# Aug 8th 2008, 11:23 asciimo I want to add a 3rd column to music_listeners w/ a bit expressing "love" or "hate"
# Aug 8th 2008, 11:22 asciimo the db has, e.g. music table, listeners table, music_listeners
# Aug 8th 2008, 11:22 asciimo good question. I'm setting up some shell classes for models, and I want to make cake aware of entity relationships
# Aug 8th 2008, 11:20 AD7six at what 'level' is your question - how to achive that, how to count each how to edit, how to define?
# Aug 8th 2008, 11:19 asciimo So I've got a hasAndBelongsToMany relationship between music and listeners, but I want specify the types of relationship to each. "hate" or "love"
# Aug 8th 2008, 11:19 asciimo and, of course, there are many different types of music that they all listen to.
# Aug 8th 2008, 11:19 asciimo ok. My music is exposed to many listeners. Some listeners love my music. Some hate my music.
# Aug 8th 2008, 11:18 asciimo good analogies.
# Aug 8th 2008, 11:17 AD7six asciimo: try if my article hasMany Users, but some are author, reviewer, editor etc. use real names/examples.
# Aug 8th 2008, 11:16 asciimo Thanks, AD7six.
# Aug 8th 2008, 11:15 AD7six because otherwise I don't foo the moo what you're baring about
# Aug 8th 2008, 11:15 AD7six asciimo: it would be foo if you didn't talk in bars
# Aug 8th 2008, 11:14 asciimo In other words, my_obj has 5 relationships to many your_obj of the "foo" kind, and 5 relationships to many your_obj of the "bar" kind
# Aug 8th 2008, 11:13 asciimo Hi, folks. I'm a cake newbie. Does cake give an easy way of expressing qualities to relationships? For example, if my my_obj has many your_obj, but some of those relationships are "foo" and some are "bar"...

# Aug 8th 2008, 11:11 troutoil teknoid: gotcha, well, thanks for the help!
# Aug 8th 2008, 11:11 teknoid troutoil: ah, it does for this case... but there is more to it then just the variable name
# Aug 8th 2008, 11:09 troutoil teknoid: the above bin works automagically... and the models field type is just INT...

# Aug 8th 2008, 11:08 tbranyen Once we get the go-ahead
# Aug 8th 2008, 11:07 tbranyen Yeah its myself and another php developer, we have a two week timeframe.
# Aug 8th 2008, 11:07 teknoid tbranyen: and that's a good choice :)
# Aug 8th 2008, 11:07 tbranyen teknoid: Regardless of what my intentions are to make a reusable cms, i'm definitely using cake on this custom project.
# Aug 8th 2008, 11:06 FunkyWeasel "Migrate from 1.1 to 1.2" the manager says. "What could go wrong" he says :P
# Aug 8th 2008, 11:06 tbranyen That was rhetorical :-p
# Aug 8th 2008, 11:06 teknoid tbranyen: you should know it better, since you are closer to the project...
# Aug 8th 2008, 11:06 tbranyen Probably because our team leader told them it was better to have a custom made one.
# Aug 8th 2008, 11:06 FunkyWeasel Ahah, found out what's throwing the oh so useful "Error: Database table cake_app_models for model AppModel was not found" message - one of the 'uses' vars in a model is including models that 1.2 doesn't like the look of, so at least I know where to look now. Cheers for all the help folks, have an excellent weekend :)
# Aug 8th 2008, 11:05 tbranyen I'm currently employed in a $50k project that requires us to write a custom cms... why isn't that company just using one out there?
# Aug 8th 2008, 11:05 tbranyen If thats the case, why isn't everyone using one of them?
# Aug 8th 2008, 11:05 teknoid tbranyen: considering the number of available, mature cms products out there, i'd say you are in for a long haul :)
# Aug 8th 2008, 11:03 tbranyen even if the client has no idea what that means
# Aug 8th 2008, 11:03 teknoid troutoil: there's gotta be something else going, $form->input() is not going to match some set variable to build a select list... it's likely looking at the model's field type
# Aug 8th 2008, 11:03 tbranyen its a name to associate with
# Aug 8th 2008, 11:03 tbranyen That looks a lot better than simply saying custom .net CMS
# Aug 8th 2008, 11:03 tbranyen I used to work with a firm that had a custom .net CMS built on netTiers
# Aug 8th 2008, 11:02 tbranyen chrisa: You'd be suprised.
# Aug 8th 2008, 11:01 chrisa So long as it suits their needs
# Aug 8th 2008, 11:01 chrisa Do people really care what framework their commercial software uses?
# Aug 8th 2008, 11:00 tbranyen Especially if I advertise it as being built on cakePHP. It would be nice to boast a claim of being the first commercial cakePHP CMS.
# Aug 8th 2008, 11:00 troutoil teknoid: it's certainly not a big deal to add the options, but I figured since the form helper is looking for an existing variable, it'd be a little more elegant...
