That had some effect, but made something else break. I added... $params['fields'][] = 'Project.contact_id';
to force the contained relationship foreign key to be included, and it completed the query, but then the virtualField defined in the Project::__construct() method stopped working and I would get an "index does not exist error" for the displayField. (even after making sure that it remained in the fields list) $this->displayField = 'displayName'; What I mostly don't get why it works from other plugins by not this particular plugin when they both make calls to the Project model. -- Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials http://tv.cakephp.org Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://ask.cakephp.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
