[Solar-talk] Changes afoot: a new Model class

[Paul M Jones]

Hi all,

Based on Rodrigo's tips, I've implemented paging of related to-many  
record fetching.  As he correctly noted, it needs to go through  
Record and Model, not RecordSet and Model (as I originally thought).

When you get a record with a to-many relationship, before you ask for  
(say) the "comments" on that record, you can tell it what page of  
comments to fetch.

     $node = $nodes->fetch($id);

     $node->setRelatedPage('comments', 1); // set page 1,
     $node->dump($node->comments);         // query and display 1st page

     $node->setRelatedPage('comments', 2); // set page 2, clear  
RecordSet
     $node->dump($node->comments);         // query and display 2nd page

Setting a new related page causes a new query to generate a new  
RecordSet for the related property.

Paging is based on the $_paging set in the foreign model (in this  
case, the "comments" model).

You can see the new code here:
