_deleteHasMany method will not delete the User, just the child
(profile) records.
$this->User->_deleteHasMany($user_id, true);
However, if you have other "HasMany" associations, then they too will
also be deleted.
If that doesn't work for you... there's nothing wrong with doing it the
easy way:
$this->Preference->execute("DELETE FROM preferences WHERE user.id =" .
$user_id);

HI, i've been looking at the API but I just don't see how I call _deleteHasMany? I do not want to cascade delete to child associations if I delete the master (in this case User). I want to delete ALL the rows on the many side of the relationship (in my case 'preferences') but the "one" side (the User) is not to be deleted. Hopefully this makes sense...thanks for your help so far and starting to make a bit of progress...

Re: simple cakePHP question
My bad, I just realised I misread the question and you don't want to delete the User object. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

Re: simple cakePHP question
Hi Joel, CakePHP makes this very easy for you. I'm assuming you've setup the models so that User hasMany Preference and Preference belongsTo User. To have it that CakePHP automatically deletes all the Preference entries when you delete the parent User just set 'dependent' to true in the hasMany array for User.

Look in the API at the model class. Specifically, checkout the del
method, and the _deleteHasMany method. There is a lot of stuff in the
API that you won't find anywhere else!
_deleteHasMany will loop through the preferences and delete each one.
This would be the recommended way of deleting preferences since it
would be done by the model.
Of course the other way would be:
$this->Preference->execute("DELETE FROM preferences WHERE user.id =
".$user_id);
But, if you have a "beforeDelete" method defined for the preference
model, the execute sql method would skip that logic.

simple cakePHP question
Hi all, I'm new to the Cake framework but not to PHP. I apologise in advance for asking any dumbo questions if this is an advanced group etc. My simple question is this I have a test Cake web app with two models - User and Preference - a user has many preferences. What is the Cake way of deleting all the prefences for a User (but not the User itself) without having to loop over all the users prefences and call DELETE on the Preference model? ...hopefully this makes some kind of sense!
