# Aug 7th 2008, 01:03 polerin becasue it is full of win and absolute awesome.
# Aug 7th 2008, 01:03 polerin btw, have I publicly stated my deep and abiding love for vim's "visual block" recently?
# Aug 7th 2008, 01:03 TonkaTruck Eddie_CRO: That was a problem I encountered. I thought "I want a list of topics in a forum" so my find() should be Topic->find() but with contain and recursive I could see a nice way to get it. So I want backwards to the Forum model and contained down from there.
# Aug 7th 2008, 01:02 Traveler6 basically i want to use beforeSave in the controller
# Aug 7th 2008, 01:02 Traveler6 how do i check if the table is being updated or a new one added in the controller
# Aug 7th 2008, 01:01 Eddie_CRO right?
# Aug 7th 2008, 01:01 Eddie_CRO yes, and try now limiting this with something from ForumPost. And doing so, you expect find not to return you records of Forum if FormPost criteria is not fulfilled.
# Aug 7th 2008, 01:00 TonkaTruck This is to view a list of topics in a forum. So I start at Forum and get the topics in that forum. For each topic I get the user who created the topic and a the last forumpost for that topic as well as the user who posted it.
# Aug 7th 2008, 00:59 poluta1 hello anybody know how to make ajax observeField stay selected if a user submitting form, and user forget to fill valid email
# Aug 7th 2008, 00:57 Eddie_CRO yes but with some forumpost conditions, right?
# Aug 7th 2008, 00:57 TonkaTruck I want the forum record.
# Aug 7th 2008, 00:57 Eddie_CRO what else?!
# Aug 7th 2008, 00:57 Eddie_CRO you don't want records for Forum if it doesn't have that specific ForumPost condition.
# Aug 7th 2008, 00:57 TonkaTruck Yes. I'm assuming because I'm doing $this->Forum->find()
# Aug 7th 2008, 00:57 Eddie_CRO which is not what you want
# Aug 7th 2008, 00:57 Eddie_CRO yes but you get the record for Forum.
# Aug 7th 2008, 00:56 TonkaTruck I get an empty forumpost array if there are no forumposts for that topic.
# Aug 7th 2008, 00:55 Eddie_CRO just with empty FormPost array.
# Aug 7th 2008, 00:55 Eddie_CRO it seems it does.
# Aug 7th 2008, 00:55 Eddie_CRO and check if it gives you the Forum record back although it doesn't contain formpost's condition.
# Aug 7th 2008, 00:54 Eddie_CRO Tonka: yes, but try to put in the last array a condition like FormPost.somefield = somevalue
# Aug 7th 2008, 00:53 polerin which is usefull, because it meens that you can specify conditions for things that are on the other side of a multi-select find
# Aug 7th 2008, 00:53 TonkaTruck Also note 'recursive' in the find() itself.
# Aug 7th 2008, 00:53 polerin it goes with the Class model
# Aug 7th 2008, 00:53 TonkaTruck Eddie_CRO: in that contain(), just think "what do I want from find?" That's how I got it to work. Skip Class.field for now because I'm not sure if that goes inside the parent model or parallel with it.
# Aug 7th 2008, 00:51 Eddie_CRO what do you mean design the result.
# Aug 7th 2008, 00:51 TonkaTruck Eddie_CRO: http://bin.cakephp.org/view/319462953 also see this because it includes my find()
# Aug 7th 2008, 00:51 ChipotleCoyote ACTION should fall over. Too much alcohol to do real coding, or even coding planning.
# 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
