I have used this bit of code in my model..It's probably not the best
way, but it works for me:
function getMostCommented($limit)
{
$commentsCount = $this->Comment->find
(
'all',
array
(
'fields' => array('article_id',
'count(*) as count'),
'conditions' => '1 = 1 GROUP BY
article_id',
'order' => 'count DESC',
'recursive' => -1,
'limit' => $limit
)
);
$articles = array();
foreach ($commentsCount as $comment)
{
$articles = array_merge
(
$articles,
$this->find
(
'all',
array
(
'conditions' =>
array('id' => $comment['Comment']
['article_id']),
'fields' => array
(
'id',
'title',
'slug'
),
'recursive' => -1
)
)
);
}
return $articles;
}
This would return the top $limit article with most comments.
