Here is the model for Category: var $hasAndBelongsToMany = array( 'Product' => array( 'className' => 'Product', 'joinTable' => 'categories_products', 'foreignKey' => 'category_id', 'associationForeignKey' => 'product_id' ) ); var $belongsTo = array( 'Parent' => array( 'className' => 'Category', 'foreignKey' => 'parent_id' ) );
Here is the model for Product: var $hasMany = array( 'Variation' => array( 'className' => 'Variation', 'foreignKey' => 'product_id', 'dependent' => false, ) ); I think it's pretty straightforward. There are 32 categories, 86 products and 115 variations. Looks like it's doing a database call for each variation. -- Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials http://tv.cakephp.org Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://ask.cakephp.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
