Re: Help with associations
You need an additional information - who is friend with whom - so a new table "users_users" is born :) So your relationships will be: "users" hasMany "posts" "users" hasAndBelongsToMany "users" through "users_users". And you have to find: 1) The current users post using "users" hasMany "posts" association. 2) The current users friends posts using both associations "users" hasAndBelongsToMany "users" (friends) hasMany "posts" For 2) you have to lookup recursive and unbindModel/bindModel.

Need Help with Associations
Hi,
I have two tables, franchises and owners.
The owners table has a foreign key to franchises called franchise_id.
I've defined a $hasMany relationship between franchise and owners (ie.
1 franchise can have many owners).
I've defined a $belongsTo relationship between owner and franchise
(ie. an owner belongs to a franchise).
Now, I'm trying to edit franchise and the associated owner
information. However, I can't seem to access the owner information.
Here is my franchises_controller.php function for edit:
function edit($id = null)
{
if(empty($this->data['Franchise']))
{
$this->Franchise->id = $id;
$this->data = $this->Franchise->read();
}
else
{
if($this->Franchise->save($this->data['Franchise']))
{
$this->flash('Your franchise has been
updated.', '/franchises/');
}
}
}
Here is my edit.thtml file. Please note that I am confused as to how
the data is pre-populated in the form and why can't I seem to get the
owner associated data pre-populated? I'm also trying to print the
$data array, with no success.
Edit Franchise
hidden('Franchise/id'); ?>
Name: input('Franchise/name', array('size' =>
'40')) ?>
Owner First Name: input('Owner/first_name',
array('size' => '40')) ?>
submit('Save') ?>
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jamie

Help with associations and scaffolding
So I have a cookbook application with recipes and categories:
Recipes
id:title:recipe:created_on:category_id
Categories
id:name
I am trying to use bake to setup the associations between the categories and
recipes:
CATEGORY MODEL
class Category extends AppModel {
var $name = 'Category';
//The Associations below have been created with all possible keys,
those that are not needed can be removed
var $hasMany = array(
'Recipe' =>
array('className' => 'Recipe',
'foreignKey' =>
'category_id',
'conditions' => '',
'fields' => '',
'order' => '',
'limit' => '',
'offset' => '',
'dependent' => '',
'exclusive' => '',
'finderQuery' => '',
'counterQuery' => ''
),
);
}
RECIPE MODEL
class Recipe extends AppModel {
var $name = 'Recipe';
//The Associations below have been created with all possible keys,
those that are not needed can be removed
var $hasOne = array(
'Category' =>
array('className' => 'Category',
'foreignKey' => 'id',
'conditions' => '',
'fields' => '',
'order' => '',
'dependent' => ''
),
);
}
Do I have the concept or am I missing something?
I also had bake setup the controllers and views for me. When I view a recipe
say with category_id = 2, category 1 shows up under views. Also should the
add/edit view generated by scaffold have the categories as a select box with
the categories in it? Right now I have a text box which makes me think that
I don't have the associates set up correctly.
Thanks Mark
