Mady,
I believe that part of your problem is that you have the associations
backwards. "Items" belongsTo "Importance" and "Importance" hasMany
"Items"
The relationship is a one-to-many with each Importance level having
possibly many related items but each Item can only have one importance
level. Try switching the two and see if that helps... like so:
In item:
var $belongsTo = array('Importance' =>
array('className' => 'Importance',
'conditions' => '',
'order' => '',
'foreignKey' => 'importances_id'
)
);
In Importance:
var $hasMany = array('Item' =>
array('className' => 'Item',
'conditions' => '',
'order' => '',
'dependent' => true, //<-- Note:
this probably should be false unless you intend for the related items
to be deleted if you delete an importance level.
'foreignKey' => 'importances_id'
)
);
Hope that helps!
