Re: Pagination

You know my example was a different then my actual code (I know I should have just used it)

I have two cities per book.

IE

main_city_id (where it was written)
billing_city_id (where the author wants to get paid)

How do I distinguish them?  I can't use City.name

Thanks.

If it's hasMany then I think your relationship should be:

var $hasMany = array(
        'Book' => array(
            'className' => 'Book',

            'foreignKey' => 'city_id', // books table has city_id

            'conditions' => '',
            'fields' => '',
            'order' => ''
        ));

In that case, Book belongsTo City

class Book extends AppModel {

  var $belongsTo = array('City', 'Author');

}

Then you can paginate like the example I had above since it will LEFT join the city models for all the books, as long as you contain the city model:

// in books controller

$this->paginate = array(

  'contain' => array('City', 'Author');

);

$this->paginate('Book'); // paginate from the book model to be able to sort by Book, Author or City

City hasMany books, books only have one author.

City.name didn't work

var $hasMany = array(
        'Book' => array(
            'className' => 'Book',
            'foreignKey' => 'book_id',
            'conditions' => '',
            'fields' => '',
            'order' => ''
        ));

Is City a hasOne or belongsTo relationship? If so, and your find code is using contain or recursive to include those in the results, you can do this:

$this->Paginator->sort('Where Written', 'City.name');

Check your data and SQL queries to see if it's joined that way.

Trying to use the paginator in the view

I have an Author who is has a Book and where the "book" was written (book_id.name, city_id.name)
Author sort works, title sort work, but not the sort for city_id. I can sort by the id, but obviously this won't work because
the id has nothing to do with the name of the city.



<th><?php echo $this->Paginator->sort('Author', 'name'); ?></th>
<th><?php echo $this->Paginator->sort('Book', 'title.name'); ?></th>
<th><?php echo $this->Paginator->sort('Where Written', 'title.city_id'); ?></th> (sorts, but the names are not sorted because
it is using the id)

need something like this
<th><?php echo $this->Paginator->sort('Where Written', 'title.city_id.name'); ?></th> //does not work.

Is there a way to get this to work, or is it a customer pagination?

thanks..
