This is called "dashboard" usually, but still only one controller, just with different data sources behind, e.g. different models fetching/processing data. |

@this.impetus do you really need different controller or just compose a page using data from different models? |
| # |
Sep 12th 2019, 14:47 |
this.impetus |
No, interestingly; it's a static document, ultimately—it could have been a word document except for the constraint that it be assembled from a database, the context for that is that this is serving an academic, data-retrieval purpose. |

I'm guessing you want a bunch of ajax requests? |

Making all those requests from within the document itself feels pretty uncake-like and is certainy unweidly. Any advice on a reasonable way to go about this? |

Hi guys—I've a question about approach, more than method, here; I'm authoring a page that is supposed to thread together and format requests of about a dozen different controllers (this single page is going to be enormous but it |

where id = x and slug = x |

Sep 12th 2019, 14:29 |

you could easily just delete directly from the join |
| # |
Sep 12th 2019, 14:29 |

i never really use that method |
| # |
Sep 12th 2019, 14:28 |

I'm guessing it's just the unorthodox structure that causes unlink to fail but i don't really know |
| # |
Sep 12th 2019, 14:26 |
jbcharron |
Yeah. I actually had to migrate the code from join table using TableA and TableB PKs to the slug one, and I tried to figure out a solution allowing me not to change the whole controllers code, which used the link() and unlink() function. And as the link() still worked, I was wondering why the unlink() didn't. But I guess I will have to try out a different solution :P |
| # |
Sep 12th 2019, 14:24 |
ricksaccous |
and you could maybe have a flag for latest tag you update in app logic as well, sounds like a pain |
| # |
Sep 12th 2019, 14:23 |
ricksaccous |
then you'd achieve the same thing |
| # |
Sep 12th 2019, 14:23 |
jbcharron |
yep, that's the idea, a many have many. For example, my ObjectA has 3 versions, I link it with tags (using the slug, so my tags are linked to all the object versions), so if I delete the last version of my object, the versions 1 and 2 of my object don't lose the link to the tags |
| # |
Sep 12th 2019, 14:23 |
ricksaccous |
one thing you could do is post/preprocess records from slugs to records if you really want |
| # |
Sep 12th 2019, 14:22 |
ricksaccous |
hmmm |
| # |
Sep 12th 2019, 14:21 |
ricksaccous |
in this case i don't think joindata makes sense |
| # |
Sep 12th 2019, 14:20 |
ricksaccous |
many have many |
| # |
Sep 12th 2019, 14:20 |
ricksaccous |
i mean |
| # |
Sep 12th 2019, 14:20 |
ricksaccous |
but using both pks you could still say one has many, but i suppose you want to relate them to subsets |
| # |
Sep 12th 2019, 14:20 |
ricksaccous |
maybe i'm missing something |
| # |
Sep 12th 2019, 14:19 |
ricksaccous |
that seems unecessary |
| # |
Sep 12th 2019, 14:15 |
jbcharron |
And so, the versions share the same Tags (which is the purpose of my join table) |
| # |
Sep 12th 2019, 14:15 |
jbcharron |
Actually, no :( this is a model containing many versions of the same business object, the versions 1 to N share the same slug |
| # |
Sep 12th 2019, 14:09 |
ricksaccous |
are slugs not unique? |
| # |
Sep 12th 2019, 14:09 |
ricksaccous |
how is it a hasMany to TableB |
| # |
Sep 12th 2019, 14:07 |

too. Thanks in advance :slightly_smiling_face: |

`link()` function works well, but the `unlink()` gets nothing in the `_joinData` property, and try to unlink using my `TableB` primary key value in my join table foreign key field, which is not linked to the primary key of TableB. I don't know if I explained this issue in a clear way, but I don't understand why the link() works and not the unlink(). They don't follow the exact same process, but I expect that if one works, the other one should work |

Hi there, I am struggling with `unlink()` in a `belongsToMany` association. I have a join table using `TableA_id` and `TableB_slug` as foreign keys to `TableA` and `TableB`, where `TableA.id` is a primary key, and `TableB.slug` is not. So basically my join table is linked to `TableA` with a `belongsTo`, and `TableB` with `hasMany`. TableA and TableB are linked to each other with `belongsToMany` through my join table. My issue is that the |

by "db table" i meant your actual database table where you can set column defaults |

I personally prefer the first option as you can cleary see how many levels deep you go. With the third option you can add more limitations |
