Hi everybody, After days of trial-and-error and almost giving up, I've managed to get some basic and – as I believe – very common scenarios solved in CakePHP. I was wondering, why the documentation is not clear on these aspects, so I described my findings in a somewhat lengthy blog post.
You might find this helpful: http://www.24100.net/2012/07/cakephp-hasandbelongstomany-relationship-queries-demystified/ . I'm addressing a couple of questions: - Scenario where a User and a Group model share a bidirectional hasAndBelongsToMany relationship. - Saving a user with *multiple groups*. - Querying for a user *who is a member of a specific group AND at the same time filtering on fields of the User model.* - Adding *additional groups* for an existing user *and keeping the join table up-to-date.* As I've read hundreds of questions somewhat related to this scenario on Stack Overflow, I assume there must be others out there, trying to wrap their heads around this. I hope it helps.
