Question

I have a model for User and a model for Notes.

User Model:

class User extends AppModel {
var $name = 'User';
var $hasMany = array(
'Note' 
    );
 }

User Controller:

public function notesview()
  {
  $allnotes = $this->User->Note->find('all', array('order'=>'Note.created DESC'));
  } 

View Element:

$allnotes = $this->requestAction(array('controller'=>'Users', 'action'=>'notesview'));
foreach($allnotes as $viewnotes):
{
    echo $viewnotes['Note']['notes']; 
    echo "<br>";
    echo $viewnotes['Note']['created'];
    echo "<br>";
    echo $viewnotes['User']['name'];

}
endforeach;

Now in the element you can see ” echo $viewnotes[‘User’][‘name’]; “. I want Name field from User model to be retrieved in this element but i get the following error:

Notice (8): Undefined index: User [APP\View\Elements\notes.ctp, line 39]

Answer 1

Do you have the belongsTo relationship set inside your Note model?

So, for example, you would have:

<?php
class Note extends AppModel {
    public $belongsTo = array('User');
}
