copied!<p>It's possible to use CakePHP's bindModel & unbindModel to build up relations that don't rely on Cake's automagic goodness.</p> <p>Since you were interested in doing the find on the <strong>Product</strong> model, I'll set out an example that can be called from the <strong>Products</strong> controller:</p> <pre><code>// unbind Artist $this->Product->unbindModel(array( 'belongsTo' => array('Artist') )); // bind Artist & Person using explicit conditions $this->Product->bindModel(array( 'hasOne' => array( 'Artist' => array( 'foreignKey' => false, 'conditions' => array('Artist.id = Product.artist_id') ), 'Person' => array( 'foreignKey' => false, 'conditions' => array('Person.id = Artist.person_id') ), ) )); // return the person $person = $this->Product->find('first', array( 'conditions' => array( 'Product.id' => 1 // or any other condition ), 'fields' => array( 'Person.first_name', 'Person.last_name' ) )); </code></pre> <p>What's happening here?</p> <p>Firstly, we unbind the <strong>Product</strong> model's relationship with the <strong>Artist</strong> model.</p> <p>Secondly, we bind the <strong>Artist</strong> and <strong>Person</strong> models by explicitly defining the relationships and disabling Cake's automatic forigenKey connections.</p> <p>Lastly, we do a 'first' find on the <strong>Product</strong> model and only request the '<strong>first_name</strong>' & '<strong>last_name</strong>' of the <strong>Person</strong>.</p>
