Hi all!

I've been trying for a while now to build a menu that looks like this:

Category 1
subcat1, subcat2, subcat3...

Category 2
subcat2.1, subcat2.2, subcat3.3...

and so on...

I can't seem to get around the nested array returned by the
controller ...
categories controller code:

class CategoriesController extends AppController {

        var $name = 'Categories';

        function index(){
                $this->set('categories', $this->Category->findAll());
        }
}

the category model looks like this:
class Category extends AppModel {

        var $name = 'Category';
        var $hasMany = array('Subcategory' =>
                         array('className'     => 'Subcategory',
                               'conditions'    => '',
                               'order'         => '`Subcategory`.`id`
ASC',
                               'dependent'     => true,
                               'foreignKey'    =>
'`cat_id`'
                              ),
                         'Article' =>
                         array('className'     => 'Article',
                               'conditions'    => '',
                               'order'         => '`Article`.`created`
DESC',
                               'limit'         => '3',
                               'dependent'     => true,
                               'foreignKey'    =>
'`cat_id`'
                              )
                  );
}

and the tables form the database look like this:

CREATE TABLE `categories` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `name` varchar(50) collate latin1_general_ci NOT NULL,
  `description` varchar(255) collate latin1_general_ci NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM  DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 COLLATE=latin1_general_ci
AUTO_INCREMENT=2 ;

CREATE TABLE `subcategories` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `cat_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `name` varchar(50) collate latin1_general_ci NOT NULL,
  `description` varchar(255) collate latin1_general_ci NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM  DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 COLLATE=latin1_general_ci
AUTO_INCREMENT=3 ;

Help me!

Thanks in advance for your ideas and guidance.
