Re: Reading data within a controller
Or you can access this data in controller's action by:
$this->viewVars['variable'];
This could Be helpful, id you want to acces data set in beforeFilter
action (for instance in app_controller beforeFilter action

Re: Reading data within a controller
Perfect - thanks. Here's how I've implemented it:
$variable = $this->Controller->read(null, $id);
$this->set('path', $this->Controller->AssociatedController->getpath
($variable['AssociatedController']['id'], 'id, name'));
$this->set(compact('variable'));
What this allows me to do is show the hierarchical path of a related
field up to the root of the tree in the view. For example, for a
business unit based in a location (which has the tree behaviour) I can
show the path from the location where this business unit is based and
it's parents all the way to the top of the tree.
Thanks.

Re: Reading data within a controller
Jeremy,
$variable will be how you access it in the view template (ctp) file.
If you still need it in the controller you should do:
$variable = $this->Controller->read(null, $id);
// Do some work with $variable.
$this->set(compact('variable'));

Reading data within a controller
Once I have executed this...
$this->set('variable', $this->Controller->read(null, $id));
...within the view function of a controller, how can I access the
contents of 'variable'? I want to extract one or more field values of
the current row. I have tried using $variable, but it is not
recognised.
