This depends on how you want to build your sub categories tree:
Is it a relationship like this: category id parent_id or category id sub_category id category_id parent_sub_category your product could be product id ... Then a join table categories_products id product_id category_id or you could have product id category_id product_sub_categories id product_id sub_category_id it really depends on what your data model requirements are. The join table will be extremely useful in establishing the HABTM relationships you require. Cake bake will not automatically detect recursive parent_id as a category. so you will have to define that manually. -----Original Message----- From: cake-php@googlegroups.com [mailto:cake-...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Beedge Sent: 2009-06-04 10:46 To: CakePHP Subject: A little help needed on determining my model relation ships please Hi all, about to start on my first cake project. A straight forward e- commerce site. I am not used to having to visualise my database relationships so I was hoping for a little help. A product belongs in a category A product can be in many categories A Category has Sub categories Is this just a HABTM relationship between products and categories? I will be using tree behavior for my categories. Any comments on this or helpers? I would love to find a tutorial that covered this, but all I can really find is blog tutorials!
