    <p>I don't see any problem in using that with CakePHP. I understand when @Anh Pham says that it could be "quite a hassle", but honestly almost anything database-related can become a hassle in Cake if your site is a little more complex than the blog tutorial.</p> <p>Cake is my PHP framework of choice, but I believe you have to use it for a while and try to understand how the "magic" works. When you do, it's much easier to decide when you should let Cake handle some database operation by itself, and how to trick it into doing what you want in an elegant way. </p> <p>That "pick list" structure can be made to play nice with Cake's model associations, it's just a matter of adding the right <code>conditions</code> and <code>foreignKey</code> when declaring the association. </p> <p><strong>UPDATE</strong></p> <p>I can see from the latest edits that you are on the right track. I believe you now understand why your <code>$this-&gt;BirthplaceCounty-&gt;find('list')</code> call was returning the whole table: the model doesn't know that you want to filter by <code>value_list_id = 5</code> (5 or 8?), that condition only applies to its association with the other model.</p> <p>Anyway, you do have another options beside overloading <code>find()</code>: you can define the default condition inside the model's <code>beforeFind</code> callback, like this:</p> <pre><code>function beforeFind($queryData) { $defaultConditions = array("BirthplaceCounty.value_list_id = 5"); if(!empty($queryData['conditions'])) { // Make sure 'conditions' is an array, so we can array_merge $queryData['conditions'] = is_array($queryData['conditions']) : $queryData['conditions'] : array($queryData['conditions']); // Merge conditions passed to find with the default $queryData['conditions'] = array_merge($defaultConditions, $queryData['conditions']); } else { $queryData['conditions'] = $defaultConditions; } // Return the modified $queryData to be used by find return $queryData; } </code></pre>

    1. COThanks for your response - Can you be more specific as to what 'conditions' and 'foreignKey' you would use? Do you need to create a separate Model for each of the lists?

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.
