So, essentially you're trying to find "breadcrumbs" to your selection?
Maybe a function could be added to the tree helper. Like..
/// Usage in view:
$tree->showCrumbs(99, 'Section/name', $data);
/// New function in tree helper class:
function showCrumbs($id, $name, $data)
{
/// .. something clever with a recursive use of php array_keys()
function
/// .. would have to track back to the parent returning the names
and ids
/// .. of the sections. Thoughts anyone?
}

Yes, there is a single table that references itself with a "parent_id"
field. This is pratically identical to how it laid out in this
