How to left outer join next tables? - cakephp

Question

I have two tables like this:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `publications` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`numerated` tinyint(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
`title` text COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci,
`collection_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
`note` text CHARACTER SET utf8,
`adminNote` text CHARACTER SET utf8,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
KEY `collectionId` (`collection_id`)
KEY `numerated` (`numerated`),
) ;
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `publication_numerations` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`publication_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
`published` tinyint(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
`book` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
`number` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
KEY `publication_id` (`publication_id`)
) ;
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `properties` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`publication_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
`value` varchar(255) CHARACTER SET utf8 DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
KEY `publication_id` (`publication_id`)
)
All I need is to have list of all records from table publications and publication_numerations. Tryed with cake bake model/controller/view, but all the time it joins
publications and properties, without publication_numerations.
Can you help me to solve this?
Thank you very much in advance!
UPDATED: so, all I need is to create and use it as default query:
SELECT * FROM `publications`
LEFT JOIN `publication_numerations` ON (`publications`.`id` = publication_numerations.`publication_id`)
UPDATED: here are my models
publications model
var $hasOne = array(
'Publisher' => array(
'className' => 'Publisher',
'foreignKey' => 'publication_id',
'conditions' => '',
'fields' => '',
'order' => ''
),
);
var $belongsTo = array(
'Collection' => array(
'className' => 'Collection',
'foreignKey' => 'collection_id',
'conditions' => '',
'fields' => '',
'order' => ''
)
);
var $hasMany = array(
'PublicationProperty' => array(
'className' => 'PublicationProperty',
'foreignKey' => 'publication_id',
'dependent' => false,
'conditions' => '',
'fields' => '',
'order' => '',
'limit' => '',
'offset' => '',
'exclusive' => '',
'finderQuery' => '',
'counterQuery' => ''
),
'PublicationNumeration' => array(
'className' => 'PublicationNumeration',
'foreignKey' => 'publication_id',
'conditions' => '',
'fields' => '',
'order' => ''
)
);
}
?>
PublicationNumeration model
var $belongsTo = array(
'Publication' => array(
'className' => 'Publication',
'foreignKey' => 'publication_id',
'conditions' => '',
'fields' => '',
'order' => ''
)
);
var $hasMany = array(
'Publication' => array(
'className' => 'Publication',
'foreignKey' => 'publication_id',
'conditions' => '',
'fields' => '',
'order' => ''
)
);
}
?>
Collection modes
var $hasMany = array(
'Property' => array(
'className' => 'Property',
'foreignKey' => 'collection_id',
'dependent' => false,
'conditions' => '',
'fields' => '',
'order' => '',
'limit' => '',
'offset' => '',
'exclusive' => '',
'finderQuery' => '',
'counterQuery' => ''
),
'Publication' => array(
'className' => 'Publication',
'foreignKey' => 'collection_id',
'dependent' => false,
'conditions' => '',
'fields' => '',
'order' => '',
'limit' => '',
'offset' => '',
'exclusive' => '',
'finderQuery' => '',
'counterQuery' => ''
)
);
}
?>

Answer 1

You can do joins in cake like so:
$joins = array(
array('table' => 'publication_numerations',
'alias' => 'PublicationNumeration',
'type' => 'LEFT',
'conditions' => array(
'Publication.id = PublicationNumeration.publication_id',
)
)
);
$this->Publication->find('all', array('joins' => $joins));

Answer 2

Tryed with cake bake
model/controller/view, but all the
time it joins publications and
properties, without
publication_numerations.
So, create associations manually - Associations: Linking Models Together. It does not seems that you need 'joins'. By setting associations correctly you will be able to get the list you need by using find('list') in your controller - http://book.cakephp.org/view/1017/Retrieving-Your-Data#find-list-1022.

Answer 3

Try making the type attribute of $join array 'LEFT OUTER' instead of 'LEFT'.
