I know this has been asked before but I'm missing something here.
models: Event HABTM Guest
I need to save some extra fields in events_guests table. I've created
a join model, EventGuest:
$belongsTo = array('Event', 'Guest');
Guest:
var $hasAndBelongsToMany = array(
'Event' => array('with' => 'EventGuest')
);
Event:
var $hasAndBelongsToMany = array(
'Guest' => array('with' => 'EventGuest')
);
The data is coming in like:
array(
'Event' => array(
'id' => 12
),
'Guest' => array(
...
),
'EventGuest' => array(
'event_id' => 12,
...
)
);
Now, when I save Guest, Cake is also creating a record in
events_guests. Unfortunately, it's ignoring the EventGuest data. I had
the impression the 'with' param would take care otf that.
So, anyway, I thought I'd simply add the correct IDs to my data and re-
save EventGuest. Unfortunately again, getInsertID() returns nothing!
I'm assuming it's because it wasn't directly saved (and seems like a
bug).
if ($this->Event->EventGuest->Guest->save($this->data))
{
$event_guest_id = $this->Event->EventGuest->getInsertID();
$guest_id = $this->Event->EventGuest->Guest->getInsertID();
$this->data['EventGuest']['id'] = $event_guest_id;
$this->data['EventGuest']['guest_id'] = $guest_id;
$this->Event->EventGuest->save($this->data);
So I end up with 2 records in events_guests. The first is missing the
extra data.
Now, I realise that I can instead use field() to retrieve
theEventGuest.id but is there simply something I've missed here?
