Re: Association problem

Thanks for the help.

I kept playing around with it and I realized I made the associations
more complicated than I needed to.
I removed the "join tables" (menu_item_types, menu_item_subtypes) and
added the association: menu_item belongsTo(menu_type, menu_subtype).

Doing a find('all') on MenuItem gets me all the info I need.
