Hi, first of all I am a newbie so this might be a very easy question. But not for me ;-)
How can I retrieve data with the find method while grouping and retrieving the maximum value of a second table? The beginning of the Controller class: class InvoicesController extends AppController { var $name = 'Invoices'; var $helpers = array('Html', 'Form'); var $uses = array('Installation'); function index() { $fields = array('Installation.name', 'MAX(Invoice.period_end)' ); $group = array('Installation.id'); $installations = $this->Installation->find('all', array ( 'fields' => $fields, 'group' => $group )); $this->set('installations', $installations ); } When I call this I got the error message: *SQL Error:* 1054: Unknown column 'Invoice.period_end' in 'field list' [*CORE/cake/libs/model/datasources/dbo_source.php*, line *525*] Code <javascript:void(0);> | Context <javascript:void(0);> $sql = "SELECT `Installation`.`name`, MAX(`Invoice`.`period_end`), `Installation`.`id` FROM `tom_installations` AS `Installation` WHERE `Installation`.`active` = 1 GROUP BY `Installation`.`id` " $error = "1054: Unknown column 'Invoice.period_end' in 'field list'" $out = null | $out = null;| | if ($error) {| | trigger_error("<span style = \"color:Red;text-align:left\"><b>SQL Error:</b> {$this->error}</span>", E_USER_WARNING);| DboSource::showQuery() - CORE/cake/libs/model/datasources/dbo_source.php, line 525 DboSource::execute() - CORE/cake/libs/model/datasources/dbo_source.php, line 201 DboSource::fetchAll() - CORE/cake/libs/model/datasources/dbo_source.php, line 337 DboSource::read() - CORE/cake/libs/model/datasources/dbo_source.php, line 647 Model::find() - CORE/cake/libs/model/model.php, line 1961 InvoicesController::index() - APP/controllers/invoices_controller.php, line 22 Object::dispatchMethod() - CORE/cake/libs/object.php, line 115 Dispatcher::_invoke() - CORE/cake/dispatcher.php, line 227 Dispatcher::dispatch() - CORE/cake/dispatcher.php, line 194 [main] - APP/webroot/index.php, line 88 *Query:* SELECT `Installation`.`name`, MAX(`Invoice`.`period_end`), `Installation`.`id` FROM `installations` AS `Installation` WHERE `Installation`.`active` = 1 GROUP BY `Installation`.`id` So cake does not include the Invoice table in the sql query. So how can I do this? Thanks a lot in advance.
