Re: Accessing Parent Record Data
No, that didn't work. I'm looking at the array thats returned, it appears to be empty. Array ( [Song] => Array ( [id] => 2394 [title] => Gimme Shelter ) [ParentSong] => Array ( [id] => ) [Artist] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [id] => 770 [name] => Rolling Stones [ArtistsSong] => Array ( [id] => 2424 [artist_id] => 770 [song_id] => 2394 ) ) ) ) Here's the query: SELECT `Song`.`id`, `Song`.`title`, `Song`.`subtitle`, `ParentSong`.`id` FROM `songs` AS `Song` LEFT JOIN `songs` AS `ParentSong` ON (`Song`.`parent_id` = `ParentSong`.`id`) WHERE 1 = 1 Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://cakeqs.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.

Re: Accessing Parent Record Data
Use containable in your song model:
var $actsAs = array('Containable');
var $belongsTo = array(
'ParentSong' => array(
'className' => 'Song',
'foreignKey' => 'parent_id',
));
When retrieving records contain ParentSong.
E.g.
$this->find('all', array('contain' => array('ParentSong')));

Accessing Parent Record Data
I am building a list of songs, and the songs can be original songs, or cover versions of other songs. If the song is a cover version, I want to be able to get to the original artist, along with the title of the song and the cover artist. Here are the tables/fields I'm working with: - songs id parent_id title - artists_songs id artist_id song_id - artists id name There is a hasAndBelongsToMany relationship between the artists and songs tables because a song can have many artists. Obviously artists can have many songs. When a cover version is added, the parent_id contains the id of the original song. This is how I would like to be able to display them: These are original songs: Rolling Stones - Gimme Shelter Kate Bush - Running Up That Hill These are cover versions: Sisters of Mercy - Gimme Shelter (Rolling Stones Cover) Placebo - Running Up That Hill (Kate Bush Cover) I have been struggling with how to make this work, any advice or tips to push me in the right direction would be much appreciated.
