Retrieving related model's data CakePHP - cakephp

Question

Here is the database tables in question:
Companies:
____________________
| id | name |
____________________
| 1| Unimex|
| 2| Solomex|
Users:
________________________
| id | name | company_id
_________________________
| 1| John | 1
| 2| Ricky| 2
Events:
_____________________________________
| id | user_id | details | date|
_____________________________________
| 1| 1| null | 2014-04-01
| 2| 1| null | 2014-04-15
| 3| 2| null | 2013-04-01
| 4| 1| null | 2014-04-02
What I would like to do is to retrieve a list of users(based on company's id) and their related events for a range of dates. What I have tried to do is the following:
$users = $this->User->find('all',
array(
'conditions' => array(
'company_id' => CakeSession::read("Auth.User.company_id")
),
'contain' => array(
'Event' => array(
'conditions' => array(
'Event.date >=' => $from,
'Event.date <=' => $to
)
)
)
)
);
This way I get the list of Users with their related events, but the $from and $to dates are not taken into consideration, meaning all of the events for a particular user are returned.
The relations are like following:
Event:
var $belongsTo = array(
'User' => array(
'className' => 'User',
'foreignKey' => 'user_id'
));
User:
var $hasMany = array(
'Event' => array(
'className' => 'Event',
'foreignKey' => 'user_id',
'dependent' => false,
)
);
var $belongsTo = array(
'Company' => array(
'className' => 'Company',
'foreignKey' => 'company_id',
'dependent' => false,
),
);
Company:
var $hasMany = array(
'User' => array(
'className' => 'User',
'foreignKey' => 'company_id',
'dependent' => false
));
Any help or guidance is much appreciated.
Following are the two queries that are executed by cakePHP:
SELECT `User`.`id`, `User`.`company_id`, `User`.`name`, `User`.`surname`, `User`.`email`, `User`.`phone`, `Company`.`id`, `Company`.`name`, `Company`.`address` FROM `database`.`users` AS `User` LEFT JOIN `database`.`companies` AS `Company` ON (`User`.`company_id` = `Company`.`id`) WHERE `company_id` = 54
SELECT `Event`.`id`, `Event`.`customer_id`, `Event`.`user_id`,`Event`.`details`, `Event`.`hours`, `Event`.`minutes`, `Event`.`xhours`, `Event`.`xminutes`, `Event`.`assignment`, `Event`.`start_time` FROM `database`.`events` AS `Event` WHERE `Event`.`user_id` IN (124, 125, 126, 141, 143, 144, 147, 156)
So as you can see the date in the Event field conditions is not taken into consideration. If there is any other important information that I can provide, please, just let me know.
Moreover, I have just tried to retrieve only specific fields of the Event model, and that did not work as well. So basically the model is just contained as is, an no other parameter is applied.
Or maybe the model is not contained at all and the result I get is only because of the recursive being set to 1?

Answer 1

I don't see the error only as a suggestion
$users = $this->User->find('all',
array(
'contain' => array(
'Event' => array(
'conditions' => array(
'and' => array(
array(
'Event.date >=' => $from,
'Event.date <=' => $to
),
'company_id' => CakeSession::read("Auth.User.company_id")
)
)
)
)
)
);

Answer 2

The problem is that there was a typo. I always thought it has to be:
var $actAs = array('Containable');
But it actually had to be $actsAs.
