How to get and show data from different models in Cakephp - cakephp

Question

I have 3 tables: orders, discounts and products in the way that product has many discounts (discount times). Discount has many orders. in other words, it looks like: Product > Discount > Order.
How can I get all data from 3 table, put it into one order view (do it in Order controller) and show it out (in Order view).
That's what I did, but It didnt work:
//Order controller
public function index() {
$this->Order->recursive=1;
$this->set('orders', $this->Order->find('all'));
}
// Order view
<?php foreach ($orders as $order): ?>
<tr>
<td><?php echo $order ['Order']['order_id']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $this->Html->link($order['Product']['product_name'], array('controller' => 'products', 'action' => 'view', $order['Product']['product_id'])); ?></td> //I showed it here
<td><?php echo $order['Order']['order_date']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $order['Order']['payment']; ?></td>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php unset($order); ?>
Please help me! thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Since you mention that you are in Order controller you can do any of these:
$this->Order->Behaviors->load('Containable');
$orders = $this->Order->find('all', array(
'contain' => array('Discount' => 'Product')));
$this->set(compact('orders'));
Now, in your view you can iterate over $orders variable.
PS: Of course, I am assuming here that Discount Belongs to Product.

You can do this easy way and different functionality
public function index() {
$this->set('datas',
$this->Order->find('all',
array (
'conditions' => array('Site_id' => $site_name),
'fields' => array('Date_time','Ac_1_Status','Tempin'),
'order' => array('id' => 'desc'),
'limit' => 200
)
)
);
}
