Hello FuelPHP forum, I was able to succesfully setup the ORM model to use a many_to_many relationship table between "contents" and ""pages". Al I had to do was sticking to the defaults and it worked instantly. Great! My question is, since there are more than one 'contents' for each page, I really want to change the way the ORM structures it's result object. What is the best way to do this? Currently I have to echo my contents like this:

<address>
<?=  $page->contents[1]->html;  ?>
</address>

With this code, I am required to know which content is at index 1. I really want to echo my contents like this:

<address>
<?=  $page->contents['contact_info']->html;  // of course the array index here should come from the database column 'name', or something like that ?>
</address>

The only way I can think of is a looping the contents with a for each, destroying the ORM logic.

The number is the 'id' of the record. In a many relation, if you have multiple results, they are all of the same type. So I'm a bit clueless to why you want to access one individual result instead of loop to process them all. If I understand you correctly you have a generic contents table which doesn't contact records of the same type. Then it's logical that you query the contents to see what type it is.

Those rows I pulled from contents need to be echo'd on different sections/views on the page. That's why I really wanted them to be logical and human readable like you would do with an associative array. I do not want to alter the results any further, just make them more readable. I guess the only way to hack this is through core, or change the id field to something human readable. Which could work, but I'm not that desperate Thanks
