Re: Self referencing in belongsTo

Hey,

I think what you want to show is $role['ParentRole']['name'] instead of $role['Role']['name']

atenciosamente,

Hi there,

I'm new to Cakephp and I'm trying to build a small system wich Users have Roles and Roles MAY have a parent Role

So I tried to change the name of the model to parentRole like below:

var $belongsTo = array(

'parentRole' => array(

'className' => 'Role',

'foreignKey' => 'role_id'

In database, everything is ok, showing a Manager has a parent Superadmin, but it doesn't seem to fetch the correct name for the parentRole in roles/index.

I also tried changing:

<?php echo $this->Html->link($role['Role']['name'], array('controller' => 'roles', 'action' => 'view', $role['Role']['id'])); ?>

To:

<?php echo $this->Html->link($role['Role']['name'], array('controller' => 'roles', 'action' => 'view', $role['Role']['role_id'])); ?>

But made no difference.

I know it should be something simple, but can't find a solution.

Is there anything to change in controller? Anyone could help me?

Regards,

Rodrigo
