I know I didn't post all or even much code so you probably misunderstood
me. With my blog table I do have an `id` and a `user_id` column it's just
that instead of using auto_increment for the `id` column I set it the same
as the users `id` with
$this->request->data['Blog']['id'] = $this->Session->read('Auth.User.id');
when a new blog is created... I know it's probably wrong to do so, but it
is easier for me to keep track of things, and then when I'm verifying if
someone should be editing a blog or whatever I just have to compare the
Blog.id to their session id... I'm a newb so I don't understand how to do
it any other way especially when you start distancing yourself from the
root association (for example user owns a blog but the blog posts belong to
the blog) I guess in that instance I really should just add a user_id
column to the blog posts. I just wasn't that smart when I started this.
Anyways, besides that neither solution worked and really the query
selection should have worked... so I think I'm just going to add a user_id
field to the posts and verify ownership the same way I have been with
blogs, profiles, and everything else users own.
Sorry if I've wasted your time with newbie issues :-P
