the upcoming behaviors, just gives you the hook to the
acts_as_whatever.
I liked the tree behavior in rails but cake has only limited support
for it now.

you can now use the function findAllThreaded which returns a nested
array of a self joined table using parent_id´s.

but this function needs to always grab all records if you are having a
structure nested more than one level deep. So if you have f.ex.
categories nested 3-4 levels deep, you are definitly running into
problems and have to code the traversal/iteration to get f.ex. the
parent/parent  or all childs of the second level yourself.

I´m currently building a product catalog with a simple wishlist. the
products are joined to themselfes to realize product groups/variants of
a product and the categories are nested 3-4 levels deep.

to make it easier to get objects from inside a tree and check where
they are in a tree i´ll probably switch to a modified preorder tree.
there is a darn good tutorial in php on :
http://www.sitepoint.com/article/hierarchical-data-database/2

and you could also take a look at the ocean cms in the cakeforge which
has adaped this. I´m going to check this out and will see if this
suits my needs
