Sorry to beat what is certainly a very uncomfortable horse...
The db is as follows
Users HABTM Groups HABTM Reports (using Group_Users and Group_Reports
tables to manage relationships)
I want to have conditions on both users and reports while returning a
particular report only once. Basically I'm using groups for access
control. Session gives user id, which is a member of one or more
groups, each giving access to one or more reports. The problem is that
just about any query I build using 'the framework' gives me multiple
copies of the report (because a report can be in more than one group
and a user could be in more than one of those groups.). I can do this
with a SQL query, but then I lose all that paginate magic and
potential future magic. I could also run a array_unique on the
resultset, but that too has it's problems.
Here's an example of what I was attempting to use.
$this->paginate = array(
'fields' => 'id',
'conditions' => $userConditions,
'contain' => array(
'Group' => array(
'fields' => array(),
'Report' => array(
'conditions' => $reportConditions,
'fields' => $reportFields
)
)
)
);
Where among other things userConditions includes User.id =>
Session['User']['id']
and Reports are filtered by type
