Hi Sam,
I don't have time to make test at this moment, and sincerely i think
recursion is the best method to make this work.
I can tell you of a solution i found time ago with cake 1.0 in one of my
application.
The base of the logic is in the query i wrote (the query is simplified i
write here only the significant fields):
Don't know if it is correct but i think that shows the sense of this
approach.
SELECT node.lft, node.rgt, node.id, node.parent_id,
(COUNT(parent.parent_id) - 1) AS depth,
node.description, node.link FROM menu AS node, menu AS parent
WHERE node.lft BETWEEN parent.lft AND parent.rgt;
this query return a flat list with a depth field that is the hierarchical
level of indentantion of the item (node).
Then at every change of depth up or down you can write the corresponding
<ul> or </ul>
This is a logic i used many years ago, whit cake 1.0 at this time with the
new features of cakephp i would never use this method.
HTH
