Well, *asking* for a feature is different from *implementing* a feature. Perhaps Nate was a little brusque, but people need to accept that from time to time, the people who do the coding might disagree with other people's ideas. I have no idea how ZF has implemented multi-column primary indexes as keys in their database abstraction layer, but I don't think that's really the issue. Just because ZF has it does not automatically mean that CakePHP should have it too. I suspect that your guess about the amount of work needed vs. the benefits gained is probably the best reason. As for the ZF comment, I don't think that Nate really meant "thou shalt not mention ZF ever more". It was more along the lines of "complaining that ZF has something that CakePHP doesn't isn't the best way to motivate me". > With what is posted however, I hope you can understand why as a newbie to > CakePHP I have my concerns. I think you should judge CakePHP on how it actually works, instead of how the developers who create it comment on tickets. That ticket is very old (we're up into the high 4000's for tickets now) so maybe enough changes have been made to the Model classes that this could be implemented in the future. If you really want to take the bull by the horns, create a ticket on trac.cakephp.org asking that this be reopened again. The worst thing that is going to happen is that they will reject the ticket. And again, you should never take it personally when a ticket is rejected, no matter what it says in the comments. -- Chris Hartjes Internet Loudmouth Motto for 2008: "Moving from herding elephants to handling snakes..." @TheKeyBoard: http://www.littlehart.net/atthekeyboard --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
