Re: Associating model aliases

Hi John,

thank you for your reply.

As stated, is done exactly as in the Cookbook:

<?php
class Message extends AppModel {
var $name = 'Message';
var $belongsTo = array(
'Sender' => array(
'className' => 'User',
'foreignKey' => 'user_id'
),
'Recipient' => array(
'className' => 'User',
'foreignKey' => 'recipient_id'
)
);
}
?>

<?php
class User extends AppModel {
var $name = 'User';
var $hasMany = array(
'MessageSent' => array(
'className' => 'Message',
'foreignKey' => 'user_id'
),
'MessageReceived' => array(
'className' => 'Message',
'foreignKey' => 'recipient_id'
)
);

var $hasOne = 'Profile'; // this for the Profile association
}
?>

Best,

Mario
