I came up with a solution. In the baked Controller for the market, I
took a look at the $this variable after this line:
$this->set('market',' $this->Market->read(null, $id));
One of the pieces of $this was an array called viewVars which is
passed to the view.
In that arra were a bunch of ['Stations'] that had the fields from the
station database. But it didn't have any associated models underneath
that.
So I added this:
for ($i = 0; $i < count($this->viewVars['market']
['Station']); $i++) {
$this->viewVars['market']['Station'][$i] =
$this->Market->Station->findById($this->viewVars['market']['Station']
[$i]['id']);
}
That replaced the information sent about the stations with information
that is returned by the Station model.
Then, in the view, for the related station section, a line like this:
echo $station['id'] is changed to:
echo $station['Station']['id']
That change is done so that your information that was already printing
out still prints out. Furthermore, I wanted to change foreign keys so
a line like this:
echo $station['market_id'] is changed to:
echo $station['Market']['name']
the $station array used to look like this:
Array
(
[id] => 849
[market_id] => 556
[name] => WRIC
[affiliation_id] => 1
)
Now it looks like this:
Array
(
[Station] => Array
(
[id] => 849
[market_id] => 556
[name] => WRIC
[affiliation_id] => 1
)
[Market] => Array
(
[id] => 556
[name] => RICHMOND-PETERSBURG
[dmacode] => 556
)
[Affiliation] => Array
(
[id] => 1
[name] => ABC
)
)
So as you can see now the View is getting all of the model logic for
the related models and not just the main one. I think scaffolding
should be smart enough to do this anyway, but I guess you don't want
to make scaffolding too smart.
