Hey all -- new here, new to CakePHP, but loving it so far. I need some design suggestions.
I'm writing an application that involves inviting people to a page. The invites will go out to registered users of the application ("Friends" of the Invitation Owner) and to non-registered users via email address submission. How can I organize invitees associated with any given invitation in my MySQL database since some will be registered ("Users" model), and some un-registered (list of email addresses)...? Should I use separate tables or models for registered invitees and un-registered invitees? Right now, I've got a working Users model and have a self-referenced HABTM association for "Friend" lists, that uses a little join table to link Users with their Friends' user_id's. In other words, I'm having trouble designing how my Invite model and database should look like so that registered Users and un-registered Users (that the app will only have email addresses for) are linked together for any given Invite. Thanks! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
