Re: Cake 2.0 and object-based models

[Stuart Miller]

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I wasn't looking for how to do getAge(), but rather the best place to put such a method so that it would be available to views and such.

I normally would put these type of methods in the value objects/transfer objects that I use to pass data between the model and the other layers of my application. But I'll have to wait until Cake 2.0 for this feature. So where do I put this type of method now? In the controller? In the data access model?

function getAge($id=null)

    if (!$birthdate) return null;

    return calculate_age($birthdate);

}

I would use field since all we are concerned with is the birthdate

This should work.
