Christopher: I understand the basics behind Cake´s HATBM, but I do not understand how to implement here... You have to notice that "Friends" are also "Users", so I dont know how to build the tables. Should I put the same id in both tables? If not, what is the primary key in the "Friends" table? This case is typical in a CMS, where you want to let the user make "friends" in the community. Anybody who has solved this particular problem?
