Thankyou, how would I go about calling it within the properties view
foreach loop?
I tried this:
$estate_name = $this->getEstateName($property['Property']
['estate_id']);
and then I tried:
echo getEstateName($property['Property']['estate_id']);
but both times I got errors like this:
Call to undefined method View::getEstateName()
My properties controller file has this now:
public function getEstateName($accountId)
{
return $this->Property->User->find('first', array('conditions'
=>
array('Account.id' => $accountId), 'fields' =>
array('Account.first_name', 'Account.last_name')));
}
Thanks
