Have you tried:
/app/models/category.php
<?php
class Category extends AppModel
{
var $name = 'Category';
var $hasMany = array('Story' =>
array('className' => 'Story',
'limit' => '3')
);
}
?>
/app/models/story.php
<?php
class Story extends AppModel
{
var $name = 'Story';
var $displayField = 'story';
var $belongsTo = array('Category' =>
array('className' => 'Category');
}
?>
You might want to add more logic to you join in the Category model to be
more specific about which 3 stories you want to fetch, maybe add 'order'
and 'conditions' clauses
