Question

I have a situation here
there are two models User,Posts
Now I want to list those posts posted by user whose userType=1
Is this possible by tweaking the relations among User & Posts or by adding any kind of scopes?

The relations which I’ve now

User
'Posts' => array(self::HAS_MANY, 'Post', 'userId'),

Posts
'User' => array(self::BELONGS_TO, 'User', 'userId'),

Answer 1

You can do this with named scopes or with relations. For example you could define your relation like this:

'Posts' => array(self::HAS_MANY, 'Post', 'userId', 'condition' => 't.userType=1')
