Over my head...this is my first attempt using Cake and with ACL and AUTH and
everything else its just overwhelming... So I am not even sure what your
trying to explain to me. Forgive my rookie aspect. Still trying to figure
out the contain message you sent to me.
When you want to list your Bookmark, use contain to grab the Post info, as
well.
'contain' => array(
'Post' => array(
'fields' => array(
'title', 'description'
)
)
)
I am not using the list. Its all showing up in the "related" info that
shows up on the index page of the user/view so the user can see his
bookmarks on his page.
Thanks,
Dave

Actually, I was going somewhere else with this but ... couldn't you just
assign the ARO to Teacher instead of User? AFAIK, there's no reason an ARO
can't be assigned to something other than a User.
