When running a find('count') the contain param is useless. This is
because the main query is fetching a sum, not a set of records from
which to fetch the associated 'contain' records.Are you using AuthComponent? You can use that to fetch the User and associated records. However, I can't remember how deep it goes. To see what records it has, put this in your UsersController login method: die(debug($this->Auth->user())); http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/core-libraries/components/authentication.html#accessing-the-logged-in-user On Tue, Jan 1, 2013 at 5:23 PM, Stefano Campanella <leona...@guildofmessengers.com> wrote: > Hello all, > this is my first time posting here.
