This is what I came up with, I dont know if theres another solution.
Also im completely lost how to paginate this.
function getMyFriends($user_id, $status = 'approved', $limit = 5) {
$friends = $this->find('all', array(
'fields' => array('Friend.*')
I got something working on this but I ran into a problem. When joining
the user table to the friend data, I dont know if its the friend_id or
the user_id. So I will have to do some filtering and extra queries
after i grab all friends.

You recei
Assuming that translates to:
SELECT
Friend.*,
User.username,
User.avatar,
User.handler
FROM
friends AS Friend,
INNER JOIN users AS User
ON User.id = Friend.user_id
WHERE
Friend.status = 'approved' AND
(
(Friend.user_id = ':us
Snippets of the code:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `friends` (
`user_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
`friend_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
`status` enum('approved','pending') NOT NULL default 'pending',
`requestTime` int(10) NOT NULL,
KEY `user_id` (`user_id`),
KEY `friend_id` (`friend_
What do your tables, models and controllers look like?
