Question

I have a model without a db table used to display information that is stored in a session.

I am able to display the content in the session which was loaded from a given table using

$ids = Yii::app()->storedData->getIds();
foreach($ids as $id) {
echo 'ID '.$id .'<br />'; 
} 

Instead of displaying the Ids I would rather display information from a related table of the table from which this info was loaded into the session.

To help explain what I am after, given:

I have ModelC to display session data that is loaded from TableA. Currently with the code above the returned values are TableAId. I would rather display TableB:Description instead. How can I go about doing this without just loading that Description value into the session data too?

Answer 1

I’m not entirely sure what you’re after but if you want to be able to do:

echo $modelC->description;

And have the TableB description returned, just use a getter on the ModelC class:

class ModelC extends CModel{ // confusing ?
    public function getDescription(){
         return ModelB::model()->findByPk($this->tableBId);
    }
}

Is that what you were after?
