DataMapper ORM v1.8.2

A quick look in the code reveals that you can either pass an object (in which $this->model is used to find the relation), or a string (which should be the relation name).

In the first case you have the requirement that the relation must have the same name as the class, in the second you can't set a filter on a specific object.

Perhaps you can work around it using

Code:

$user = new User(1);
$item = new Item();
$item->where_join_field('orders', 'status', 'active')->where('user_id', $user->id)->get(); // you might have to prefix "user_id"
