Hi Jeremy, I think you can do that in your model with afterFind callback. For example:
class MyModel extends AppModel{ var $actsAs = array('Tree'); function afterFind($results, $primary){ // for multiple result if(is_array($results)){ if(is_array($results[0])){ foreach($results as $key => $val){ $results[$key][$this->alias]['childCount'] = $this->childCount ($results[$key][$this->alias][$this->primaryKey]); } } else { // for single result $results[$this->alias]['childCount'] = $this->childCount($results [$key][$this->alias][$this->primaryKey]); } } } } Note: I am not test this code myself.
