CakePHP - Third Part Assignments - php

Question

Sorry if the Title misses what i'm aiming at, but had no clue how to name this. Here's my Quest:
I have a single Cart, holding multiple Items (1:n) which are belonging to prices (1:1).
The Relations between Items and Prices are working as well:
class Item extends AppModel {
public $hasOne = 'Price';
}
class Price extends AppModel {
public $belongsTo = array(
'Item' => array(
'className' => 'Item',
'foreignKey' => 'id'
)
);
}
But now i make a select (find) of a cart and want those items included, which is also working as well:
class CartItem extends AppModel {
public $useTable = 'cart_items';
public $belongsTo = array('Item', 'Address');
}
But what i really need is to get those prices of each item, which is not working ($result in afterFind()-Callback in Item-Model does not include the assigned prices & afterFind()-Callback in Price-Model is not called when finding a cart)..
what am i missing here?
/EDIT: Recent Changes:
class AppModel extends Model {
var $actsAs = array('Containable');
}
class CartsController extends AppController {
public function getCart() {
$cart = ClassRegistry::init('CartItem')->find('all', array(
'contain' => array(
'Item' => array(
'Price'
),
'Address'
),
'conditions' => array(
'id_cart' => $cart['Cart']['id']
)
));
}
The above changes cause that i'll get a Price into a found Item but only into the last one thats found.

You haven't shown your actual find(), but I suspect you're not setting an appropriate 'recursive' param or are not using 'contain'.
I prefer using the containable behaviour enabled from AppModel:
var $actsAs = array('Containable');
Then you can do something like:
$cartItem = $this->CartItem->find(
'first',
array(
'contain' => array(
'Item' => array(
'Price'
),
'Address'
),
'conditions' => array('CartItem.id' => 123)
)
);
