> 1. A litle background about what are you trying to do.
I have Person information that is common to all people (name,
nationality, birthdate). But People can be different things though,
like Coaches, Players, Officials etc. These Person Types can have
statistical information like player stats for players or win/loss
records for coaches. I didn't want to lump unnecessary information
onto Person that didn't need it , so I broke each of these types out
to sep. tables and models
> 2. The code you are using to define the models.
class Person extends AppModel {
var $name = 'Person';
var $actsAs = array('Polymorphic');
// The database table for this model includes 'class' and
'foreign_id' fields
// No associations to person types exist here
}
class CoachRating extends AppModel {
var $name = 'CoachRating';
var $hasMany = array(
'Person' => array(
'className' => 'Person',
'foreignKey' => 'foreign_id',
'conditions' => array('Person.class' => 'CoachRating'),
'dependent' => true
)
);
}
> 3. How are you calling the models.
When I go to view one Person in particular, I use
$this->set('person', $this->Person->read(null, $id));
> 4. The SQL that is beign generated.
SELECT `Person`.`id`, `Person`.`birthdate`, `Person`.`firstname`,
`Person`.`lastname`, `Person`.`country_id`, `Person`.`person_type_id`,
`Person`.`class`, `Person`.`foreign_id` FROM `persons` AS `Person`
WHERE `Person`.`id` = 4045 LIMIT 1
SELECT `CoachRating`.`id` FROM `coach_ratings` AS `CoachRating` WHERE
`CoachRating`.`id` = 8 LIMIT 1
