Folks,
I'm a bit new to CakePHP (Java guy from the way back time)and all was
going well and I have been very happy with the framework until.... I
am trying to simply html->link a column record in a table to a view.
Pretty basic stuff and I have done it a dozen times, with test dbs
that have always had an index key of id. The problem is, my new db has
a primary key index called refindKey not id. In the Cake PHP docs and
a books I have looked at it appears that Cake is enamored with id as
an index. I don't exactly control the db (it's generated by a Kapow
robot). All works correctly until the sql fires and it wants to
append .id to the query string. Here is an extract from the tail of
the query error dump. Nowhere in the code do I mention id for anything
so Cake id auto-assuming something.
.........WHERE `Zldinput`.`id` =
'035c2e44642d08032236ec49460b5bc556d19c8'
All of this is pretty standard stuff exept refindKey has replaced id
zldinputsController.php
...
function view($refindkey = null) {
$this->Zldinput->refindkey = $refindkey;
$this->set('zldinput', $this->Zldinput->read());
}
and a index.ctp with the html->link
.....
<?php echo $html->link($zldinput['Zldinput']['refindKey'],"/zldinputs/
view/".$zldinput['Zldinput']['refindKey']); ?>
</td> ......
The view action provides the correct URL whe the table element is
selected so the correct parameter is passed.
http://localhost/zipleads/zldinputs/view/01d30e978211a2564f85a9615adb8f018d34847
where the big hairy integer is the refindKey
Am I missing something very basic here. How do I get around the id db
key issue. I can't believe that Cake would have a mandatory
requirement of a index named id per what I have read.
Any help and pointers to the deeper inner workings would be greatly
appreciated.
Cheers, Steve
