Good post..I have same problem...It's working but in my case
entity_type_id is not saving in entities_tags tabel...
Currently I am using it only in
*Teacher Model*
<?php
class Teacher extends AppModel {
var $name = 'Teacher';
var $hasAndBelongsToMany = array(
'Tag' => array (
'className' => 'Tag',
'joinTable' => 'entities_tags',
'foreignKey' => 'entity_id',
'associationForeignKey' => 'tag_id',
'conditions' => 'entity_type_id = 1'
)
);
}
?>
here 'entity_type_id is always saving 0 but it must be save 1 in
database...
Please tell me where should I define 'entity_type_id = 1 other than
relation ship so that it can be save.
