The problem that I’m trying to solve is to input information for Name, Description, and Title for example, in 3 different languages on the same page. When I hit SAVE, I want it to update/add 3 records in the info table. I’m not sure if this is a good enough description of my problem, but if someone is willing to help me out I can give more info. Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know if you can put a VARIABLE in the ‘order’ portion of the Model definition? I want to put in an order like:

order by field(language, $_SESSION['languageorder'])

where the order is specific to each session, and is a comma separated list of ids (3,1,4) for example. I cannot seem to use the variable in the code, it isn’t expecting the variable and gives an error….

Thanks

But thank you for taking the time to post. While the starving children of the world still won’t have anything to eat or a home that’s not a garbage can, they can face death knowing you will be out there on the internet, policing post titles. You’re a real hero.

To answer your question: you’ve missed everything.

Anyone else seen this issue?
Here are some details:

Ticket Model with a hasMany to a Change model:
class Ticket extends AppModel
{
var $name = ‘Ticket’;
var $hasMany = array(‘Change’ =>
array(‘className’ => ‘Change’, ‘conditions’ => ”,
‘order’ => ‘Change.modified_date DESC’,
‘limit’ => ‘10′,
‘foreignKey’ => ‘ticket_id’,
‘dependent’ => ‘true’,
‘exclusive’ => ‘false’,
‘finderQuery’ => ”,
‘fields’ => ”,
‘offset’ => ”,
‘counterQuery’ => ”));
…
}

class Change extends AppModel
{
var $name = ‘Change’;
}

my ‘changes’ table has ‘id’ and ‘ticket_id’ columns, plus some others.

my ‘tickets’ table has ‘id’ and ‘change_id’ columns, plus some others.

I call (from the tickets_controller):
$this->Ticket->save($this->data);
(this saves good)

then I call (from the tickets_controller):
$this->Ticket->Change->save($this->data)
(this fails, not sure why, how can I extract the error)

Any tips are appreciated.
Thanks, Kevin

@Shaun:
I know what you’re asking. I think when you make the call $this->Post->findAll() in your controller, you can specify the order. Check out the cake docs.

In any case, I’ve moved onto 1.2xx version, so the function calls are a bit different now. I think it would have been something like:

$this->Post->find(‘all’,array(“order”=>”Comments.body DESC”)) to sort by the ‘body’ field. Not sure if it’s the same on 1.1.x version tho.
