I'm sorry ... I'll try to explain it a bit better. Let's say we have table NEWS with fields id, title, content, rel_author_id, rel_category_id.
So fetching all news would look something like this: <?php $news = new News(); $newsRowset = $news->fetchAll(); ?> Now every news has author, who's name I wanna output too. Solution would be to call method "findParentRow('Users')" inside of template's foreach (for every row - news) or to go thru all rows in controller code and get it there. What I was thinking is there something to tell what parents (plural is used cuz news has parent of rel_author_id and rel_category_id) should be fetched. For example (I know it's not existing) something like: <?php $news = News() $news->autoFetchParents = array('Users', 'Categories'); $newsRowset = $news->fetchAll(); ?> I guess there would be a problem when you'd have some relation inside user table and you would also need that data at outputing news. Maybe that would could be solved with MD array .:) array('Users' => array('Roles'), 'Categories'); and more complex: array('Users' => array('Roles' => array('subsubRole')), 'Categories'); Sorry ... late hour :) -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Zend_Db-%28Table-Row%29-tf4179879s16154.html#a11900923 Sent from the Zend Framework mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
