my apologies, I saw where you said you wanted to make the tutorial simpler and i assumed that you already knew how to make calls etc.
The tutorial is using a search behavior (which probably does the calls - i haven't looked to verify) but to answer your question from above, I would recommend doing the tutorial OUTSIDE of your current project just to familiarize yourself with what it is asking you to do. Once you get that up and running you would have a much better understanding of what direction you would rather go in as a developer. so...yes...follow all steps in the tut. Now, if you are going away from the tutorial, you can just the data that comes back in the $this->data collection from your search box in the view and use that model call I used above. If you dont understand this last bit, it is best you try the tutorial out first with a fresh install etc...so as not to disrupt your project or in the very least back it up. -- Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials http://tv.cakephp.org Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://ask.cakephp.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
