CakePHP Threaded “Find” with Associated Models
Question
I am using a $this->find('threaded') in my CakePHP application and am trying to pull in an associated model within the find (HABTM). I have tried several methods, such as 'joins', 'recursive' and 'contains' all with no luck. I am using CakePHP 2.3.6
Here is my (working) code.
class EventsController extends AppController {
public function promoters($id = null) {
$options = array('conditions' => array('Event.id' => $id));
$event = $this->Event->find('first', $options);
$this->set('event', $event);
$this->loadModel('EventsPromoter');
$treelistConditions = array(
'conditions' => array(
'event_id' => $id
),
);
$promoterTree = $this->EventsPromoter->find('threaded', $treelistConditions);
$this->set('promoters', $promoterTree);
}
}
This results in the following array output
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[EventsPromoter] => Array
(
[id] => 1
[promoter_id] => 1
[event_id] => 1

[modified] => 2013-07-26 00:30:09
)
[children] => Array

)
)
What I would like my code to output is the following

Nothing I have been trying is working, and this seems like something Cake should be able to handle fairly easily. Thanks in advance for any help!

I was taking a slightly wrong approach for what I was trying to accomplish. While I still think this should be possible from my EventsController class, I elected to make it in the EventsPromotersController HABTM class. The code is much simpler using this method
class EventsPromotersController extends AppController {
public function event($event_id = null) {
$options = array('conditions' => array('event_id' => $event_id));
$promoters = $this->EventsPromoter->find('threaded', $options);
$this->set('promoters', $promoters);
}
}
