    <p>We are converting an application for use with CakePHP 2.0.3. For some reason, I cannot seem to set proper relations between my models. </p> <p>Here's an example:</p> <ul> <li>User (id, petid, country, picid, ...)</li> <li>Pet (id, userid, picid, ...)</li> <li>Picture (id, albumid, ....)</li> <li>Album (id, userid, petid, ...)</li> </ul> <p>The meanings of these are the following: - A user can have multiple pets, but can only have selected one pet at the same time (therefore, petid in User)<br /><br /> - Pets belong to one user<br /><br /> - Pets and Users can have multiple pictures, but only one profile picture, therefore Pet.picid and User.picid<br /><br /> - Pets and users can have multiple Albums<br /><br /></p> <p>I set up my models in CakePHP, but I cannot figure out which relations to use between them since the Database is not following the conventions. I've tried the following:</p> <ul> <li><p>User<br /> -> hasMany(Pets)<br /> -> hasOne(Picture)<br /> -> hasMany(Album)<br /></p></li> <li><p>Pet<br /> -> belongsTo(User) (works fine, with foreignkey userid)<br /> -> hasMany(Album)<br /> -> hasOne(Picture)<br /></p></li> <li><p>Album<br /> -> hasMany(Picture)<br /></p></li> </ul> <p><em><strong></em> ---- Logic to achieve this? It either belongs to a user or pet-----</strong></p> <p>-> belongsTo(User)<br /> -> belongsTo(Pet)<br /></p> <ul> <li>Picture<br /> -> belongsTo(Album)<br /></li> </ul> <p>I'm new to CakePHP and cannot figure out the way to go here. Do you have any suggestions? </p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
