You would need to define a relationship in your news model to the user's model via the id set by the behaviour. This will tell cake how to pull the related models from a find call on the news model (http:// book.cakephp.org/view/66/models#associations-linking-models-to-78).
You'll also want to look in the manual for more information on the new containable behaviour built into the release candidates of CakePHP 1.2 for how to narrow down what fields/models you want returned (http:// book.cakephp.org/view/474/containable) Good luck, - James On Jul 9, 12:26 am, double07 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi All, > > This seems like a real n00b question, but here goes.
