Re: Using two models in one controller, paginating data from both

It was a lot easier than I thought!
Cakephp does all that for me.

In my membersController I wrote

$this->set('categories $this->Member->Category->find('list'));

and in the add view, i just wrote:

echo $form->input('category_id');

Works like a charm =)
