Hi, I'm trying to design my app to have fat models and skinny controllers where possible but having a problem with one particular part of that: retrieval of associated models.
I have models Foo and Bar, where (Foo hasOne Bar) and (Bar belongsTo Foo), which map to DB tables 'foos' and 'bars' respectively. When data is retrieved from the 'foos' table, it needs to be modified for the controller - the obvious place for this is Foo::afterFind(). The trouble I have is if I do $this->Bar->find(...) then the associated Foo data isn't passed through the Foo model, so those modifications have to be performed in the BarController instead. Am I missing something, approaching this in the wrong way, or is this just the way it is? Is there any way I can get around this without having to duplicate code? The only idea that springs to mind is to make Foo::afterFind() call a function Foo::modifyData() which the BarController can call as well with the results. I'm using CakePHP 1.1.18.5850 and PHP 5.2.4 on Win32. I can't upgrade to v1.2 as this is part of a product we sell.
