Re: conditions on how a virtual field is constructed
In this case TRIM() is the best solution. But you can also use the
IF(condition, "true value", "false value") function, which acts like a
ternary operator.

Re: conditions on how a virtual field is constructed
For anyone else looking for a solution to this, I used mysql's trim
function to just trim away the trailing comma and space if there isn't
a first name:
'last_first' => sprintf('TRIM(TRAILING \', \' FROM
(CONCAT(%s.last_name, ", ", %s.first_name)))', $this->alias, $this-
>alias)

conditions on how a virtual field is constructed
I'm using a first_name and last_name columns in a customers table with
cake 1.3. I have created a virtual field of last_first that concats
the last_name and first_name fields with a comma in between. Is there
a way to make the virtual field display just the last_name if the
first_name is NULL? Below is my current virtualFields variable.
function __construct($id = false, $table = null, $ds = null) {
parent::__construct($id, $table, $ds);
$this->virtualFields = array(
'last_first' => sprintf('CONCAT(%s.last_name, ", ",
%s.first_name)',
$this->alias, $this->alias),
);
}
