I've been scouring the web for a while trying to figure this out. My brain
is fried, so I need some help.
I have a model called Containers, a model called Assets and HABTM table
called AssetsContainer.
So a container can have many assets.
The first question I have is when I'm doing this operation
$this->Container->read(null,$id);
How do I paginate the assets. right now I am only testing so there's only 2
assets linked to the container. Am I assuming right that there would be an
endless number of assets? If not, still, how do I paginate this data?
Next question is, each asset can be one of three different tables, Photos,
Profiles, Blogs. Each of these models has a hasOne relationship of asset_id
in each model. How do I get the read() function to retrieve this data
automatically? My first instinct is to put a nominal field for each
potential table of photo_id, profile_id and blog_id and update the model for
Asset with the hasOne of each.. This way it will grab the data right?
Also, is this an instance where instead of read, I use find('all') instead?
Many thanks,
Alan
