I know I'm not the first to notice this, but I can't find a solution -- My HABTM works fine if there's at least one relationship. In these cases, Cake deletes everything from the interstitial table and inserts the specified relationships.
However, if there are NO relationships, Cake never does the delete. It SHOULD delete everything from the interstitial, then do no inserts. But if I have one relationship, and try to remove it, it doesn't get removed because the delete doesn't happen. So you effectively can't go from SOME relationships to NO relationships. Out of sight, out of mind? Cake seems to be saying, "Hey, if you don't bring up the relationships, I'm just going to let this be..." My solution is, in my controller, to check if the incoming data array is missing the relationship data (which it would be if no checkboxes were selected), and then populate it with an empty array. Another solution I can envision is using a beforeSave filter on the model to ALWAYS delete everything from the interstitial when the record is saved. This would result in the double delete in some cases, but that's not a huge deal. Any solutions to this? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
