Conditions in associated models using Model->find() (CakePHP)

Question

I am having some issues with CakePHP\'s find() method and conditions in \'deeper\' model associations. There are some of these around but I could not find an answer to this

Answer 1

$joins = array(
           array('table'=>'comments', 
                 'alias' => 'Comment',
                 'type'=>'inner',
                 'conditions'=> array(
                 'Comment.id = Vote.comment_id'
           )),
           array('table'=>'posts', 
                 'alias' => 'Post',
                 'type'=>'inner',
                 'conditions'=> array(
                 'Post.id = Comment.post_id'
           )),
           array('table'=>'users', 
                 'alias' => 'User',
                 'type'=>'inner',
                 'conditions'=> array(
                 'User.id = Post.user_id','User.id'=>$user_id
           ))
         );

$votes = $this->Vote->find('all',array('joins'=>$joins,'recursive'=>-1));
