byqsri, yes, it really seems like we're still awaiting for the
documentation: http://waww.com.au/projects/cakephp-eav
I don't have a working setup using EAV plugin, but by reading through
the source code I got some sort of a picture of the gadget. Take a
look at the EavBehaviour [1]: On the line 4 you have $typeModels that
(like normal models) correspond to tables, whose structure (can be
seen around line 206 in afterSave function) should be: id,
attribute_id, model, foreign_key, value. The datatype of value column
depends on the model. You also need a table for EavAttributes, whose
structure is something along the lines of (see admin_add view [2]):
id, name, model, type, options. Then you can also see the available
admin functions for defining the EAV schema in the controller [3].
Hope this helps!

Just did this recently. I found the following resources valuable:
- Expandable
Behavior:http://debuggable.com/posts/unlimited-model-fields-expandable-behavio...
- EAV Plugin:http://github.com/morrislaptop/cakephp-eav/tree/master
- Dynamic Data Fields: Practical CakePHP
Projects:http://www.amazon.com/Practical-CakePHP-Projects/dp/143021578X
Ended up using Expandable Behavior as the simplest solution. The other
options would help storing the data using proper datatypes and
administering EAV schema. But in my case the amount of data or query
volume didn't really require these.
