I figured it out:
$this->Genre->bindModel(array('hasAndBelongsToMany' => array('Movies'
=> array('className' => 'Movie', 'joinTable' => 'movies_genres',
'limit'=> '20, 20'))));
$genre = $this->Genre->find("name = 'comedy'");
But this doesn't really make me happy.
Now each and every time I want a subset of movies in a certain genre I
have to rewrite by association all over again.
Not to mention I also use 2 HABTM on the Person model ('actors' and
'directors'), a HABTM on Country, one on Language and probably a
couple more to come.
I'm from a ROR background, and I can't really call this very DRY
(don't repeat yourself).
What if I halfway through change the name of my join_table or even a
model. I have to make the changes in lots of different places. I'm not
waiting for that to happen.
So is there really no other way to make it much more simpler?
