Nested models help (which methods to use?)

Hello. I am looking for a simple solution for binding model to another model. I'm using CakePHP 2.2. I am building a JSON rest api. I currently have a simple User model with a hasOne Profile association. I want to nest the "Profile" model in the Users array, without using any views. What is th

Saving Nested Models

This problem is beating me into a pulp, and if I could solve it I'd really be making headway on my app. Currently I have working the following type of relationship Contact "belongsTo" Location Location "hasMany" Contact ie - contacts.location_id = locations.id This works for all CRUD operations

Can't Get Media Plugin to Work with Nested Models

I have been using the Media Plugin by David Persson and I think it's great and has saved me a lot of time. I started out with an Invoice model that hasMany Attachments and everything worked well. I then added Materials to my invoice and tried added Attachments to a specific material associated wi

What is your recursive parameter set to? And have you considered using Containable behaviour? See http://book.cakephp.org/view/474/Containable Enjoy, John On May 5, 4:54 pm, Greg Skerman wrote: > Hey guys, > > Struggling to figure out why this wont work (cake 1.2). > >         $this->set('Ch

You could do http://www.application.com/message/add/contract:1 using named parameters. Or setup a route for www.application.com/contract/1/message/add On Dec 28, 11:09 pm, otisjs01 wrote: > OK, so I'm asking lots of questions today...but I really want to > learn! :) > > Anyway, I'm trying to cre

Re: Nested Models

When a user selects a contract to view, store the contract id internally (session). Then when the user requests to view the related messages, show the messages and add a form for the user to enter a new message, and have the form url be /messages/add. If the user adds a new message, retrieve the c

Re: find() when having nested models

Hello John, I already tried putting all X.id and X.Y_id in the respective field arrays - no change. And this also does not explain, why cakephp does the right thing automatically when I select B, C, D, F, and G, but not when selecting A. What I do not understand is the difference between the beh

Re: find() when having nested models

Yes, I read that too, and later in the text is this note: "When using 'fields' and 'contain' options - be careful to include all foreign keys that your query directly or indirectly requires." And to me it looks like you should ensure that you specify the primary keys (id) and the foreign keys (c

Hello Brian, thank you for the information about containable. It works fine, except for one problem. I use this code: > $this->E->find( > 'all', > array( > 'contain' => array( > 'D' => array( > 'fields' => array('D.tit

Use ContainableBehavior and try the find() like: $this->E->find( 'all', array( 'contain' => array( 'D' => array( 'fields' => array('D.title'), 'C' => array(

Hi, I have models with belongsTo and hasMany relations in the following form: A -> C -> D -> E B -> C F -> E G -> E When displaying E I also want to display the title-fields of A, B, C, D, F and G. find() can only be set to rescursive=2 giving me E together with D, C, F, G. What is the best wa

I have a table of headings and a table of categories. Each heading "hasMany" categories, and each category "belongsTo" a heading. I need a view that lists each heading with its associated categories. I have the models working with the "scaffolded" views of headings and categories (separately), bu
