I'm currently combining two web apps, both with their own databases
(but located on the same server). One app is Pligg-based and handles
user-authentication. The other app (mine) is CakePHP-based, and
manages all of the "resources."

I can create CakePHP models representing the user in Pligg's tables
using a custom dbconfig, etc. Reading/writing it are no problem. I've
also created Cake models representing my resources and can read/write
them, no problem.

Users can own multiple resources and resources can have multiple
owners, so I believe HABTM is the right association between the
models.

When specifying HABTM, it's possible to specify a custom table for the
association (convention would be "resources_users"), but I'm not able
to (AFAIK) specify a custom dbconfig as well.

The error is that whichever model gets traversed first goes looking
for the association table in its dbconfig, which it will find (for one
model) or it won't (for the other model).

So, is what I'm looking to do possible? Or am I going to have to do
the joins, etc., with straight SQL queries? (Or, more likely, just
combine the databases into one for now.)

Thanks,

Troy.
