Wow, this was very cool. Thank you for the advice.
I realized I had forgotten a condition. So this is where I am now:
$array = $this->User->find('all', array(
'fields'=>array('id', 'animal_id'),
'order'=>array('User.id'=>'asc'),
'contain'=>array(
'Animal'=>array(
'fields'=>array
('frontfilename')
),
'Userpage'=>array(
'conditions'=>array(
'or'=>array(
'approved'=>1,
'and'=>array(
'Userpage.approved' => -1,
'user_id' => $id
)
)
),
'order'=>array(
'id'=>'desc')
)
)
)
);
This does not cause any errors. :) However, I'm not quite sure that
this is what I need. To my understand based of the reading on
containable (and the results that I received from the query), this
query will return all users and only return their userpage information
if it matches the conditions. I suppose I could just check each user
from the query to see if that user had any userpage info returned by
the query, but I imagine this would slow things down?
I thank you very much for your time and help. I would appreciate any
advice you can give. :)
Thanks,
~Sarah
