Hi all,
I've managed to set up most of my associations and models in CakePHP (I'm a
noobie).
Now I have a very basic question. Let me explain the situation first.
I have got a User, Pet and Post model.
The user hasmany pets, the pet hasmany posts.
The user can also log in.
Now in my controller, I want to access the Posts of the pets of the current
user.
To do this, I'm using the following method, which I think is not really
what I'm looking for:
#in user.php (model)
public function getPosts($uid = null){
$user = $this->findById($uid);
$pets = $user['Pet'];
$result = array();
foreach ($pets as $pet){
$pett = $this->Pet->findById($pet['id']);
$result = array_merge($result, $pett['MyFeed']);
}
return $result;
}
#in my controller
$feed = $this->User->getPosts($this->Auth->user('id'));
Not only can i not order my posts correctly (by date), but I also think
this is not the way to go.
Do you have any suggestions on doing this better? Isn't it possible to
store the logged in User somewhere so that accessing it's associations is
easier?
Thanks in advance,
Jordy
