Sorry to be a stick in the mud, but have changed the name (seems obvious now!!) of the second association to DefaultAddress and that works so it will be staying as is for now. No doubt it will all change before too long and will try the other way. Thanks to all for your help, Duncan --~--~--

Well that kind of worked! I have put: var $hasMany = array( 'Address' => array('className' => 'Address', 'foreignKey' => 'customer_id' ), );

I would put a bool flag in addresses table. Something like `defaultAddress` as bool, where set to true when default and false on the other case. Then you could put WHERE statement into your find function. On Nov 29, 11:50 am, "J.B." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > zonium: yes, you're absolutely righ

zonium: yes, you're absolutely right. and I haven't tested it... Remember to put two associations in the address model as well, address hasOne (or hasMany, depending on what you want) customer (default_address_id) and address belongsTo customer... On 29 Nov, 10:27, zonium <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrot

I think your setup is not impractical, in fact it's a very common type of relationships, for example: User hasMany Address, and there is one Address that is used as default Theme hasMany Layout, and there is one Layout that is set as current etc. Using array as Christopher suggested is a solution

This can be done by adding another association, hasOne, on the model. The customers model will then have one hasOne and one hasMany association to the same model (addresses), just remember to name the associations different names and to use default_address_id as the foreign_key for the hasOne asso

Well, if you already have the default_address_id field in the table, you can just do some array magic to pull out the one with that Id or, you can make another call once you have the user array (for a single user). Your best bet is to use the array magic goodness with sprinkles and pluck out what

I have a customers table and an addresses table, customers hasMany addresses, that bit's easy. But I want each customer to have a default address in the addresses table. I have a field 'default_address_id' in the customer table. I just can't get my head around how to use associations to link them
