    <p>I have a CakePHP plugin named <code>Foo</code> that has a component, no controller, and several joined models. It's structured like this:</p> <pre><code>/Plugin/Foo/Model/ -FooModel1.php -FooModel2.php -FooModel3.php -FooModel4.php </code></pre> <p>In order to connect with the standard (non-plugin) code, one of the plugin models is conditionally associated with a standard model called <code>Bar</code>. I don't believe this is relevant to the problem, but I want to be thorough.</p> <p>In <code>FooController</code> I make use of <code>Containable</code>, several layers deep:</p> <pre><code>$params = array( 'conditions' =&gt; array('Bar.id' =&gt; $bar_id), 'contain' =&gt; array( 'FooModel1' =&gt; array( 'FooModel2' =&gt; array( 'FooModel3' =&gt; array('Something', 'FooModel4') ), ), ), ); </code></pre> <p>This creates an error like:</p> <pre><code>Warning: Model "FooModel2" is not associated with model "FooModel3" [CORE\Cake\Model\Behavior\ContainableBehavior.php, line 339] </code></pre> <p>So in my plugin controller I need to contain plugin models. I've tried prefixing the models with Foo (e.g. <code>Foo.FooModel1</code>) but <code>Containable</code> thinks I'm trying to get a model named Foo. In the <code>$hasAndBelongsToMany</code> array in the plugin models I've tried both <code>'Model1' =&gt; array()</code> and <code>'Foo.Model1' =&gt; array()</code>, neither of which work. How do I correctly set up this association?</p> <p>Side note: when I move the models out of the plugin and into the standard <code>/Model/</code> directory everything works fine. The problem seems to come from incorrect associations rather than the logic of the code itself.</p> <p>Thanks a lot for the help.</p>

    2. COSee dave's comment, Please be clearer on what you try to achive. You could give us the model definitions or table layout. You can see here that http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/core-libraries/behaviors/containable.html#containing-deeper-associations using Foo.FooModel1 doesn't help. Besides that, your Model naming is not following conventions http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/getting-started/cakephp-conventions.html#model-and-database-conventions. This can get you in trouble if you try to use build-in functionality

    3. COWhat is the relationship between your FooModels? Your contain array seems to suggest a hasMany/belongsTo relationship between your fooModels but your question mentions HABTM relationships.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
