HABTM selection seemingly ignores joinTable
- by TheCapn
I'm attempting to do a HABTM relationship between a Users table and Groups table. The problem is, that I when I issue this call:
$this->User->Group->find('list');
The query that is issued is:
SELECT [Group].[id] AS [Group__id], [Group].[name] AS [Group__name] FROM [groups] AS [Group] WHERE 1 = 1
I can only assume at this point that I have defined my relationship wrong as I would expect behavior to use the groups_users table that is defined on the database as per convention. My relationships:
class User extends AppModel {
var $name = 'User';
//...snip...
var $hasAndBelongsToMany = array(
'Group' => array(
'className' => 'Group',
'foreignKey' => 'user_id',
'associationForeignKey' => 'group_id',
'joinTable' => 'groups_users',
'unique' => true,
)
);
//...snip...
}
class Group extends AppModel {
var $name = 'Group';
var $hasAndBelongsToMany = array ( 'User' => array(
'className' => 'User',
'foreignKey' => 'group_id',
'associationForeignKey' => 'user_id',
'joinTable' => 'groups_users',
'unique' => true,
));
}
Is my understanding of HABTM wrong? How would I implement this Many to Many relationship where I can use CakePHP to query the groups_users table such that a list of groups the currently authenticated user is associated with is returned?
