Re: formhelper: deep model values

me again...

i found the following link (i'm not using the $uses controller
attribute) and i did some tests:
https://trac.cakephp.org/ticket/4626

so.
i built 3 models (TestGrandfather, TestFather and TestChild) and,
starting from the grandfather, tried to edit the 3-level dependecies:
in the edit method of the grandfather_controller:
$params = array(
'conditions' => array('TestGrandfather.id' => $id),
'contain' => array(
'TestFather' => array(
'TestChild'
)
)
);
$this->data = $this->TestGrandfather->find('first', $params);

in edit.ctp:
foreach ($form->data['TestFather'] as $key => $father):
echo $form->input('TestFather.'.$key.'.name');

foreach ($father['TestChild'] as $subkey => $child):
echo $form->input('TestFather.'.$key.'.TestChild.'.$subkey.'.name');
echo $form->input('TestFather['.$key.'][TestChild]['.$subkey.']
[name]');
endforeach;
endforeach;

but none of the two echos (those inside the secondo foreach) behaves
as expeted...
i'm stuck here...
