Hey guys, I'm rather new in CakePHP although I've developed a couple
small projects back in the 1.1 era.
I've been puzzled with the model relation alias behavior in 2.0
(behavior here used as literal english word not as the cakePHP
entity).
According to the docs one can name different model relation aliases
for the same model class, i.e.
class testExample extends AppModel {
public $hasMany = array(
'testRelation1' => array( //that's the alias
'className' => 'testRelation', //an existing model here
'foreignKey' => 'test_relation1_id' //existing key in
database
),
'testRelation2' => array(
'className' => 'testRelation',
'foreignKey' => 'test_relation2_id' //another existing
key in the
database
),
}
When the queries run, they return the expected results but those
results are not shown on page data, probably suppressed at some point.
The "Related Test Relation1" and "Related Test Relation2" come empty.
They only reason to get the data is to have the alias exactly as the
model class name:
public $hasMany = array(
'testRelation' => array( //same as model class name
'className' => 'testRelation',
'foreignKey' => 'test_relation1_id',
)
Even if you have just one relation like the last example and the alias
is not exactly the model name it doesn't work again.
Is this expected behavior?
