    <p>Why don't you create a method in the node model? </p> <p>Something like:</p> <pre><code> &lt;?php // first argument is a nested array filled with integers (corresponding to node_type_id) //second one id of a node //third one corresponds to the data you want(empty at beginning in most case) public function custom_find($conditions,$id,&amp;$array){ //there may several type of nodes wanted: for instances actors and director of a serie, so we loop foreach($conditions as $key_condition=&gt;$condition){ //test to know if we have reached the 'bottom' of the nested array: if yes it will be an integer '2', if no it will be an array like '2'=&gt;array(...) if(is_array($condition))){ //this is the case where there is deeper levels remaining //a find request: we ask for the node defined by its id, //and the child nodes constrained by their type: ex: all actors of "Breaking Bad" $this-&gt;id=$id; $result=$this-&gt;find('all',array( 'contain' =&gt; array( 'OtherNode' =&gt; array( 'conditions'=&gt;array('node_type_id'=&gt;$key_condition) ) ) ) ); //we add to $array the nodes found. Ex: we add all the actors of the serie, with type_id as key $array[$key_condition]=$result['OtherNode']; //Then on each node we just defined we call the function recursively. Note it's $condition not $conditions foreach($array[$key_condition] as &amp;$value){ $this-&gt;custom_find($condition,$value['Node']['id'],$value); } }else{ //if we simply add data $this-&gt;id=$id; $result=$this-&gt;find('all',array( 'contain' =&gt; array( 'OtherNode' =&gt; array( 'conditions'=&gt;array('node_type_id'=&gt;$value) ) ) ) ); $array[$condition]=$result['OtherNode']; } } } </code></pre> <p>That code is almost certainly wrong, it's just to give you an idea of what I mean.</p> <p>Edit:</p> <p><strong>What it does:</strong></p> <p>it's a recursive function that takes a nested array of conditions and the id of a node and gives back nested array of nodes.</p> <p>For instance: $conditions=array('2','4'=>array('5','6'=>array('4')))</p> <p><strong>How it works:</strong></p> <p>For a single node it gives back all the child nodes corresponding to the condition in the array: then it does the same for the children with the conditions one level deeper, until there is no more levels left. </p>

    1. COI don't believe that works - 1) how do I know that it's the OtherNode I'm looking for as opposed to the Node, and 2) Per my example question, I want to be able to contain another level down. I've been able to get it to work with one level of contain - but never further... which seems very restricting.

    2. CO1) fixed the code (which is probably still wrong) 2) the function is recursive so no problem

    3. COI tried reading over this 5 times now, but really don't follow your code - can you clarify with a bit more commenting? I really want this to work - just hard to imagine it will (mostly likely because it confuses me as to what you're trying to accomplish)

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.
