Hi,

I'm having an error using Containable, my problem is already describe
in https://trac.cakephp.org/ticket/4988 but the explanation of the
problem is not very clear.

So if we have the models:

1 - Node hasMany NodeTemplate
2 - NodeTemplate HasMany TextContent, AssetContent

 When executing the following code:

        pr($this->Node->NodeTemplate->hasMany);
        $this->Node->find('first',array(
                                    'contain'=>array(
                                            'NodeTemplate' => array(

'TextContent'=>array('fields'=>array('id'))
                                                    )
                                        )
                                ));
        pr($this->Node->NodeTemplate->hasMany);

The hasMany NodeTemplate break and looses the connection to
AssetContent.

After some debugging I did found out that the problem is in the
configuration of the TextContent in the contain.

If you try:

        pr($this->Node->NodeTemplate->hasMany);
        $this->Node->find('first',array(
                                    'contain'=>array(
                                            'NodeTemplate' => array(
                                                        'TextContent'
                                                    )
                                        )
                                ));
        pr($this->Node->NodeTemplate->hasMany);

OR

        pr($this->Node->NodeTemplate->hasMany);
        $this->Node->find('first',array(
                                    'contain'=>array(
                                            'NodeTemplate' => array(

'TextContent'=>array('OtherModel')
                                                    )
                                        )
                                ));
        pr($this->Node->NodeTemplate->hasMany);

It works ok.

if you use any parameter that is not a associated Model name like
fields, conditions, order, etc it doesn't work and breaks the
associations of the NodeTemplate by losing the one that is not used in
the contain.

Can anyone confirm this behavior? I'm using 1.2.5 version of cake.

Thx in advance.

Using 1.2.5 too, can't recreate the issue.

User hasMany Author hasMany Article, Ebook
[code]
      debug($this->User->hasMany);
      debug(
      $this->User->find('first',array(
         'contain'=>array(
            'Author' => array(
               'Article' => array('fields' => array('id') )
            )
         )
      ))
      );
      debug($this->User->hasMany);
[/code]

Shows the same state of hasMany before and afther the find.

Please show the code that defines how your models are related!

The ticket is closed as fixed!
Enjoy,
   John

DISREGARD, just saw the real issue, not at the User hasMany, but at
the Author hasMany!
Yes, I see the same problem!
Enjoy,
