Is it possible??? i know questions relating to this are posted ad infinitum on this forum - i have searched high and low, far and wide but i have hit the "proverbial" - i am going to post this and walk away for a while, and in the meantime some generous soul might shed some light....here goes.........
I have product datasheets which consist of tables such as the following; Ingredients CAS No Proportion TWA mg/m3 STEL mg/m3 Amoxycillin 61336-70-7 30-60% not set not set hazardous NA to 100% NA NA Each product is composed of 1 or more ingredients - each ingredient can belong to one or more products. Presently i have a; 1. Datasheet model/table 2. Ingredient model/table (includes a cas no. field) 3. Proportion model/table 4. TWA model/table 5. STEL model/table I have also defined a habtm between ingredients and datasheets ( datasheets_ingredients). table: id | datasheet_id | ingredient_id 1 5 89 i also need to link the other three models in a habtm relation with datasheets_ingredients because each field (proportion,twa,stel) are dependent on the combined fields of datasheet_id and ingredients_id. For clarity, i cannot select a "proportion" field until i know both the datasheet id and the ingredient id - i cannot select the proportion field(or twa ,stel) with one or the other it must be both fields. I have attempted multiple habtm tables ie using the above as an example table: datasheet_ingredient_proportion id | datasheet_ingredient_id | proportion_id 1 1 6 this did not work. I tried a habtm datasheets_ingredients tabel and also included foreign key fields; using the datasheets_ingredients model and adding a belongsTo association with the three models and including a hasMany association in their models - to no avail table: id | datasheet_id | ingredient_id | proportion_id | twa_id | stel_id 1 5 89 12 8 3 I have also read numerous other posts which have proved useful but i cannot seem to crack it - i can get the result i need with handwritten sql - but i would rather attack it using cakes process. http://groups.google.com/group/cake-php/browse_thread/thread/8870566a07bf499/9f453850323ae695?lnk=gst&q=HABTM+%2B+%22multiple%22#9f453850323ae695 http://debuggable.com/posts/modeling-relationships-in-cakephp-faking-rails-throughassociation:480f4dd6-b990-485e-abe4-4baccbdd56cb http://www.cricava.com/blogs/index.php?blog=6&title=modelizing_habtm_join_tables_in_cakephp_&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 http://groups.google.com/group/cake-php/browse_thread/thread/7201009ad57b8263/1de876ae4eb416a8?lnk=gst&q=%22habtm%22+%2B+%22belongsto#1de876ae4eb416a8 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
