# Aug 10th 2008, 04:39 NetersLandreau yes pgcd, i think [$this->model()] should be [{$this->model->name}]
# Aug 10th 2008, 04:39 pgcd Martz =)
# Aug 10th 2008, 04:38 Martz pgcd: great minds ;P
# Aug 10th 2008, 04:38 pgcd Neters: where exactly? in the extendedform thingy?
# Aug 10th 2008, 04:38 Martz darki: but booking_id should be the foreign key of Booking, which has a primary key right? So why not have a seperate field called "reference" and in your beforeSave() or similar, concat the primary key of the account and the foreign key of the booking ID
# Aug 10th 2008, 04:38 pgcd darki: what about a booking_id *and* an auto_increment? then you concat the two and you're set?
# Aug 10th 2008, 04:37 darki so if ha make a booking on account 490 i have to find 49003 as next possible booking id
# Aug 10th 2008, 04:37 darki no booking_id is not the pk - i have differents accounts: 489 490 491 etc. an every account can have booking ids (48901, 49001, 49002 ...)
# Aug 10th 2008, 04:36 Martz darki: no there is more than that, otherwise you would use auto increment?
# Aug 10th 2008, 04:36 darki just want to have the next possible number - doesnt matter if it is a string or an int
# Aug 10th 2008, 04:35 Martz darki: what are you trying to achieve? Whats the bigger picture...
# Aug 10th 2008, 04:35 NetersLandreau pgcd: i think you should be using [{$this->model->name}], shouldn't you?
# Aug 10th 2008, 04:35 darki am i right?
# Aug 10th 2008, 04:35 darki but if it is a string i cant add 1 - so if i find 48904 as last booking_id i cann use '48904'+1 to geht '48905' - i have to cast first
# Aug 10th 2008, 04:34 Martz could try LIKE 489%
# Aug 10th 2008, 04:34 darki and i only have to find a way using wildcards ;)
# Aug 10th 2008, 04:33 pgcd that is very true =)
# Aug 10th 2008, 04:33 darki ;)
# Aug 10th 2008, 04:33 darki mh okay, than i can use wildcards instead of math condistion
# Aug 10th 2008, 04:33 Martz pgcd: simplest != bestest ;)
# Aug 10th 2008, 04:33 pgcd i meant darki, sorry
# Aug 10th 2008, 04:32 pgcd martz: I think the simplest way would be for you to change that INT field into a string
# Aug 10th 2008, 04:32 darki i need to get the next possible booking id - the first 3 numbers are set, only the last 2 numbers can change - so booking id is between 48900 and 48999
# Aug 10th 2008, 04:32 pgcd Neters: here it is - you'll see it's unlikely it has much of an impact... http://bin.cakephp.org/view/1537795777
# Aug 10th 2008, 04:31 Martz darki: but thats such a nasty thing to be doing in your app right? for a booking_id ?
# Aug 10th 2008, 04:31 Martz or something along those lines?
# Aug 10th 2008, 04:30 Martz where MAX(field) and field > 489000 AND < 489999
# Aug 10th 2008, 04:30 darki martz: guess you are right, i have to overthink how to find the biggest int starting with 489 for example
# Aug 10th 2008, 04:29 NetersLandreau pgcd: you are close but there is something in the way you are redefining $form that is not exactly right
# Aug 10th 2008, 04:28 primeminister is it nate?
# Aug 10th 2008, 04:28 primeminister who is responsible for http://cake.insertdesignhere.com ?
# Aug 10th 2008, 04:28 Martz something isnt right if you are doing an int with wildcard? Shouldnt it be > or < or =
# Aug 10th 2008, 04:28 primeminister hi all
# Aug 10th 2008, 04:27 darki i'll try
# Aug 10th 2008, 04:27 NetersLandreau i feel badly when i have to refer anyone to the API.. but it is the absolute best source
# Aug 10th 2008, 04:26 darki mh okay than i need search for my self - not fine because i'm under time pressure
# Aug 10th 2008, 04:26 pgcd Neters: no, i mean the names i gave to the fields in the swfu init block
# Aug 10th 2008, 04:25 NetersLandreau darki: that is a question i have seen debated quite often.. the new way to parse conditions has been lambasted in some circles but the coders end up coming around to the new system.. i just don't recall the exact way to do it atm
# Aug 10th 2008, 04:24 darki i think i need something like "like"
# Aug 10th 2008, 04:23 NetersLandreau pgcd: it is in the way you extended the form helper
# Aug 10th 2008, 04:23 darki neters: should be but why dooes * not work? how can i get all fields beginning with 490 for example?
