Hi there. I've got a model Employee which belongsTo an Address-model. When I fetch data from the Employees model, the associated Address record gets fetched too. Additionally, the Address model has a virtualField full_name. This looks like this:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[Employee] => Array
(
[id] => 1
[address_id] => 33
[username] => ...
...
)
[Address] => Array
(
[id] => 33
[firstname] => Blah
[full_name] => Blah Blubb
...
)
)
[1] => Array (
[Employee] => Array (
[id] => 2
...
I want to have included this virtualField in the Employee part of the data array too, like
Array (
[0] => Array (
[Employee] => Array
(
[id] => 1
[full_name] => Blah Blubb
...
)
Tis isn't possible to solve by just adding
$virtualFields = array(
'full_name' => 'CONCAT_WS(" ", Address.firstname, Address.surname)',
);
to the Employees model, as the Cookbook states There is a solution proposed ("copy virtualFields from one model to another at runtime when you need to access them"), but I don't understand this solution. Where do I have to place this? In the controller? In the model in the find function?
Thanks for Help
