Ok, I was able to get around the error messages with this:
// CategoryController
..
function view($id){
..
loadModel('Product');
$p = new Product();
$this->Product = $p->getProductsByCategory($id, $start, $limit,
$sort);
pr($this);
$this->set('category', $this->Category->read());
}
Would show that the Category['Product'] object was populated with an
array of products. For example
['Category']['Product'][0]['Product'][0]['product_name'] = 'Acme
XYZ123'
['Category']['Product'][1]['Product'][0]['product_name'] = 'Acme
MZ456'
However the view.thtml output did not show any recognition of a
Product object and I could not find a way to access it. Do I need to
do a Save() call or something?
I didn't even get into trying to build the ProductImage model which
brings up an important question...
With 1 query, can I build 2 or more Models??
For instance, if I call a function in the Product model that joins the
product_image table, can I use the output to build both the Product
and ProductImage models?
