In cakephp how can I do a find with conditions on a related field?

Question

I\'ve got a model (Listings) that has and belongs to a few different models, I\'d like to find all of this model where it\'s related model (Openhouses) have a condition. The

Answer 1

If you have a lot of linked models, settings recursive to 2 might bring more data than you might want.

If that is true, there is an alternative to what mavarro said, you can also try using the Containable behaviour:

$this->Listing->find
(
    'all', 
    array
    (
        'conditions' => array
        (
            'Openhouse.date >' => $openhouse_start->format('Y-m-d H:i:s'),
            'Openhouse.date <' => $openhouse_end->format('Y-m-d H:i:s')
        ),
        'contain' => array('Openhouse')
    )
);

Answer 2

Try this:

$this->List->find('all', array(
    'contain' => array(
        'Openhouse.conditions' => array(
            'Openhouse.date >' => $openhouse_start->format('Y-m-d H:i:s'),
            'Openhouse.date <' => $openhouse_end->format('Y-m-d H:i:s'))
        )
    )
)

Answer 3

$this->List->find('all', array(
    'contain' => array(
        'conditions' => array(
            'Openhouse.date >' => $openhouse_start->format('Y-m-d H:i:s'),
            'Openhouse.date <' => $openhouse_end->format('Y-m-d H:i:s')
                             ),
        'order' => array('Openhouse.date DESC')
                      )
                             )
)

Answer 4

Try adding a $this->Listing->recursive = 2; before the call to find all. That should link up the tables before the call giving you access to the Openhouse model from the Listing model.
