@Smelly: I have resorted to this solution, which works but seems like a bit of a botch job. I'm really disappointed that you can't get Cake to join 3 tables that are associated by belongsTo associations, it's not as if this is a complex SQL query.
@Webweave: Nice spot on the typo, but that doesn;t allow you to force a join on a 2nd level association. Recursive does not resolve the issue as setting recursive to 2 seems to invoke containable behaviour (although not sure how it does this when I have not applied containable to my moodels) so that instead of Cake running one query joining the 3 models in question, it runs a query on Staff and Person (which fails as I have a condition on the Organisation model) then pulls the Organisation data out with multiple extra queries. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
