Perfect - thanks. Here's how I've implemented it:
$variable = $this->Controller->read(null, $id);
$this->set('path', $this->Controller->AssociatedController->getpath
($variable['AssociatedController']['id'], 'id, name'));
$this->set(compact('variable'));
What this allows me to do is show the hierarchical path of a related
field up to the root of the tree in the view. For example, for a
business unit based in a location (which has the tree behaviour) I can
show the path from the location where this business unit is based and
it's parents all the way to the top of the tree.
Thanks.
