Hello bakers!
First: I think the new "with" attribute in HABTM definitions is great.
I started a new project including a User and a Game model with a HABTM
relationship. The join table is "games_users" and contains three
fields: "game_id", "user_id" and the additional field "last_played".
Users and Games are not added or updated using a form but parsing an
XML file. Associations are created by setting $this->data['Game']
['Game'] = array('GAME_ID_1', 'GAME_ID_2'); and then calling $this-
>User->save();. So far so good.
But what is the best way to update the "last_played" field in the join
table? I also asked this question in the IRC channel yesterday and got
the advice to create a model. But what's the whole point of being able
to fetch additional join table fields by setting the "with" attribute
in the HABTM definition but not being able to update these fields
without creating a model?
Of course I could always write a custom query to update this data but
it's is a really ugly solution and I want to stay as clean as
possible, if you know what I mean. ;)
Is there something I overlooked or do I really have to create a model
for the join table?
Thanks for reading, I'd appreciate any help. Have a nice day. :)
