For years I worked with a custom framework that was loosely based on
CakePHP. In that framework, we could access the model data within a model
file by using $this-PROPERTY_NAME. I have seen some Cake examples that
use similar code, but for some reason, I can't get it to work. Here
add __get to your app model to make other properties accessible in

That's a very deeply associated field, Cake is possibly struggling to
complete the automagic that deep.
You may struggle with a model called Session due to clash with the Session
component.
AFAIK, any ajax created or deleted fields will mess up the Security Hash as
it's generated on page load
Thank you for answering. I was afraid the association might be too deep.
Just to clarify one thing, the model is not named Session, I was just
trying to describe the nature of my problem using model names here that
would make more sense to people not intimately familiar with the project
Also to clarfiy, I have dumped $this-data at the view load time and have
verified that all the data needed for the automagic population is present.
So the problem is not at the query level, but would appear to be at the
Helper level.

I have a model (let's called it Sessions) that hasAndBelongsToMany Tags.
Each Session belongsTo a Track
Each Track belongsTo an Event
Each Event belongs to an EventGroup
A User may manage several EventGroups.
For UX purposes, I have condensed the maintenance of all these into one
form
Just in case somebody is interested... I have added a small method
data() that works a little nicer in my opinion than the standard way
of accessing the data array's values is...
So instead of $this-Model-data['User']['name'] you can just call
$this-Model-data('name')... saves you a few
One slight change: you're $model param is superfluous. There's no need
to pass the model as this is the AppModel. Just use $this when
referencing it.
I'd also check if $this-data exists before doing anything.
OK, one other possibility:
public function data()
{
if (empty($this-data
Great, so now when I need to build my view that displays data from
four different models, I can call set a bunch of times in the
controller for each model. come up with a whole new form helper to
deal with data that does not have a model key. And deal with duplicate
fields labeled 'id' in my html
Hi everybody
Sorry for this newbish question, but I don't seem to find much about
this (although I should, I guess).
$m = $this-Model-find(1);
echo $m-data['Model']['something];
Is there a better way of getting a model's data fields instead of
this? I always thought this could be done with $m
nope
but thats already a very neat way to do it
what is your problem with it?

It looks really clumsy to me. What about the following?
class AppModel extends Model {
function data($field) {
return $this-data[$this-name][$field];
}
}
First I was not sure why in the $data array there is a key
'ModelName', I would have expected something like this:

i think you are missing the obvious point
is there a reason why this is done this way in cake? yes, there is
trust the guys that work with since several years
one example:
you have a BelongsTo relationshop
cake can easily get this data as well
now you can do:
$this-Model-recursive = 0;
$m

I think this is a mute point - it works really well as it is.
If a model has a self join relationship with itself you give it a different
model alias, so it will appear with that name in the data array, not the name
of the model. For example, an employees table might have a self join to denote

You could make use of the $uses variable.
Say you need to access the unrelated table Bar from controller Foo,
you would add a uses variable for something like:
$uses = array('Foo', 'Bar');

Maybe an example is better. Let's say you have a certain criteria for

controller each time you want to get an article:
$article = $this-Article
Also worth noting: A controller can have multiple Models.

To retrieve that many records and instantiate the classes, it is using
more than your PHP settings allow for a single script ( see
memory_limit in your php.ini , default is 8MB ).
So, you can either retrieve less records, or you can increase this
memory limit. To only retrieve the 50 records
