Hi,
You need to get posts alongwith their tags for a single author, right?
Attach 'containable' behavior to AppModel (or the Author model, as per your
need) and in controller's action, put the code something like
$this->Author->contain(array(
'Post' => array(
'Tag'
)
));
$this->set('author', $this->Author->findById($id));
Now, in the view, if you loop through author's posts using
foreach ($author['Post'] as $post)
then $post['Tag'] will contain the list of tags assigned to that particular
post.
Hope that helps.
