I currently have it so the association just pulls in the post_id for
each comment then I just count() that array in the view for the
comment count:
$this->Post->bindModel(array('hasMany' => array('Comment' =>
array('fields' => array('post_id')))));
$this->set('data', $this->Post->find('all', array('order' =>
'created DESC')));
Is there a better way to do this?
