Very quick and neat, thanks for that.

I added the product_count field to my product_categories table. Then added 
'counterCache' => true to my products model and...
'conditions' => array('ProductCategory.product_count >' => 0)
…to my products_controller find

Up and running.

Hiding empty categories

2012-06-03 Thread Paul Willis
I'm on CakePHP 1.3

On my products/index.ctp view I show a menu of categories and list all the 
products from the selected category. However I don't want to show categories 
where there are no products.

Currently the data comes from my products_controller.php

function index($id = 1) {
$this->Product->recursive = 0;
$this->set('currentcategory', $id);
$this->set('products', $this->Product->find('all', 
array('conditions' => array('ProductCategory.id' => $id;
$this->set('categories', 
$this->Product->ProductCategory->find('list', array('fields' => 
array('ProductCategory.id', 'ProductCategory.name';
}

What is the best way to only find those categories with products?

Cheers

Paul
