Instead of putting down all the work that has gone into CakePHP, why don't you try and solve the problem yourself? You have the source code, so why can't you fix it and supply a patch. I mean, if it's really so simple, it should be easy to fix. Right? I know this will shock a lot of people on this list, but the people who contribute to Cake do it FOR NOTHING. As a result, bugs may tend to languish far longer than they would if there was a dedicated core of people getting paid to fix it. I don't know about you, but by the time my day job is over I usually only have a few brain cells left to devote to thinking about other projects, so I can understand why some bugs sit around. I am in agreement that this bug (which is almost a year old) should be looked after. Only question is, who is going to do it? Not you, from the sounds of it. Associative data mapping is HARD. This bug in particular is hard. Maybe I'm stupid, but this doesn't look like a non-trivial fix. It requires a firm understanding of how the data mapping works, and there are probably under a dozen people who fully understands how it works. I am not one of those people, but I do know some of those people. Hopefully one of them kept reading this thread after "Am I choosing the right framework" and snarky comments about CakePHP not needing documentation and giving surly customer service. I don't remember anyone being promised anything. -- Chris Hartjes My motto for 2007: "Just build it, damnit!" @TheKeyboard - http://www.littlehart.net/atthekeyboard --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
