yep, you have to, that's how cakephp sets relationships between models
in the User model you say something like
<?php
class User extends AppModel
{
var $name = 'User';
var $belongsTo = 'Group';
}
?>
and in the Group model
<?php
class Group extends AppModel
{
var $name = 'Group';
var $hasMany= 'User';
}
?>
And that's it.
IF you don't follow the cake conventions for ids, tables, or if you
need some different queries or conditions for a Model (for example,
you may want by default showing only users without administration
rights), you may need to be more verbose on these declarations, as
stated in the manual: http://manual.cakephp.org/chapter/models
var $belongsTo = array('User' =>
array('className' => 'User',
'conditions' => '',
'order' => '',
'foreignKey' => 'user_id'
)
);
var $hasMany = array('Comment' =>
array('className' => 'Comment',
'conditions' => 'Comment.moderated = 1',
'order' => 'Comment.created DESC',
'limit' => '5',
'foreignKey' => 'user_id',
'dependent' => true,
'exclusive' => false,
'finderSql' => ''
)
);
got it ? :)
