Okay - Not sure if the subject made any sense but here is basically
what I want to do:

I have a table called tools:
id, created, modified,title,doctype,document,catID

and I have a category table (tool_categories):
id, created, modified, title

Now in the view for the tools page I want to pull out a category and
then list under it every tool with a matching CatID.

Do I need 2 seperate models for this?

the kind of thing that I was looking at doing was something like:

class Tool extends AppModel
 {
        var $name               =       "Tool";
        var $uses               =       array('ToolCategories','Tools');

        var     $belongsTo              =       array(
                'ToolCategory'  =>      array(
                        'classname'     =>      'ToolCategory')
        );

        function index() {
                $this->data = $this->Tool->findAll() & $this->ToolCategory-
>findAll();
        }

}

"$this->data = $this->Tool->findAll() & $this->ToolCategory-
>findAll();" - im not sure whether that would work - but I am
basically trying to pull out the categories and the tool details and
append them onto the data array.

Any hints on the best way to do this?

Cheers

Dan
