Re: Multiple SUM in query

Figured out what the problem was for me. I had inserted this afterFind
() function in the app Model

http://teknoid.wordpress.com/2008/09/29/dealing-with-calculated-fields-in-cakephps-find/

so that the calculated fields show up in the appropriate models when
returned, and not in an ambiguous array. However it was causing this
SUM problem if there were more than one, so i found later when reading
the comments, one of the posters had made a modification to it so that
it would return multiples:

Solved my problem perfectly. Hope that helps someone, maybe the OP.
