So I went ahead and tried this Containable Behaviour to at least see
what it was like. I must say, I am impressed, it does make things
easier, and you were right, my code is cleaner, it's nice, so thank
you for that.
However this model is still giving me grief, which leads me to believe
that it's probably something wrong with the model itself, but I can't
spot it.
Here are my 3 models and the code in them:
Build:
class Build extends AppModel
{
var $name = 'Build';
var $actsAs = array('Containable');
var $belongsTo = 'Status';
var $hasMany = array(
'Image' => array(
'className' => 'Image',
'foreignKey' => 'build_id',
'dependant' => true,
'fields' => array(
'Image.picture', 'Image.caption'
)
)
);
}
Status:
class Status extends AppModel
{
var $name = 'Status';
var $belongsTo = 'Phase';
}
And there is no code for the Phase model, as it is never directly
accessed so I don't think it's necessary. And then my find method in
the Builds Controller:
$dbbuilds = $this->Build->find('first', array(
'fields' => array(
'Build.id', 'Build.name', 'Build.slug',
'Build.description'
),
'conditions' => array(
'Build.slug' => $slug
),
'contain' => array(
'Image' => array(
'fields' => array(
'Image.picture',
'Image.caption'
)
),
'Status' => array(
'Phase'
)
)
));
Could someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?
