I suggest you read this article: http://nuts-and-bolts-of-cakephp.com/2008/07/11/notes-on-cakephp-habtm-part-2-saving-data/
At the end you'll see a behavior where you can save one HABTM link at a time. Generally, you save all of the HABTM data because Cake wipes all of the current relationships and resaves them. That's the only way it knows not to get duplicates, or that you removed them. The HABTM behavior helps you save/delete single ones without needing to know the others, i.e., saving/removing one follower without knowledge of the other followers. Your follow button should go to something like /users/follow which in turn uses (probably POSTed so you don't have spamming) data and the HABTM behavior to save that new follower. -- Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials http://tv.cakephp.org Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://ask.cakephp.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
