I noticed this as well but figured I may have been doing something
incorrectly but moved on to other things.
Here is my example:
I have a users table and I also have a users_users table to facilitate
following/follower type relationships. Each users profile has a
setting to make their account public or private. If their account is
private none of their information should appear in any where on the
site.
I used this to read in a user record:
$this->User->Behaviors->attach('Containable');
$this->User->contain(array(
'Profile',
'Friend.Profile' => array(
'conditions' => array(
'Profile.public'=>1
)
),
'FriendOf.Profile' => array(
'conditions' => array(
'Profile.public'=>1
)
)
));
The queries cake ends up using are as follow:
8 SELECT `Friend`.`id`, `Friend`.`name`, `Friend`.`password`,
`Friend`.`group_id`, `Friend`.`created`, `Friend`.`modified`,
`Friend`.`last_login`, `UsersUser`.`id`, `UsersUser`.`created`,
`UsersUser`.`user_id`, `UsersUser`.`friend_id` FROM `users` AS
`Friend` JOIN `users_users` AS `UsersUser` ON (`UsersUser`.`user_id` =
'4c269d7f-96f8-42ac-8deb-2f5dadcb7441' AND `UsersUser`.`friend_id` =
`Friend`.`id`) LIMIT 2048 27 27 1
Found 27 friends. (I limit to 2048 in the model)
9 SELECT `Profile`.`id`, `Profile`.`user_id`, `Profile`.`created`,
`Profile`.`modified`, `Profile`.`prev_login`, `Profile`.`first_name`,
`Profile`.`last_name`, `Profile`.`display_name`,
`Profile`.`birthdate`, `Profile`.`public`, `Profile`.`photo_url` FROM
`profiles` AS `Profile` WHERE `Profile`.`user_id` =
'4c37bd82-15b0-45d9-a1ef-444badcb7441' AND `Profile`.`public` = 1
1
1 1
Now it begins testing the publicness of the profiles.... not what I
wanted. I expected it to be taken care of in the first query.
This one was public and will be returned.
10 SELECT `Profile`.`id`, `Profile`.`user_id`, `Profile`.`created`,
`Profile`.`modified`, `Profile`.`prev_login`, `Profile`.`first_name`,
`Profile`.`last_name`, `Profile`.`display_name`,
`Profile`.`birthdate`, `Profile`.`public`, `Profile`.`photo_url` FROM
`profiles` AS `Profile` WHERE `Profile`.`user_id` =
'4c295a6c-131c-4895-894a-3a18adcb7441' AND `Profile`.`public` = 1 0
0 0
This one was public.
This continues on for the remaining users listed.
My associations are:
Profile belongsTo user
User hasOne Profile
I'm not sure if any of this helps your research but if I'm "doing it
wrong" I would be glad to hear the correct way.
