Hello everyone,
I have a problem and I hope anyone of you can help me with that. Certainly I have read a lot of topics about hasMany and the likes, but so far I couldn't find the answer I need. Let me start by explaining what I want: For now I have 2 models: message.php and user.php [code] class Message extends AppModel { var $name = 'Message'; var $belongsTo = array('User' => array( 'className' => 'User', 'foreignKey' => 'user_id' ) ); /* AND */ class User extends AppModel { var $name = 'User'; var $hasMany = array( 'Message' =>array( 'className' => 'Message', 'conditions' => 'User.id = Message.from_id', 'foreignKey' => 'user_id' ) ); } [/code] Ok sofar for the models. The thing I want is to do a select on the messages table getting all the messages send to a certain id. For now with this setup it's possible. However.. I want to get the username who have sent the message. I tried to do it with a ordinary query on my db and that worked: [sql code] SELECT m.user_id, m.from_id, m.subject, m.content, u.username FROM users u, messages m WHERE u.id = m.from_id AND m.user_id = 1 [/sql code] outputs: user_id from_id subject content username 2 1 subject contents XYZ Which is the result that I want. Here's the controller code: [code] var $uses=array('Message','User'); function xyz() { $message = $this->Message->findAll('Message.user_id=1'); pr($message); } [/code] cake gives me back this: [array output snippet] [0] => Array ( [Message] => Array ( [id] => 3 [user_id] => 1 [from_id] => 2 [created] => 2007-01-14 13:53:53 [subject] => 2nd message from test to username [content] => bdfiugfigsdifgisudgfiudsf fljhfughofdhpgifhoghdfg sdfghfsoguhodhfgohfdohg sdlghfdouhgodfhgohdfohodf ) [User] => Array ( [id] => 1 [useremail] => [username] => username [userpassword] => ######### [userfirstname] => first [userlastname] => last [created] => now() [delete_date] => 0000-00-00 00:00:00 [ip] => ) ) [/array output snippet] Which is not what I want. I want to get the username and the messages this 'from_id' sent. So my question.. how do I get cake to give me back the same output as the ordinary query? Hope anyone can help me with this.
