Yii limit on related model while querying

Question

I ran into limit problem. The code that I'm using is the following:

$model = PostCategory::model();
  $record = $model->with(array(
    'posts'=>array(
      'order'=>'posts.createTime DESC',
      'limit'=>3,
))->findByPK($id);

I want to limit the posts queried for paging purposes. I've also tried to add

'together'=>true

after limit, this doesn't help too.

Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

This will definitely work, just tested :

$model = PostCategory::model();
$record = $model->with(array(
  'posts'=>array(
     'order'=>'posts.createTime DESC',
  ))->findByPK($id,
             array('limit'=>3,'together'=>true) // adding this works
);

Here is a wiki on parameterized named scopes.

But if you want to filter records in RELATED tables while using Relational Query, then you should use defaultScope().

Here is a wiki on defaultScope and it also shows how to bypass defaultScope when it is not needed.
