One way would be to have all the possible item types (ie NewsItem,
EventItem) associated, with different conditions. Only those that
match should be loaded (but you will probably get all the keys, and
it'll be a complicated and possibly slow JOIN generated).
class Item extends AppModel
{
var $name = 'Item';
var $belongsTo = array(
'EventItem' => array('className' => 'EventItem', 'foreignKey'
=>
'type_id', 'conditions' => 'Item.type = 0'),
'NewsItem' => array('className' => 'NewsItem', 'foreignKey' =>
'type_id', 'conditions' => 'Item.type = 1'),
);
}
other than that you can have something in the afterFind of your Item
model to make a query and load the correct items data. Something
like:
class Item extends AppModel
{
var $name = 'Item';
function afterFind( $results )
{
for ($i = 0; $i < sizeof($results); $i++) {
// check if this is a model, or if it is an array of
models
if ( isset($results[$i][$this->name]) ){
// this is the model we want, see if it's a
single or array
if ( isset($results[$i][$this->name][0]) ){
// run on every model
for ($j = 0; $j <
sizeof($results[$i][$this->name]); $j++) {
$this->_attachAttributes(
&$results[$i][$this->name][$j] );
}
} else {
$this->_attachAttributes(
&$results[$i][$this->name] );
}
}
}
return $results;
}
function _attachAttributes( &$data_row )
{
if ( !empty($data_row['id']) ){
switch( $data_row['id'] ){
case 0:
$event_item =
$this->EventItem->find('EventItem.id'=>
$data_row['type_id']);
$data_row['EventItem'] =
$event_item['EventItem'];
break;
case 0:
$event_item =
$this->NewsItem->find('NewsItem.id'=>
$data_row['type_id']);
$data_row['NewsItem'] =
$event_item['NewsItem'];
break;
}
}
}
}
