spot on mate!
in answer to your questions:
1.
- new version of the code yes
- old method (of arrays) employed yes
- I will go about putting in the new style now to see if that has any
impact (sorry i didn't do this before)
2. model relationship is as follows:
/* belongs to */
/* tree relationship with itself */
var $hasOne = array(
'EcomCategoryParent' => array(
'className' => 'EcomCategory',
'foreignKey' => 'parent_id'
)
);
/* has many */
var $hasMany = array(
'EcomCategoryChild' => array(
'className' => 'EcomCategory',
'foreignKey' => 'parent_id'
)
);
/* has and belongs to many */
var $hasAndBelongsToMany = array(
'EcomProduct' => array(
'className' => 'EcomProduct',
'joinTable' => 'ecom_categories_products'
),
'EcomImage' => array(
'className' => 'EcomImage',
'joinTable' => 'ecom_categories_images'
)
);
3. you're absolutely right, findAllThreaded is gold for this purpose.
however, in this instance I require the following information
- path in tree to current category (for the purpose of bread crumbs)
- - currently I haven't figured out how to do this without calling
findAllThreaded from the very top
- information relating to the requested category
- - name, description, etc
- associated images of requested categories
- - however, I do not need associated images of any parent categories
(or categories above requested in tree)
- child categories
- - I only need one level down for this screen
- associated images of child categories
- products of requested category
- - and definitely not products of any other category as this will
become a real problem over time
now, all this is well and good., and since you've introduced me to
expects() i've been trying as much as possible to only request the
information i require. I can't figure out how to extract only the
information i require in this instance.
it seems that if i tell EcomCategoryParent to only expect Parents and
EcomCategoryChildren to only expect Images then that seems to indicate
to EcomCategory that it doesn't want products.
It could be down to my use of the old method.
Will try the new and let you know.
Thanks for your help on this one,
mikee
