So what I've figured out (i'm sure this is really obvious but I'm new) is that i can reach into the associated models from the active model and "unhook" what I don't need using unbind. Previously I was under the impression I could only unhook direct assocaitions in the top level model i was currently interacting with.
This allows me to alter any associations in any method, and tailor my result from a findAll call to only the details i need. It still seems like this is a bit of a hack. I don't follow exactly how this approach (if i'm using the same approach as johnpfisk) creates dependencies on the first model? I'm curious if you could explain that more. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
