Hello, I'd like to show the following things in my view (respectively in the field uplink_id in the view): attribute "uplink_id" from table "ports" with attribute "schenker_number" from table "hardware_units". My problem are the associations, respectively i don't know the source code to retrieve the information i want.
Fields: - "id" (table "ports" = primary-key) - "hardware_unit_id" (table "ports", = foreign-key associated with "id" from table "hardware_units") - "id" (table "hardware_units" = primary-key) - "uplink_id" (table "ports" = foreign-key associated with "id" from table "ports") Example with values: - "id" (table "ports") has value 4 - "hardware_unit_id" has value 2 ---> "id" (table "hardware_units") has also value 2 - "uplink_id" has value 1 (points to the "id" (table "ports" with value 1) So when i do this: {{{ echo $port['HardwareUnit']['schenker_number']; }}} , i get the "schenker_number" from the hardware_unit, which is associated with the port ("id" = 4) BUT i need the "schenker_number" which matches with the "hardware_unit_id" from the port with "id" value 1 because of the "uplink_id" (value 1). **Model:** {{{ class Port extends AppModel { var $name= 'Port'; public $belongsTo = array( 'HardwareUnit' => array( 'className' => 'HardwareUnit' ) ); var $hasOne = array( 'PortUplink' => array( 'className' => 'Port', 'foreignKey' => 'uplink_id' ) ); }}} **Controller:** {{{ class PortsController extends AppController { var $name = 'Ports'; function index() { $this->set('ports', $this->Port->find('all')); } }}} **View:** {{{ <?php foreach ($ports as $port): ?> <td style="text-align:left"><?php echo $port['Port']['uplink_id']; ?></ td> }}} Please don't hesitate to ask if i expressed myself unclearly.
