'right' way, and it works
fine within /products, but when I come to my CategoriesController's view
action (below, passed /categories/view/1 and so on) it shows all items in a
given category whether published or not:
public function view($id = null) {
$this->Category->id = $id;
if (!$this->Category->exists()) {
throw new NotFoundException(__('Invalid category'));
}
// some logic which checks for products in this category which are not
published.
$this->set('category', $this->Category->read(null, $id));
}
Note: Product belongsTo Category, Category hasMany Product.
I hope this is clear enough.
Cheers.
