What should be written in the index() in the Controller if I have belongsTo Model?

For example I have a model
class A extends AppModel {
var $name = 'A';
var $belongsTo = array(
'B' => array(
'className' => 'B',
'foreignKey' => 'b_id'
)
);
}

In the controller I try
$filter = $this->Filter->process($this, array('id','b_id'));

index.ctp:
Form->create('A',array('url'=>array('action'=>'index')));?>
Form->input('id');?>
Form->input('b_id');?>
Form->end('Search');?>
…

I get my combobox for b_id and wait for values in the combobox but there is nothing there.

I don’t have much time right now (work + studies = no much free time). Maybe if I will need this feature in the future where will be a next realese.
Right now, fill free to upgrade it yourself ;D

Thanks for the component!

When would the nested search behavior of your component be available? It would be very helpful if you could add this functionality to your component.

Thanks for the very handy component.

I have a table with 3 fields I would like to search in; username, name and email. Is it possible to generate a query something like “(name like %blah% OR username like %blah% OR email like %blah%) AND whateverelse = something” using your filter component? Obviously it is quite easy to generate ANDs.

For this moment - no :(. Only current model and belongsTo models can be filtered.

very good component!! just what i needed, but i’m having some problems, im doing the pagination with the containable behavior, and im unable to filter the deeper nested models, just the first lvl

var $paginate = array(’limit’=>’20′,’contain’=>array(
‘ConfEstadorma’=>array(’fields’=>array(’title’)),
‘ConfEstadormaprov’=>array(’fields’=>array(’title’)),
‘LnRmamensaje’=>array(’fields’=>array(’mensaje’)),
‘LnInstanciaproducto’=>array(’fields’=>array(’id’,’serial’),
‘AbmProducto’=>array(’fields’=>array(’title’,'orden’))
)
));

i cant get to LnInstanciaproducto.AbmProducto.title

LnInstanciaproducto.serial works fine…

is there a way to get it working??

@Bhupinder Singh
Checkout SQL syntax.
You may use: “CAST(`Video`.`create` AS date) = ‘2007-10-28′

You have made a very good component. But there is a problem with ‘datetime’ fields. If I enter a value like ‘2007-10-28′ into a field which is having type ‘datetime’ it outputs the query something like “`Video`.`created` = ‘2007-10-28′ ”

It should be something like “date(`Video`.`created`) = ‘2007-10-28′ ”

Is it possible ?

Hi Matt. I was on holidays and I have just read your comments. Of course your approach is the simple one. Thanks for advise! What about customizations… I’ll do my best, but I don’t know when. I have to finish few projects, but I’ll do my best in a free time.
Cheers!
