here's my problem:
Table1: Posts
id - int
title - varchar
Table2: Categories
id - int
name - varchar
HABTM JoinTable: categories_posts
id - int
post_id - int
category_id - int
postorder - int
As you can see, the join table contains a field called 'postorder' - This is for ordering the posts in a particular category. For example,
Posts: Post1, Post2, Post3, Post4
Categories: Cat1, Cat2
Ordering:
Cat1 - Post1, Post3, Post2
Cat2 - Post3, Post1, Post4
Now in CakePHP,
$postpages = $this->Post->Category->find('all');
gives me a array like
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[Category] => Array
(
[id] => 13
[name] => Cat1
)
[Post] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id] => 1
[title] => Post2
[CategoriesPost] => Array
(
[id] => 17
[post_id] => 1
[category_id] => 13
[postorder] => 3
)
)
[1] => Array
(
[id] => 4
[title] => Post1
[CategoriesPost] => Array
(
[id] => 21
[post_id] => 4
[category_id] => 13
[postorder] => 1
)
)
)
)
)
As you can see [Post], they are not ordered according to [CategoriesPost].postorder but are ordered according to [CategoriesPost].id. How can I get the array ordered according to [CategoriesPost].postorder?
Thanks in advance for your time :)
Update 1: The Queries from Cake's SQL Log are:
SELECT `Category`.`id`, `Category`.`name` FROM `categories` AS `Category` WHERE 1 = 1
SELECT `Post`.`id`, `Post`.`title`, `CategoriesPost`.`id`, `CategoriesPost`.`post_id`, `CategoriesPost`.`category_id`, `CategoriesPost`.`postorder` FROM `posts` AS `Post` JOIN `categories_posts` AS `CategoriesPost` ON (`CategoriesPost`.`category_id` IN (13, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52) AND `CategoriesPost`开发者_JAVA技巧.`post_id` = `Post`.`id`)
What I am looking for is how to make cake put a Order By CategoriesPost.postorder in that second SELECT SQL Query.
Update 2: Trying to use order as following
$this->Post->Category->find('all',array('order'=>array('postorder'=>'ASC')));
throws an SQL error
SQL Error: 1054: Unknown column 'PostsCategory.postorder' in 'order clause'
The SQL Query is
SELECT `Category`.`id`, `Category`.`name` FROM `categories` AS `Category` WHERE 1 = 1 ORDER BY `CategoriesPost`.`postorder` ASC
Instead of an ORDERBY in the second SQL query (in my update1), its getting executed in the first SQL query as shown above.
Try to make it part of the association:
var $hasAndBelongsToMany = array(
'Post' => array(
...
'order' => 'CategoriesPost.postorder DESC',
)
)
This may or may not work, haven't tested it.
