RE: $this->field and contain

I was under the impression counterCache holds record counts thru the relationships.

 

I use that when a user has x number of related model records.

In this case it's a page view count that simply updates when viewed, no relation to anything else there is no User hasMany PageView relationship.

 

User hasMany Post, Post is viewed, update the view count of that Post.

User counterCache for number of Post for that user but the Post does not 150 PageView records.

 

Am I missing something?

Any reason you can't use counterCache?

Can you use / is there a way to read a field and not add in extra relation queries?

 

I have a very simple function to read 1 field and update it by +1

 

public function pageCount($id) {

                $this->id = $id;

                $count = $this->field('view_count', array('id' => $id)) + 1;

                $this->saveField('view_count', $count);

}

 

Right now the full page has 30 querys exectuted.
Removing this call from the controller.

 

$this->User->pageCount($user['User']['id']);

 

And the page queries drop to 23. Odd how a simple call to read 1 field and update by 1 creates 7 queries.

Looking at the extra queries its pulling in related models.

 

I can write a find and use contain => false I suppose but figured I would ask.
