    <p>If I'm getting this right, you've got the following relationships (hopefully in your models):</p> <pre><code>TableA hasMany TableB. TableA hasMany TableC. TableB belongsTo TableA. TableC belongsTo TableA. TableC belongsTo TableD. (might be hasOne) TableD hasMany TableC. (might be hasOne) </code></pre> <p>If you're using the Containable behaviour (I very much recommend it, and set it at app_model level for all models to inherit), I think you can do something like this...</p> <pre><code>$this-&gt;TableA-&gt;find( 'all', array( 'contain' =&gt; array( 'TableB', 'TableC' =&gt; array( 'TableD' ) ), 'conditions' =&gt; array(...), 'order' =&gt; array(...) ) ); </code></pre> <p>If you need to pick specific fields, then you'll need to specify them in the contain parameter, for example here I restrict TableB's returned fields:</p> <pre><code>$this-&gt;TableA-&gt;find( 'all', array( 'contain' =&gt; array( 'TableB' =&gt; array( 'fields' =&gt; array( 'field_1', 'field_2' ), ), 'TableC' =&gt; array( 'TableD' ) ), 'conditions' =&gt; array(...), 'order' =&gt; array(...) ) ); </code></pre> <p>The returned data should be like so:</p> <pre><code> [0] =&gt; array( [TableA] =&gt; array( [id] =&gt; 12, [name] =&gt; 'Foo' ), [TableB] =&gt; array( [id] =&gt; 23, [table_a_id] =&gt; 12, [name] =&gt; 'Bah' ), [TableC] =&gt; array( [id] =&gt; 45, [table_a_id] =&gt; 12, [table_d_id] =&gt; 67, [name] =&gt; 'Woo', [TableD] =&gt; array( [0] =&gt; array( [id] =&gt; 67, [table_a_id] =&gt; 12, [name] =&gt; 'Wah' ) ) ) ) </code></pre> <p>However, I've never done this where the nested table is the parent of the container (TableD and TableC), so it might not work, but it's probably worth a try.</p>

    1. COThis is not really what a left outer join does. I want to have null fields in [TableC] if the join (TableC x TableD) is empty. But adding nested joins to CakePHP was really easy, see my own answer.

    2. COGood point, glad you found a work around. It would be great if you could check whether your solution is applicable to the 1.3.x branch and submit it as an fix for your use case, I'm sure there are plenty of people that would benefit.

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.
