Your states view file is supposed to receive not only the State record but
also the associated Country record, so that both the State and the Country
can be displayed in the states view.
The data has to come from the view function in the states controller. In
that function, the states controller is asking the State model to retrieve
the State record together with the associated Country record using a
defined function in the State model, for example named stateById($id).
In the State model, the example function stateById($id) will retrieve the
State and the associated Country by setting the recursive setting to 1 in
the find function of the model. Example code:
[code]
$data = $this->find('first', array(
'recursive' => 1,
'conditions' => array(
'State.id' => $id
),
));
return $data;
[/code]
Please correct me if I am wrong :)
I would recommend you to take a look at the Containable behaviour to help
you make it easier to retrieve associated data.
