That's just the way CakePHP indexes the associations. I agree it was
not what I expected at first, but it is not difficult to work with.
My personal solution is to have the following afterFind() in the app/
app_model.php , and then any particular model can have a
_attachAttributes function to deal with the actual row data
app/app_model.php:
function afterFind( $results )
{
//$this->log('afterFind on '.$this->name .' with results:
'.print_r($results,true));
// see if the model wants to attach attributes
if ( method_exists($this, '_attachAttributes') ){
// we want each row to have an array of required
attributes
for ($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 $results;
}
app/models/my_model.php
function _attachAttributes( &$data_row )
{
// set the full name from the first name and surname
$data_row['_fullname'] = $data_row['firstname'].' '.
$data_row['surname'];
}
