    <p>I have a HABTM relationship and I'd like to get nested data for a categories table from a product table something like this product array:</p> <pre><code>array( (int) 0 =&gt; array( 'id' =&gt; (int) 1, 'name' =&gt; 'a', 'categories' =&gt; array( (int) 0 =&gt; array( 'id' =&gt; (int) 1 ), (int) 1 =&gt; array( 'id' =&gt; (int) 2 ) ) ), (int) 1 =&gt; array( 'id' =&gt; (int) 2, 'name' =&gt; 'b', 'categories' =&gt; array( (int) 0 =&gt; array( 'id' =&gt; (int) 1 ) ) ) ) </code></pre> <p>Is this possible with cake?</p> <p>EDIT: I will try to explain further what I want to do.</p> <p>Please bear with me, I am new to cake and am having trouble getting to grips it.</p> <p>I have a 'product' table:</p> <pre><code> public $hasAndBelongsToMany = array( 'Category' =&gt; array( 'className' =&gt; 'Category', 'joinTable' =&gt; 'categories_sculptures', 'foreignKey' =&gt; 'sculpture_id', 'associationForeignKey' =&gt; 'category_id', 'unique' =&gt; 'keepExisting' ) ) </code></pre> <p>and a category table:</p> <pre><code> public $hasAndBelongsToMany = array( 'Sculpture' =&gt; array( 'className' =&gt; 'Sculpture', 'joinTable' =&gt; 'categories_sculptures', 'foreignKey' =&gt; 'category_id', 'associationForeignKey' =&gt; 'sculpture_id', 'unique' =&gt; 'keepExisting' ) ); </code></pre> <p>and a category products table:</p> <pre><code> public $belongsTo = array( 'Category' =&gt; array( 'className' =&gt; 'Category', 'foreignKey' =&gt; 'category_id', 'conditions' =&gt; '', 'fields' =&gt; '', 'order' =&gt; '' ), 'Sculpture' =&gt; array( 'className' =&gt; 'Sculpture', 'foreignKey' =&gt; 'sculpture_id', 'conditions' =&gt; '', 'fields' =&gt; '', 'order' =&gt; '' ) ); </code></pre> <p>I would like to build a view table of the sculptures and also show in each row which categories each sculpture is in (which could be more than one). As I am new to cake I don't know how I would go about this. If I was just querying mysql I could get this information with a group_concat or a nested select, or inefficiently by looping through first array and querying the category_sculpture table by sculpture key and adding the results to the first array. But I would like to know the best way to get this result the cake way.</p>

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.
