Hey everyone, I have a page in my application where I show information about 1 category and all of it's products (category hasMany product, product belongsTo category). I have been using a call to $this->Category->find() supplying it with conditions and containments to get something like that following:
> Array > ( > [0] => Array > ( > [Category] => Array > ( > [id] => 1 > [name] => Shoes > ) > [Product] => Array > ( > [0] => Array > ( > [id] => 1 > [name] => New Balance M1 > ) > [1] => Array > ( > ... > ) > ) > ) > ) And now I need to paginate the products. I tried calling $this->paginate(), passing in 'Product' with conditions and such but then I either need to make yet another find() call to get the category information or to have the category information duplicated across the entire array like that: > Array > ( > [0] => Array > ( > [Product] => Array > ( > [id] => 1 > [name] => New Balance M1 > ) > [Category] => Array > ( > [id] => 1 > [name] => Shoes > ) > ) > [1] => Array > ( > [Product] => Array > ( > [id] => 2 > [name] => UG Ascot Slipper > ) > [Category] => Array > ( > [id] => 1 > [name] => Shoes > ) > ) > [2] => Array > ( > ... > ) > ) As you can see, I don't want the same category information to be duplicated across the entire array, and I want to avoid having to use two queries (one paginate() for my products and one find() for my category). Is there a way to paginate my products and get the information of that 1 category associated with them, similar to the format of the first array in just 1 neat call?
