Re: basic relation question
Don't just switch relations because one works and one does not, use the right relationship for the right type of join. Which tables have you now joined with HABTM? As soon as you start wanting data from tables that are more than one relation deep you really need to start using Containable, it is very powerful and makes like so much more useful. I rarely find myself forcing joins anymore now that I know exactly how to join my models and how to leveradge containable to get the data I want. I also rarely find myself using HABTM as I much prefer modelising my join table and specifying ModelA and ModelB hasMany JoinModel JoinModel belongsTo ModelA and ModelB This allows you to do much better finds and have more control over extra fields in the join table.

Re: basic relation question
Thanks for the info. I tried to bake it, but it errored, so instead of debugging that, I just focused on the models. Looks like I wasn't doing it right, so I just switched to a HABTM and created the middle tables. Working now and gives some room for change if specs change.

Re: basic relation question
If the relationship are all there in all models you may change to $this->track->recursive = 1; if not try to build your models with "./cake bake all" in order to see the suggested relationship.

basic relation question
I'm very new to CakePHP and MVC, so this is probably basic. Just need a push in the right direction. I've got Event to many Courses to one Instructor If I'm on a Event view, it sees the Courses, but doesn't join to the instructor. So, do I add the instructor somehow to the Event model or do I edit the controller to join the instructor in? I thought the model would look further down.
