this shouldn't be a problem. you just need to split the args in the
categories index () function. You then build you complexity in there,
perhaps limiting your depth to 4 /cat/subcat/subsubcat/id ?
have a look at the display method of the PagesController (in cakephp
core), as this is built to handle a 2 level structure, it shouldn't be
much hassle to extend it (a pseduo version below):
function index()
{
$arrCats = func_get_args();
// main cat
$category = $arrCats[0];
if (!empty($arrCats[1]))
{
$subCategory = $arrCats[1];
}
}
Also, if done correctly, I see no reason why you should need to use
custom SQL, find and findall should be more than adequate provided
your associations have been set correctly.
