    Reference to relation entity from controller Link to this post

    Hi,

    I have at Page class with a

    static $many_many = array('Teasers' => 'TeaserPage');


    and would like to get a reference to the related Teasers from a function in the controller class (Page_Controller).

    Any suggestions are welcome.
    Thanks.

    Regards Trym

    Hi Trym,

    You can just do $this->Teasers() - as this will fall over to the data model your controller is attached to. The general rule is that you access DB fields like instance properties, and relationships like methods.

    Hi

    Thanks ajshort.
    What should I do if I needed only a few of the entities before extracting them from the database (e.g. sql: WHERE teasers.colour = 'blue')?
    And any hints where I can read about this (code, wiki, documentation)?

    Thanks.

    Regards Trym
