@Michael: Yes, you are right, the method is not yet implemented. I added a hint in the article, thanks!

Hey Daniel,

I’ve been reading your blog for quite some time now and it really helped me to master learning cakephp and it still does.
Anyway, in this post you wrote that there’s a new ‘neighbors’ method for the new find() syntax. And although the ‘neighbors’ key is in the __findMethods array it seems that this method is NYI. Can you confirm this? Or am I doing something wrong. I’m with SVN HEAD.

Thanks

@jesse: Thanks, I forgot this one plus the “neighbors” type :| I fixed it in the article.

@Martin: Yes, that’s true. This article is about the “how” and not the “why” ;-)

I think that the purpose of the “new kind” of find isnt fully explained in this post. When I first read this article, I also felt that the getRecent was more useful. But when I got the original article of Nate, dude, that´s evil genious :)

‘list’ is another find() type

@nate: No problem :)

@Christian: Well, you can make it work in that way by adding “recent” => true to the $__findMethods array of the model. But as that array is meant to be private you shouldn’t manipulate it ;-)

Wouldnt $Model->find(‘recent’); work out of the box

It should call Model::_findRecent() according to Model.php line 1691-1695 ?
