Model Association Not Correct - cakephp

Question

I am few months old with CakePHP. This is first time I am trying CakePhp Association. I assume I am following almost all instruction but still my model doesn't seem to work.
This is simple 'User' and 'Profile' Model. Table Structure: User:
- id (Primary Key)
- name
Profile:
- id (primary key)
- role
- user_id (Reference Key)
Models: User:
class UserModel extends AppModel{
var $name = 'User';
public $hasOne = array(
'Profile'
);
}
Profile:
class ProfileModel extends AppModel{
var $name = 'Profile';
public $belongsTo = array('User'); }
Controller: Users:
lass UsersController extends AppController{
var $name = 'Users';
public $scaffold;
function index(){
$user = $this->User->find('all'); //HERE I expect to get User and Profiles data
pr($user);
}
}
Profiles:
class ProfilesController extends AppController{
var $name = 'Profiles';
public $scaffold;
function index(){
$profile = $this->Profile->find('all');
pr($profile);
}
}
If I run users: /localhost/test_php_apps/users/ I get:
Array (
[0] => Array
(
[User] => Array
(
[id] => 1
[name] => rohini
)
)
)
I am wondering why 'Profile' data is not shown. I have manually added records in tables.
Further if I try in UsersController: $user = $this->User->Profile->find('all'); I get the following error:
Call to a member function find() on a non-object
My guess is something is wrong with setting up Associations. But not sure what is messing things up.
I know this is very basic question, but even after reading 10 to 15 related cases I don't seem to find the answer.
Any help will be much appreciated.

Answer 1

Do me a favor, change
class UserModel extends AppModel
to
class User extends AppModel
and
class ProfileModel extends AppModel
to
class Profile extends AppModel
and see if that helps when doing $user = $this->User->Profile->find('all'); in the UsersController.
Also, is
public $actsAs = array('Containable');
not
public $actAs = 'Containable';
not actAs. See if that helps any. If not, it would be helpful to know your cake version.
See here for containable and this for naming model conventions.

If you bake this things is made your life easier.
Models: User:
class User extends AppModel{
var $name = 'User';
public $hasMany = array(
'Profile'=>array(
'className' => 'Profile',
'foreignKey' => 'user_id',)
);
}
Profile:
class Profile extends AppModel{
var $name = 'Profile';
public $belongsTo = array(
'User' => array(
'className' => 'User',
'foreignKey' => 'user_id',
)
);
}
Controller: Users:
class UsersController extends AppController{
var $name = 'User';
public function index(){
$users = $this->User->find('all');
var_dump($users);
}
}
Controller Profile:
class ProfilesController extends AppController{
var $name = 'Profile';
public function index(){
$user_id = 2;
$users = $this->Profile->find('all', array('conditions'=>array('Profile.user_id'=>$user_id)));
var_dump($users);
}
}

Answer 3

add the following lines in your usermodel
public $useTable = 'YOUR USERTABLENAME';
and change
public $hasOne = array(
'Profile'
);
to public $hasOne = 'Profile';
in your profilmodel add the same.
public $useTable = 'YOUR PROFILETABLENAME';
and change
public $belongsTo = array('User');
to
public $belongsTo = array('User' => array('className' => 'User',
'foreignKey' => 'user_id'));
in your userscontontroller add this
public $uses = array('User','Profile');
normally it should work now when you try the query
$u = $this->User->find('all',array('contain' => array('Profile'));
or
$u = $this->User->find('all',array('recursive' => 2));
but it also should work if you write only:
$u $this->User->find('all');
