Ok, I have a scripts table, a categories table and a users table. The scripts table $belongsTo = array('Category', 'User');
The categories table $hasMany = array('Script'); I have not made a modal or page for the users yet. I have a index page for the categories. This page shows all of the categories as a linked list. Here is the controller code: function index() { $this->set('categories', $this->Category->find('all')); } And in the view I have it display (loop through) all the categories and it works perfectally. The problem: it is pulling more data from the database than is needed. This is what it is pulling (it is pulling the scripts also as you can see): Array ( [0] => Array ( [Category] => Array ( [id] => 1 [name] => cat1 [created] => ) [Script] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [id] => 1 [title] => DB connect [description] => This class that will connect to the database test [content] => content here [category_id] => 1 [user_id] => 1 [created] => 2001-06-18 16:05:40 [modified] => 2008-06-18 19:58:29 ) ) ) [1] => Array ( [Category] => Array ( [id] => 2 [name] => Second Category [created] => ) [Script] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [id] => 2 [title] => shoutbox [description] => this is an easy to install shoutbox [content] => content goes here [category_id] => 2 [user_id] => 2 [created] => 2008-06-05 22:29:09 [modified] => 2008-06-19 15:54:19 ) ) ) ) When all I really need is this: Array ( [0] => Array ( [Category] => Array ( [id] => 1 [name] => cat1 [created] => ) ) [1] => Array ( [Category] => Array ( [id] => 2 [name] => Second Category [created] => ) ) ) I do not need nor want it to pull the scripts! It is doing both these quarries: SELECT `Category`.`id`, `Category`.`name`, `Category`.`created` FROM `categories` AS `Category` WHERE 1 = 1 SELECT `Script`.`id`, `Script`.`title`, `Script`.`description`, `Script`.`content`, `Script`.`category_id`, `Script`.`user_id`, `Script`.`created`, `Script`.`modified` FROM `scripts` AS `Script` WHERE `Script`.`category_id` IN (1, 2, 3) But I really only need the first listed quarry. It seems to me that the $recursive argument of find() should do it but it is not working for me. I tried setting $recursive = -1 I feel like there is some simple option that needs to be set somewhere and that's it. Any ideas?
