    Hi,
    I'm a new Akelos enthusiast, I'm unable to think to my previous days without this awesome framework! If I'm able to get where I want, it could exponentially increment my productivity with PHP, but, most important at all, reduce the common frustration you get when doing the same things over and over again.. ;D

    I'm discovering the easiest features of the framework, and trying to get a list of rows with their usual join: for example, if I have a table containing books (id, author_id) and another one called authors (id, name) I'd like to have Akelos to get rows automagically with their relational values. In particular I'm focusing on the getContentColumns() function.. I know I can use books.author.name but I'd like to have something more transparent and "maintainable", as this should be the framework aim, or not??

    I forgot to say that I already made up the models, i.e. the relations as $belongs_to and $has_many (they're already ok as I use them with the special form books.author.name)

    Thanks to everyone, and my vivid compliments to the framework author: this is the second summer I go to Barcelona.. splendid city, splendid people!!

    I'm not sure what you're looking for. Actually you can override getContentColumns in your Model and this is what you usually want. If you're looking for f.i. $book->author_name then you're one step beside the ActiveRecord pattern. That means a more complex column-mapping. You can do this (and I did) but thats handcrafted code.
