CakePHP Relation on link

The following link is used in a list of Favours! It links to a place where the user is from but is being used inside the favour lis开发者_JAVA百科t Hence the favour variable.

I have three models Users, Places and Favours. A user has many favours and one place, a favour belongs to a user.

<?php foreach($favours as $favour): ?>

<p><?php echo $this->Html->link($favour['User']['firstname'] . ' ' . $favour['User']['lastname'], array('controller'=>'users','action'=>'view','userName'=>$favour['User']['username'])); ?> in <?php echo $this->Html->link($favour['Place']['name'], array('controller'=>'places','action'=>'view',$favour['Place']['id'])); ?> asked a favour <?php echo $favour['Favour']['datetime']; ?></p>

<h3><?php echo $this->Html->link($favour['Favour']['title'], array('controller'=>'favours','action'=>'view',$favour['Favour']['id'])); ?></h3>

How do I display the link as at the moment I get an error saying that Place is undefined.

This is the controller action for that list:

function index()
{
    $favours = $this->paginate();

    if (isset($this->params['requested']))
    {
        return $favours;
    }
    else
    {
        $this->set('favours', $favours);
    }
}

Make sure you contain Place when fetching data for Favour.

This is how it should look like in your favours_controller:

function index(){
    $favours = $this->Favour->find('all');
    $places = $this->Favour->Place->find('all');
    $this->paginate();
    $this->set(compact('users', 'places');
}

This is how it should look like in your index.ctp:

<?php foreach($favours as $favour): ?>
<?php echo $this->Html->link($favour['Favour']['username'], array('controller'=>'users','action'=>'view', $favour['Favour']['username'])); ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php foreach($places as $place): ?>
<?php echo $this->Html->link($place['Place']['place'], array('controller'=>'places','action'=>'view', $place['Place']['place'])); ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>

You may also need to define the uses variable:

var $uses = array('Place');
