Re: Can a model belong to and habtm one model?
yes you can, just assign different aliases like 'Owner' and 'OwnerFriends' eagerterrier wrote: > I have a facebook type app that I need to build for a client (don't we > all?) and in it I have a model that ideally needs to be owned by one > user, and also habtm other users (the owners friends) > > Before I go too far, I want to know if this approach is possible, or > should I just stick another field in the habtm join table that is > something along the lines of is_owner (boolean) > > Is this crossing the streams in Ghostbusters, or is it something very > run of the mill that I just haven't done yet (8 cake sites under my > belt and counting...) --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.

Can a model belong to and habtm one model?
I have a facebook type app that I need to build for a client (don't we all?) and in it I have a model that ideally needs to be owned by one user, and also habtm other users (the owners friends) Before I go too far, I want to know if this approach is possible, or should I just stick another field in the habtm join table that is something along the lines of is_owner (boolean) Is this crossing the streams in Ghostbusters, or is it something very run of the mill that I just haven't done yet (8 cake sites under my belt and counting...) --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
