Tomfox, I think you're approaching this from the wrong angle.
When a user is viewing their profile you're running a different action to when viewing the index of books. In each of these actions you would run different paginates/finds on the book model to find what you're after. /users/profile/$username: Book.user_id=>$user_id /books/index: Book.is_visible=>1 HTH, Paul On Aug 23, 10:01 pm, Tomfox Wiranata <[email protected]> wrote: > hi everyone, > > i have the object book with its attribute visible as boolean. i wanna > use pagination and it works except for one thing. > > first i did two "this->paginate" in my controller. one with visible > condition true and the other with false. but cake doesnt like two > paginations in one controller. > > so i just returned any book, that a user "follows", no matter if it is > set to visible true or false. > > controller: > public $paginate = array('Book' => array('limit' => 1, 'joins' => > array( > array( > 'table' => 'books_users', > 'alias' => 'BookUser', > 'conditions'=> array('BookUser.fk_book_id = Book.id AND > Book.locked = false') > ) > ))); > > NOW in my view, i want to make the distinction. when the user is > visiting his own profile, non visible books are listed, since these > are his own. if someone visits a another profile, the non visible > books shall not appear. > > view: > > if ($user['User']['username'] == $this->Session->read('User.username')) > { > > if ($private_books['BookUser']['BooksUser']['visible'] = 'true') > .......show > > else > .......dont show > > Problem: i cant access the visible field from the pagination array, > that looks like that > > [BookUser] => Array > ( > [0] => Array > ( > [firstname] => test > [lastname] => user > [username] => testuser > > [BooksUser] => Array > ( > > >>>>>>>>>>>>>> [visible] => 1 > <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< > ) > > ) > > ) > > } > > so how can i access the visible here?
