I'm making a follower system ala Twitter.
Here is my UsersController :
class UsersController extends AppController {
public $name = 'Users';
public $helpers = array('Html', 'Form', 'Paginator');
var $hasAndBelongsToMany = array(
'Followed' => array(
'className' => 'User',
'joinTable' => 'followed',
'foreignKey' => 'user_id',
'associationForeignKey' => 'followed_id',
),
'Follower' => array(
'className' => 'User',
'joinTable' => 'followers',
'foreignKey' => 'user_id',
'associationForeignKey' => 'follower_id',
)
);
My tables are :
followers , containing user_id and follower_id
followeds , containing user_id and followeds_id
And finally I use this in my UsersController :
public function view($id = null) {
$this->loadModel('Follower');
$followers = $this->set('followers', $this->Follower->find('all',
array('conditions' => array('Follower.user_id' => $id))));
$this->loadModel('Followed');
$followeds = $this->set('followeds', $this->Followed->find('all',
array('conditions' => array('Followed.user_id' => $id))));
I use foreach to display it in the view.
So when I set up numbers in the tables, everything works correctly,
but I don't know how to make a follow button on user view.
I'm discovering phh AND cake, and I have no idea how to do this.
Thanks a lot for your time.
