You could increase your recursive level, i.e.
$this->User->recursive=2;
but I would not recommend to do so, as you will get all other
associated models as well and this increases load on the DB.
Alternatively you could write a method in your Location model that
returns your Location.name for a given id, e.g.
function getLocationName($id) {
return ($this->field('name', array('id' =>$id)));
}
and loop through your initial results array. Maybe this isn't the
optimal solution either, if you have to do a lot of loops.
It could be more efficient to just keep on using the id's in the
controller and get the names just in the views (using a helper) - but
this depends on your db and application structure.
