# Sep 21st 2011, 14:03 dakota Section58: Got to be off. Hope you figure it out
# Sep 21st 2011, 14:03 Ghost_Trolley good afternoon, btw ;)
# Sep 21st 2011, 14:03 Ghost_Trolley Yo section58, is there an easy way to display text next to a field ('please enter a postcode') when its left blank?
# Sep 21st 2011, 14:03 Section58 and this was my attempt of making it work better
# Sep 21st 2011, 14:02 Section58 to a complex mess that makes no sence
# Sep 21st 2011, 14:02 Section58 its been the same query slowly building up
# Sep 21st 2011, 14:02 Section58 and no
# Sep 21st 2011, 14:02 Section58 NetersLandreau: it does work ..
# Sep 21st 2011, 14:02 Section58 somehow get joins working after its done the containable magic for the other filters
# Sep 21st 2011, 14:02 NetersLandreau Section58: you've been battling this for a few days.. perhaps you may just want to make it work and then make it work better?
# Sep 21st 2011, 14:01 Section58 its like i wanna do a mini query inside a query
# Sep 21st 2011, 14:01 Section58 i guess i would have to drop contains for joins.
# Sep 21st 2011, 14:01 Section58 it needs a lot of tcl, i don't wanna be making it slower with poor querys
# Sep 21st 2011, 14:00 Section58 this whole site app is wack
# Sep 21st 2011, 14:00 TehTreag )
# Sep 21st 2011, 14:00 dakota I use joins quite often in some projects. Sometimes relations are just too complex to do any other way
# Sep 21st 2011, 14:00 dakota TehTreag: likewise. but it isn't as clean as 'contains' => array('TutorialView')
# Sep 21st 2011, 13:59 TehTreag dakota: Looks nice enough to me.
# Sep 21st 2011, 13:59 TehTreag http://bin.cakephp.org/view/756877933
# Sep 21st 2011, 13:58 dakota the joins syntax isn't as clean as what you'd probably like, but it works :)
# Sep 21st 2011, 13:58 dakota Section58: http://book.cakephp.org/view/1047/Joining-tables
# Sep 21st 2011, 13:58 Section58 i am happy to make lots of spag code if it tidys the querys to something less than 25
# Sep 21st 2011, 13:57 dakota Section58: but you can do it with 'ad-hoc joins'
# Sep 21st 2011, 13:57 Section58 Are you interjecting again?
# Sep 21st 2011, 13:57 dakota Section58: you can't really (Without doing some extra binds)
# Sep 21st 2011, 13:57 Section58 TehTreag: ?
# Sep 21st 2011, 13:57 Section58 yeah that sql is what i thought i wanted, how to make that in contain is over my head
# Sep 21st 2011, 13:57 TehTreag ~tell Section58 about relations
# Sep 21st 2011, 13:57 Section58 strange way of doing that
# Sep 21st 2011, 13:57 Section58 i think so, just worked that out
# Sep 21st 2011, 13:56 dakota so event belongsTo Venue?
# Sep 21st 2011, 13:56 Section58 no. not for this system
# Sep 21st 2011, 13:55 dakota can a event have more than one venue?
# Sep 21st 2011, 13:55 dakota hope that makes sense
# Sep 21st 2011, 13:55 dakota Section58: I would write a query something like: select from artists join artistsevents on (artistsevents.artist_id = artist.id) join events (events.id = artistsevents.event_id AND start_date >= currentDate) join eventsvenue on (...) join venues (venues.id = eventsvenue.venue_id) group by artists.id order events.start_date asc
# Sep 21st 2011, 13:55 Section58 if they were bto's or hasmans then it would just link in one line :)
# Sep 21st 2011, 13:54 Section58 that fact its 2 distant habtm's is why its so hard
# Sep 21st 2011, 13:53 Section58 it might not search itself 20 times
# Sep 21st 2011, 13:53 Section58 maybe if i could somehow make Events hasone Venues
# Sep 21st 2011, 13:53 dakota Section58: it's good for 95% of queries. Complex stuff like this is kinda falls over on
# Sep 21st 2011, 13:53 Section58 i don't think i wanna use it anymore
