Re: UUID or INT and association problems
If I'm using the uuid as the id field, then I do something like this: parents idvarchar(36) other fields children idvarchar(36) parent_id varchar(36) Basically all that is different in the DB is the id field is a varchar rather then INT However, generally I am using int fields for the id, and create a second field for uuid only on tables that need to be synced between other servers and clients. parents id int uuid varchar(36) other fields children id int uuid varchar(36) parent_idint On Jan 18, 4:17 am, Pehmolelu wrote: > Im defining a completely new database.

UUID or INT and association problems
Im defining a completely new database. I have now faced a problem which I would describe as "usual" but still could not find good information from web. So here's the problem: I have many guide tables in database such as: Skills Places Activities and so on... Now to all these guide types I'd like to add a comment feature and other similar features. I have many guide types so I dropped the idea of having separate comment table for each of them. I need one comment table. The question is, what is the best way to achieve this? I understand what UUIDs are but I dont understand how they actually work in database with Cakephp or how they are even used. Here's how I thought it works but dont know if its right way and is it how UUIDs are used (or if it is right at all): Create a new table: Guides which could have UUID field Then link all those guide types to (Guide as parent and the other as child) Parent and Child have both UUID fields and when creating a guide Parent and Child gets same UUID so they can be linked. Then link comments to Guides by using UUID field that points to Guide plus seperate id int field for comments.. Please tell me if this is correct way or is it total garbage and if so, how I should do it?

Re: Association problems
My "G" in Game.php is capitalized... I really feel like an
idiot. I just saw in the docs that it has to be lowercase; It's now
working perfectly. Shouldn't it throw a warning or something when
something like this happens? Well anyways, thanks for all the help,
David.

Re: Association problems
Ok I was looking through the docs and found the bindModel funcion.
When I add $this->Game->bindModel(array('belongsTo'=>array
('Genre'=>array('className'=>'Genre'; to my controller it
successfully associates the models. Why is cakePHP not doing this
implicitly?

Re: Association problems
As marcelo said, it would be a belongsTo, not a hasOne. If the genre_id is in the games table, then its belongsTo. If the game_id is in the genre table, its a has One. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.

Your models are not correct. If Game has a genre_id
column, in a CakePHP association you said that Game
belongsTo Genre, so Genre hasOne (or hasMany,
depending of your case) Game.

Association problems
Hello,
I'm new to cakePHP and I don't know why my associations aren't
working. I'm trying to associate a game with a genre. Each game has
a genre_id column which corresponds to a genre in a table named
genres.
My game model looks like this:
Genre model:
Games controller:
set('game', $this->Game->find());
}
}
?>
Now in my games view when I call I try to access $game['Genre'] I get
an undefined index error. Is there something I'm missing here?

no worries, got it sorted:
'SELECT Tag.id, Tag.name, Tag.handle, Tag.description, Tag.tag_count,
Tag.created, Tag.modified, Event.event_start FROM events AS Event,
tags AS Tag JOIN events_tags ON events_tags.event_id = {$__cakeID__$}
AND events_tags.tag_id = Tag.id WHERE Event.event_start > now()'
think I'm starting to realise my SQL needs some work ;)

association problems/sql help
hi,
I'm running into a few issues with 2 HABTM associations. I'm working
on a events listing app (bit like upcoming.org but more specific) and
I have a tagging system in place. I have the following tables:
events
tags
events_tags
I want to be able to list events by date, and also only show events
that come after the current date, basiucally doing:
Event.event_start > now()
but no matter what I try I can't get Cake to do it.
Originally I tried:
var $hasAndBelongsToMany = array(
'Event' =>
array( 'className' => 'Event',
'joinTable' =>
'events_tags',
'foreignKey'=> 'tag_id',
'associationForeignKey' => 'event_id',
'conditions'=> 'Event.event_start >
now()',
'order' => '',
'uniq' => true,
'finderSql' => '',
'deleteSql' => '',
'insertSql' => '',
)
But I get an SQL error because Cake isn't querying the Events table,
so Event.event_start isn't available. I then tried manually entering
the sql using finderQuery like so:
'SELECT Tag.id, Tag.name, Tag.handle, Tag.description, Tag.tag_count,
Tag.created, Tag.modified FROM tags,events AS Tag,Event JOIN
events_tags ON events_tags.event_id = {$__cakeID__$} AND
events_tags.tag_id = Tag.id WHERE events.event_start > now()'
I think it's basically a lack of SQL knowledge that's letting me down,
but I'm not sure how to go about it, what I'm trying to write is:
'select all events with the tag_id of 'nn' that have an event_start
date after the current time' (I think!)
Any help from anyone hugely appreciated!
thanks,
jon
