# Aug 7th 2008, 00:50 TonkaTruck Eddie_CRO: Yeah basically just design the result you want from find()...the only rule seems to be that you cannot violate your relationships...which is obvious...but still is worth noting because it seems to be the only rule.
# Aug 7th 2008, 00:49 polerin P
# Aug 7th 2008, 00:49 polerin too many things to do that aren't "manually create this join table fixture"
# Aug 7th 2008, 00:48 polerin sorry, but i'm dead tired and I'm going to need to minimize this window so I can concentrate
# Aug 7th 2008, 00:48 polerin Eddie_CRO: not sure, just see if you can get the group conditions working first
# Aug 7th 2008, 00:48 Eddie_CRO polerin: can i use Item.field in conditions this way?
# Aug 7th 2008, 00:47 ChipotleCoyote polerin: Hmm. I'd thought of something like that, with 'section' just being paragraphs, but figured you could end up with an *awful* lot of paragraph records that way, particularly if you allow for each text file to go through revisions. :) But I guess that might not be a problem in practice.
# Aug 7th 2008, 00:47 polerin and making it a first level contain, then work your way back
# Aug 7th 2008, 00:47 Eddie_CRO it doesn't seem to do the trick
# Aug 7th 2008, 00:47 polerin Eddie_CRO: try doing the find from Item->User->
# Aug 7th 2008, 00:47 Eddie_CRO http://bin.cakephp.org/view/1158867500
# Aug 7th 2008, 00:46 Eddie_CRO it is not working yet, i get some data just with group empty.
# Aug 7th 2008, 00:46 polerin ChipotleCoyote: depending on how you decide to do it, you could actually just have "section" be a character range for the file, and whatever view you use uses those character range to bust it up
# Aug 7th 2008, 00:45 polerin ChipotleCoyote: that way you could arbitraily bust up any single file into multiple sections and assign comments
# Aug 7th 2008, 00:44 polerin ChipotleCoyote: TextFile hasMany Section hasMany Comment
# Aug 7th 2008, 00:44 TonkaTruck 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.
# Aug 7th 2008, 00:43 TonkaTruck 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().
# Aug 7th 2008, 00:41 ChipotleCoyote 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.
# Aug 7th 2008, 00:41 polerin almost as badly as I do
# Aug 7th 2008, 00:41 polerin sorry, but lawereese slaughteres the language
# Aug 7th 2008, 00:41 TonkaTruck haha
# Aug 7th 2008, 00:40 TonkaTruck Somewhere there is a law professor who is very proud of me for articulating that.
# Aug 7th 2008, 00:39 TonkaTruck 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
# Aug 7th 2008, 00:39 polerin thankfully this I should only have one more after this one
# Aug 7th 2008, 00:39 polerin back to writing fixtures
# Aug 7th 2008, 00:39 polerin anyhow
# Aug 7th 2008, 00:39 polerin not 100% but that's my first instinct
# Aug 7th 2008, 00:38 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 polerin (yay limiting fields to needed! )
# Aug 7th 2008, 00:37 TonkaTruck I could be very wrong but I would say contain() is more like find() result beautification.
# Aug 7th 2008, 00:36 polerin 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 polerin I used to use the old ModelWhatever->unbindAll(array('except for these'));
