I am using a view / layout of film.monetize
In the old version of JCook, before ORM I used to do this to call data from another table on the fly
$modelContracts = CkJModel::getInstance('contracts', 'MyComponentModel');
$modelContracts->setState('context', 'contracts.monetize');
switch ($this->item->type) {
    case "1":
        $modelContracts->addWhere('a.films = 1');
        break;
    case "2":
        $modelContracts->addWhere('a.shorts = 1');
        break;
    case "3":
        $modelContracts->addWhere('a.series = 1');
        break;
    default:
        break;
}

$modelContracts->addSelect('(select count(*) FROM #__mycomponent_xtitlecontracts WHERE contract=a.id AND title=' . $_GET['id'] . ') as count');
$modelContracts->addSelect('(select b.id FROM #__mycomponent_xtitlecontracts AS b WHERE b.contract=a.id AND b.title=' . $_GET['id'] . ' LIMIT 1) as linkID');
$modelContracts->addSelect('(select c.payment_status FROM #__mycomponent_xtitlecontracts AS c WHERE c.contract=a.id AND c.title=' . $_GET['id'] . ' LIMIT 1) as paymentStatus');
$modelContracts->addWhere('a.published = 1');
$modelContracts->addOrder('a.contract_name');

$contracts = $modelContracts->getItems();

I am now in the process of converting one of my largest components to ORM and I have ZERO clue how to get started on this.
I have written the model for contracts.monetize no problem bit now I need to call this data from another view

As I starting point to just pulling in the WHOLE model I did
$modelContracts->orm(array(
            'context' => 'contracts.monetize'
        ));

but I get

Call to a member function orm() on null

Any tips to getting started are appreciated as the documentation doesnt quite have the situtaiton, and the only help I found in the forum was using an instance getData which I cant find in the documentation

ORM calling another table within a view 24 Jul 2019 14:30 #15760

Before calling you still use
$modelContracts = CkJModel::getInstance('contracts', 'MyComponentModel');
I assume?

You can achieve your query with orm also like this (just typing this as I go so there might me errors)L
$filter = array(
    'published' => array(
        'value' => 1
    )
);
switch ($this->item->type) {
    case "1":
        $filter['films'] = array('value' => 1);
        break;
    case "2":
        $filter['shorts'] = array('value' => 1);
        break;
    case "3":
        $filter['series'] = array('value' => 1);
        break;
    default:
        break;
}

$contracts = MyComponentHelper::getData('contracts',
  array(
    'context' => 'contracts.monetize',
    'filter' => array(
        $filter
    ),
    'order' => array(
        'contract_name' => ASC
    )
));

This misses the subselect count(*), but I have created a solution somewhere. Have to look that up :D

Freakin' Awesome!!! J-Cook is simply awesome - whether you're a highly experienced developer or complete novice whether you're building a small inventory component or a complete community solution! The beauty comes from a fast slick and reliable platform that readily provides developers with everything they'll need to build the backbone of a solid and secure component with wizards for authoring access publishing aliasing created/modified by dates... you name it COOK provides it! J-Cook really surpasses all of the 'competition' as far as MVC tools are concerned! Try love it and get cooking!
