How many tables do you have?
And if a first name is a property of a user, why would you put it in the
profiles table and not in the users?
Which version of Cake are you using?
If I understand you correctly, you are saying you have a user that has a
profile and a user has many proposals.
If that is the case, I suggest you design the Db first, then bake the 3
models using the bake console, and then adjust the profile relationship
making sure that it is a HasOne relationship as specified in the
documentation.
If you are using Cake 3 edit each of the table files and pick an
appropriate column as the display:
$this->displayField('username');
This is the field that will be shown in select boxes when using find('list')
In your controller where you use the tables you can contain the other
relationships (if they are set up in the table.php) like as follows:
in the Users controller, the Users Table is loaded automatically so you can
reference it through $this->Users
The call you will need to make to search for more than 1 user will be the
find('all'):
$users = $this->Users->find('all', ['contain'=>['Profiles', 'Proposals']]);
For a single user, call the get method with the id of the user:
$user = $this->Users->get($id, ['contain'=>['Profiles', 'Proposals']]);
Once you have contained the other tables you can reference the fields as
follows:
$user->first_name;
$user->profile->id;
$user->proposal->id;
Hope that helps a little...
