If you want to sort on the column as well, I suggest you create a "counter cache". Basically, you store the count of subitems in a field in the main table, which is updated on create/update/delete.
There is even a behaviour that can do this automatically for you. http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/countercache-or-counter_cache-behavior Cheers, Adam On Feb 25, 3:02 pm, Andrew Allen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > This may be silly since there is a better to do this I'm sure, but is > there a way to count the number of items in a subselect on pagination? > Or is there a way to count the number of items that are linked in a > hasMany relationship. i.e. can you output the number of comments that > are associated with a post in a blog? > > Thank you in advance. > > Sincerely, > ~Andrew Allen --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
