I’ve been scouring the web for a while trying to figure this out. My brain is fried, so I need some help.
I have a model called Containers, a model called Assets and HABTM table called AssetsContainer.
So a container can have many assets…
The first question I have is when I’m doing this operation
$this->Container->read(null,$id);
How do I paginate the assets… right now I am only testing so there’s only 2 assets linked to the container. Am I assuming right that there would be an endless number of assets? If not, still, how do I paginate this data?
Next question is, each asset can be one of three different tables, Photos, Profiles, Blogs. Each of these models has a hasOne relationship of asset_id in each model. How do I get the read() function to retrieve this data automatically? My first instinct is to put a nominal field for each potential table of photo_id, profile_id and blog_id and update the model for Asset with the hasOne of each…. This way it will grab the data right?
Also, is this an instance where instead of read, I use find(‘all’) instead?
Many thanks,
Alan
Example of my Container->read below
