I am having trouble returning a query. I have the following setup Users - users class of all users in the system. Roles - roles class with a set of available roles. E.g. teacher, student, tutor RoleUsers - a mapping table between users and roles as a single user can have multiple roles.
My Users class has this public $hasAndBelongsToMany = array( 'Role' => array( 'className' => 'Role', 'joinTable' => 'role_users', //was roles_users 'foreignKey' => 'user_id', 'associationForeignKey' => 'role_id', 'unique' => true) ); My RolesUser class has this public $belongsTo = array( 'User' => array( 'className' => 'User', 'joinTable' => 'users', 'foreignKey' => 'user_id', 'unique' => true), 'Role' => array( 'className' => 'Role', 'joinTable' => 'roles', 'foreignKey' => 'role_id', 'unique' => true) I am now trying to query the user table to determine the students belonging to the logged in user (a teacher or tutor) public function getStudents(){ $userId = $this->Auth->user('id'); $conditions = array('conditions' => array (array('Role.id =' => 75), //75 is the role for all students array ('RoleUser.id = ' => $userId))); //this is the current logged in user $result = $this->User->find('all',$conditions); debug($result); In the top of my UsersController, I have: public $uses = array('Role', 'RoleUser'); When I run the function getStudents above, I am getting *Error: *Call to a member function find() on a non-object ); -- Like Us on FaceBook https://www.facebook.com/CakePHP Find us on Twitter http://twitter.com/CakePHP --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
