Hi Brian thanks for writing back. The ingredient_lists table is where the ingredient, amount and ingredient level instructions are stored. I suppose it's really a join table for recipes, ingredients and measurement_types. So from your reply I should actually rename this to ingredients_recipes.
And you are saying that the Ingredient model gets the HABTM instead of Recipe. Is that correct? -----Original Message----- From: cake-php@googlegroups.com [mailto:cake-...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of brian Sent: Monday, January 19, 2009 12:26 PM To: cake-php@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Relationships - HABTM On Mon, Jan 19, 2009 at 10:57 AM, rhythmicde...@gmail.com <rhythmicde...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I have been making some pretty good headway on defining the > relationships for my models.

But your ingredient model, at least, should HABTM Recipe. Ingredient var $hasAndBelongsToMany = array('Recipe'); And the join table should be ingredients_recipes. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
