Andy Dawson's PolymorphicBehavior seems like the perfect answer to a
problem I have but I'm having trouble implementing it. My situation is
that I have a User model, then several different models which a user
can "be" ie. 'Organization', 'Student', etc. So, I've tried doing
this:
users table:
id
created
modified
model
foreign_key
-- etc.
class User extends AppModel
{
var $name = 'User';
var $actsAs = array('Polymorphic');
}
class Admin extends AppModel
{
var $name = 'Admin';
var $hasOne = array(
'User' => array(
'className' => 'User',
'foreignKey' => 'foreign_key',
'conditions' => array('User.model' => 'Admin'),
'dependent' => true
)
);
}
UsersController:
$user = $this->User->findByEmail($this->data['User']['email']);
debug($user); exit;
All I see is an array for 'User'.
I've verified that the DB tables have the correct information.
Am I looking at this the wrong way? In Andy's article[1] he uses the
example of a Note class which can belongTo several others. My
situation is a bit different, though it seems much closer to how I
understood polymorphic classes to work.
