Hi, Over the past year I have built a very unwieldy complex event management system for an education science festival as my first CakePHP project but I am having trouble getting my head around what is probably a very basic CakePHP problem. I may even be going about this completely the wrong way.
To simplify, I have 3 models - *Event, Request *and *User*. *Users* have 3 roles - *Admin*, *Schools* and *Provider*. *Providers* offer events and *Schools *can request them, with details stored in the related tables. *Admins w*ould then check them over and click 'Accept' to then forward the *Schools* info to the *Providers *etc. Now, as both *Providers* and *Schools* are *Users*, and as I can only have one user_id field in my *Requests* table, I called the *Providers* field providers_id The problem is that when I'm trying to output a list of *Request *data to my view (on screen and via CSV file) with the *Providers* details and *Schools* details, it can't pull anything for the *Providers *but their ID. How do I get their details into the data I'm sending to my view? I've tried the following Hash function but it puts the required details of the provider from the last row into ALL the rows. I tried it without the {n} expression and it just throws an error. Many thanks, MarkB. $requests = $this->Request->find('all'); foreach ($requests as $row): $provider = $this->Request->User->findById($row['Request']['provider_id']); $providerName = $provider['User']['firstname'] . ' ' . $provider['User']['surname']; $data = Hash::insert($requests, '{n}.Request.provider', $providerName); endforeach; $this->set('requests', $requests); -- 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.
