ChipotleCoyote: that way you could arbitraily bust up any single file into multiple sections and assign comments |

Eddie_CRO: let me know if the cake-php group post made sense...and if that works. If so you should post a reply with your contain. I was surprised by how few people have noted complex contain examples on their blogs. When I say "complex" I just mean arrays wider than 2 deep I guess. |

Eddie_CRO: To answer your last question I'm not sure it matter whether contain is defined via contain() or 'contain' as a key in your find(). |

Sort of weird implementation question/problem. I have a project in mind that I'd like to allow people to upload text files to and have other people comment on by paragraph, sort of the way Microsoft Word allows comments on files. But I haven't thought of a good way to implement that kind of comment system. |

Somewhere there is a law professor who is very proud of me for articulating that. |

It's a bit counter-intuitive because contain() is either a) semantically inclusive and b) logically exclusive or vise versa. |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 00:39 |
polerin |
then I can actually start coding |

thankfully this I should only have one more after this one |

not 100% but that's my first instinct |

polerin |
yes, because they are wanting to make sure contain is correctly fiddling with the recursive setting I think |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 00:38 |
TonkaTruck |
polerin: did you notice in the contain test cases that they set recursive before contain() ? |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 00:38 |
polerin |
s/result array/ resultant record/ |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 00:38 |
polerin |
because cake has to process each result array into the nested result |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 00:37 |
polerin |
and really really saves processing |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 00:37 |
TonkaTruck |
polerin: Yeah good point I didn't even think of that. |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 00:37 |
polerin |
no way, when you have 15 associations and they go deep, contains is WAY easier than going through and unbinding each of them |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 00:37 |
TonkaTruck |
recursive notwithstanding. |

Aug 7th 2008, 00:37 |

(yay limiting fields to needed! ) |

I could be very wrong but I would say contain() is more like find() result beautification. |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 00:36 |

TonkaTruck: or reduce the load that M has to get back from the db |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 00:36 |
polerin |
and contain uses the best of that |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 00:36 |

I used to use the old ModelWhatever->unbindAll(array('except for these')); |

So in the MVC world the C team is trying to give the V team something intuitive to work with. |

contain was the first one of those things that really won me over |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 00:35 |
TonkaTruck |
Eddie_CRO: One of the things I tried before reading the contain test cases was nesting them, yes...heh. But no...think of it more like "beautify" |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 00:35 |
polerin |
TonkaTruck: heheh |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 00:35 |
polerin |
that kind of array nesting makes reading function calls a PITA |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 00:35 |
polerin |
it works in find, but if you're doing it that deep I would reccomend using model->contain or assigning it to a variable first |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 00:35 |
TonkaTruck |
polerin: Yes...but in the docs it seems more like "we're working hard to contain the fire on the third floor" |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 00:34 |
Eddie_CRO |
polerin, Tonka: It seems interesting. So i have to nest contains. Does it work in ->find or i have to use model->Contain? |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 00:34 |
polerin |
TonkaTruck: think of it more along the lines of "I want my results to contain this information" |

objective C is just apples little modification to the language |

Eddie_CRO: I was a bit confused semantically on the use of the word contain. It's either "I contained my wide array" or "my array contains..." I prefer to think of it as the latter. |
