Okay, so I just couldn't leave this alone :)
I implemented the following, which works and even brings in the
'contain' info. However there is still a small problem...
// books_controller.php view()
$similar = $this-Book-similar_books($genre_id, $limit);
// model book.php
$similarBooks =

I was also pleasantly surprised that I could pass the $id array to

Thanks for your help Joe, your comments really helped to point on the
right path.

Hi Joe
Indeed you can't distribute any copies of the book's contents
(regarding other comments in this thread) which prevents (~immediately
outdated) copies of the book springing up and being found by the

In my books view.ctp, I want to have a list of 5 books that are
related via the genres data, which has a HABTM relationship. Although
I can do this by placing a function similar() in the

The reason I made mine in EPUB was because that works nicely on my
Sony Reader. It isn't meant as a reference manual, but something I
just browse through while on the train to work -- yeah I know, while
most people are reading Terry Pratchett or something of the like,
Hi psykro,
I'm not sure if something like what I created would be of interest to
anyone but
Back in January I created a version for myself so I could read it on
my SonyReader. It is in the EPUB format so you will need a reader than
can view these files such as Adobe Digital Editions. This

The latest CakePHP release (1.2.2.8120) fixes the problems I was
having, now $paginator-link() can used to get the desired results. On
my initial check, everything seems to be working perfect.
Many thanks to the developers!

Okay, definitely some food for thought here.
